Punk

Orange

<p><strong>Thanks to her insatiable love for new technologies, anonymous CryptoPunk Suzanne has been thoroughly NFT-pilled, building up a beautiful and valuable collection of digital works, as well as acting as a moderator in the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/a-beginners-guide-to-cryptopunks-nfts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CryptoPunks</a> Discord.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/nf_suzanne" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Suzanne</a> first delved into crypto in 2013 with a Bitcoin purchase which shortly became an obsession. But it wasnt until she bought a <a href="https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0xbd3531da5cf5857e7cfaa92426877b022e612cf8/4935" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pudgy Penguin</a> in August 2021 that she developed a burning curiosity for NFTs.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since then, Suzanne has built a highly desirable collection, including her CryptoPunk PFP.</p>
<p>My favorite pieces are my <a href="https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0xa7d8d9ef8d8ce8992df33d8b8cf4aebabd5bd270/78000128" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fidenza #128 </a>and my <a href="https://cryptopunks.app/cryptopunks/details/5347" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">wild blonde CryptoPunk</a>,” she says. “From early on, my end-goal in the space was always to own a CryptoPunk. They are the ones that started it all. I was lucky to buy a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/j1mmy-eth-minted-420-bored-apes-nfts-worth-150m-nft-creator/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bored Ape</a> early on that I sold at the top. This allowed me to buy a Punk and my first ArtBlocks pieces.</p>

<p>My love for generative art grew over time, and I was lucky to have the opportunity to buy my favorite Fidenza about one and a half years ago. It is on my wall in my living room and its the most beautiful piece that I will ever own.</p>

<p>I am also a big fan of early female computer art pioneers like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillian_Schwartz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Lillian Schwartz</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Moln%C3%A1r" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Vera Molnar</a>. Recently I have become interested in photography and AI art. I am a big fan of <a href="https://twitter.com/rainisto" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Roope Rainisto</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/artemisandarts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Artemis</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/IDerech" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ilan Derech</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/ozbrv" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ozlem</a>.” </p>
<p>Suzanne is one of the best thread creators on NFTs and digital art on the social media platform X, contextualized by her passion for new and shiny technologies dating back to the ’90s when she started an internet company.</p>
<p>As an academic, I have always been interested in the impact of new technologies on the economy, Suzanne says.</p>
<p>What intrigues me about digital art is its convenience in storage, the decentralized nature, the elimination of the need for physical wall space, the ease of buying and selling, and, most importantly, the vibrant community it fosters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Most collectors consider CryptoPunks as the holy grail of NFTs and Suzanne agrees. Purchasing her first Punk in early 2022, she swapped to her signature wild blonde Punk and has immersed herself in Punk culture, rubbing shoulders with some of the true OGs of the NFT space on a daily basis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I bought my first knitted cap female <a href="https://cryptopunks.app/cryptopunks/details/9967" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CryptoPunk #9967</a> in February 2022. In May of that year, I upgraded to my current wild blonde. I only own one, but I feel very privileged, she says.</p>
<p>I’ve only recently stepped into the role of a Discord mod for Punks, and it’s an almost surreal experience to collaborate with some of the earliest claimers of Punks, who are among the most knowledgeable individuals I’ve ever encountered.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The community element really resonates with me. Were dedicated to welcoming newcomers, sharing knowledge, and fostering a positive atmosphere on Discord for Punk Owners and others. It’s absolutely fantastic!</p>
<p>Asked to describe Punk culture, Suzanne believes the ethos of their original counter-cultural movement still rings true today, 6.5 years on from launch.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
 <p>Punk culture, to me, embodies the essence of counter-culture. CryptoPunks are funny, tech-savvy and are the true OGs in the space. They’re incredibly welcoming, brilliantly sharp, and refreshingly grounded.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-describing-generative-art">Describing Generative Art</h2>
<p>Suzanne has a real passion for generative art, with her X threads on the genre being some of the most thoughtful in the space, appreciated by both artists and collectors alike.</p>
<p>Generative art as a concept, however is still widely misunderstood, William Mapan <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/nft-collector-william-mapan-explains-generative-art-using-crayon-dice-nouns-cool-cats/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">described it using a piece of paper</a>, a crayon and dice in a Cointelegraph article last year.</p>

<p>Suzanne shared her own take: Generative art is a form of art where the artwork is created by an autonomous system, such as a computer program, set of rules, or algorithm, often designed by the artist. In this approach, the artist creates the system or the process, which then generates the artwork, sometimes with elements of randomness or interaction.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
 <p>This can result in unique, unpredictable pieces each time the system is run. Generative art represents a shift from traditional art-making to an innovative collaboration between artist and machine, Suzanne says.&nbsp;</p>
