a sinking ship in the flank of the wave, masts snapped, one line running toward the moon.
in the myth the argo rots away and the gods put it among the stars. here's the ship. there's the sky

i ran the water texture through a reverse image search. google's answer: alt-j, "an awesome wave".
look at them side by side. same dither language.

then i found letters hidden in the wall behind the crew. thin, wide-spaced capitals.
now look at the back cover of the band alt-j: "an awesome wave". same typography.
i can't fully decode the word yet. my money is on BLOODFLOOD. a flood, on a wave. you tell me.

and the moon swirls like van gogh's starry night. that's the series this print belongs to.
178 prints of a starry night became 9,999 skeletons under the same moon

now the part that gave me chills:
the rowers in the hokusai boats are SKELETONS.
edition of 178, months before argonauts. the crew was already rowing

it doesn't stop there. the water is a control panel.
"coarse tune fine". "voices". knob labels woven into the sea like currents.
you don't see them. you find them

the wave crest carries text: "decay ... sustain ... release"
that's a synth envelope. and "attack" is missing, because the RISING WAVE is the attack.
the wave isn't decorated with a synth. the wave IS the synth

I spent tonight zooming through ack's "synth wave" at 9000px high resolution.
the first print from the starry nights, edition of 178. the piece that came before argonauts.
what he hid inside is absurd.

"letting the whispers of the Muse guide my way", that's ack's whole bio.
argonauts is that sentence turned into 9,999 pieces. a crew, a voyage, one artist's muse.
nfa, i'm just a skeleton rowing, but what i will say is "LET´S FUCKIN ROW!" 🦴🚣

still open: the site says "digital: claim at unveiling"
every argonaut comes with a signed 4x4 inch chromasculpt print, one per piece, ever. the digital counterpart is announced but not dated.
the voyage isn't over

and the burns.
in the myth the argo rots away, and the gods place the ship among the stars. immortalized through its own ending.
when argonauts get burned today, ack animates them. destruction becomes the artwork. same arc, 3000 years later

the cloaks are my favorite detail.
the site says the skeletons "lived in service of the Muse. some served Her in secret, some through religion, some in spirit alone. some refused to serve and served Her even still."
clergy, death, ivory, royalty, servant. that's not random headgear. that's HOW each one served

the trait names are the voyage:
oarsman's band = the rowers of the argo
aegean blue = the sea they crossed
corsair = the raiders
siren palette, 89 pieces = the sirens orpheus had to outplay
every filter on opensea is a chapter of the story

in the myth, the gods place the argo among the stars.
ack scaled a starry night from 178 prints to 9,999 skeletons.
the crew IS the night sky. every argonaut is one star of the constellation 🌌

and here's the part almost nobody connects:
argonauts didn't start with argonauts.
ack's "starry nights" series began with ONE chromasculpt print: "synth wave", edition of 178. same technique as every argonaut print today.
When you zoom in you can even see the skeletons, the Argonauts row the boats in the artwork.

the golden fleece exists in the collection. once.
it's a 1/1 crown on the rank #1 argonaut, held by adam weitsman. and his wallet is the only one that claimed a physical print so far.
the collection already has its jason

why skeletons?
in colchis jason has to sow dragon teeth into a field. out of the ground grow SKELETON WARRIORS, the spartoi.
9,999 skeletons is not a random art choice. it's the sown crew of the myth

the myth in 30 seconds:
jason needs the golden fleece to claim his throne. he builds a ship, the Argo, and recruits ~50 heroes as crew.
the Argonauts. literally "sailors of the Argo"

1/ UNDERSTANDING ARGONAUTS BY A.C.K.
ack built argonauts on one of the oldest stories ever told: jason and the golden fleece.
and the deeper you look, the more of the myth you find woven into these 9,999 skeletons.
buckle up for some surprises...

What if Argonauts are like Gazers and change, based on external influence?
With the difference that we don’t know what (all) the external influence fa.c.k.tors are?

Btw you can’t see the 33 ETH Argonauts sale on Opensea because it was sold on their own marketplace at the musefacktory.

Not concerning at all…
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

🚨 Grail parallel 🚨
Argonaut #3482, one of only 9 Aliens in the collection, just sold for 33 ETH two weeks after mint.
BAYC minted for 0.08 ETH in April ‘21. Took until August before anyone paid that kind of money for an Ape.
Do with this information what you want.

I cannot help but think that these Argonauts that look like nothing is really visible or distinguishable are in for a "special treatment" by a.c.k. later on.
But what do i know...

Dear @lphaCentauriKid thank you for gifting me an Argonaut.
Had to get a second one on secondary after the whole collection minted out in seconds.
Seems like NFTs are really really really back.

I would not have thought that Kim Asendorf would ever create another collection that I love as much (if not even more) as PXL DEX…

I built an AI that x-rays any crypto project.
No buy calls. No price targets. No BS.
Just the facts you'd otherwise spend 3 hours digging for…and the questions YOU need to answer before you decide.
I ran Worldcoin ($WLD) through it. It pulled the biometric-data deletion orders across 7+ countries, flagged that only ~33% of supply is circulating with unlocks running to 2038, and filtered out every price-prediction clickbait.
Zero "buy." That's the whole point.
