**These are not empty cages: these are free animals! For World Animal Day** **Forgotten Songs**, created by **Michael Thomas Hill**, is a captivating public artwork nestled in **Angel Place, Sydney**. Originally conceived as part of the **2009 Sydney Laneway Temporary Art Scheme**, this installation gained immense popularity. Consequently, in **2011**, it was transformed into a permanent feature as part of the **9 million dollar** laneway installations. The installation itself is a poignant interplay of past and present, juxtaposing large and small, predator and prey. **Forgotten Songs** invites contemplation of Sydney's history, its evolving landscape, and the sustainability challenges posed by urban development. Let's delve into the details: **Birdsong Canopy**: Suspended above Angel Place, a canopy of **120 empty birdcages** filters down the songs of fifty birds that once graced central Sydney. These avian melodies gradually faded as European settlement encroached upon their habitat. During the day, the calls of various bird species echo through the air, while at night, a different set of nocturnal birds takes center stage. **Evolution and Adaptation**: The installation reflects how Sydney's fauna has adapted to coexist with urbanization. While some native bird species have retreated to the city margins, opportunistic birds like the white ibis and sulphur-crested cockatoos thrive amidst the hustle and bustle. These are the familiar calls we often hear today, if we can discern them above the city's traffic. **Endangered Species**: Habitat loss remains a significant threat to bird survival. Currently, **129 bird species native to New South Wales** are formally listed as either extinct or threatened. The recordings in **Forgotten Songs** represent the songs of birds that once graced central Sydney. From the Eastern Whipbird to the Powerful Owl, these avian voices evoke nostalgia for a time when their melodies filled the city's air. **Nocturnal Serenades**: As night falls, the Australian Owlet-nightjar, Powerful Owl, Southern Boobook, Barn Owl, Tawny Frogmouth, and White-throated Nightjar take over the symphony, weaving their nocturnal magic. **Forgotten Songs** serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between urban development and the preservation of our natural heritage. The echoes of these forgotten melodies linger, inviting us to reflect on the intertwined relationship between humans and the environment
Gm, time to aping the dip!

**Top Priority:** Streamlining the process for enabling tipping on responses to posts, initially on @lens/lens and later on @lens/orb. I often overlook this feature until its too late, as was the case when @lens/rileybeans provided valuable input on one of my previous posts (attached). I hadn't activated tipping to be able to thank her. Added tipping to this one and all proceeds go to @lens/rileybeans of you found this comment by her useful the same way I did. @lens/bonsai ofc.

HNY everyone! 2024 and Lens to me is about finding the unfamiliar again and truly building generational tech and products. Copying what’s come before is the safer and easier choice but doesn’t create the same groundbreaking impact. I reflect a lot on TikTok, when I joined I knew ByteDance had built something innovative in Asia, but it’s future in the west in wasn’t so clear. My friends thought I was crazy leaving my current situation and didn’t understand what it could become. To everyone now it’s obvious, but back then it wasn’t and disregarded by many before it’s hockey stick growth and inflection point. Being able to now say I was part of a generational global product now is something I’m very proud of. I’ll never forget being allocated the same desk in NYC WeWork with 12 desks as Zhang Yiming on my first day who was in town and graciously told me to keep it. Or early days having the opportunity to be in meetings with Alex Zhu whose philosophy about social apps as countries and co creation as a social fabric still resonates today and blue print for social builders. Even I didn’t realize it at the time how lucky I was, but I hold these moments today. It’s why in jumped into web3 finally after many years of being on the surface personally. I had conviction after my bet on ByteDance played out and excited to embark on another. Next goal is being able to say I was part of infrastructure backbone making possible the next wave of innovative consumer products. While the power of @lens/lensprotocol may be invisible to most, if there is one thing I’ve learned it’s that game changing tech more than often comes from what not everyone sees. It’s never what’s familiar and expected to all. That’s why it’s disruptive. 2024 let’s rock.

When I find some good asset you know, whether it's a food or a stock, I want to deeply dive in and immerse myself for 1 month, if not a year.
How to use DeFillama to spot new trends early. 1. Go to Chains and filter based off highest 1 day or 7 day change. 2. Find the chains that have the biggest changes in TVL. Make sure the chain has a decent baseline for volume. 3. Click on the chain to see what protocol is driving inflows. Shimmer and MultiverseX stand out to me so I want to see what is driving growth. 4. Do more research and see if there are catalysts for the chain. 5. Look at the price of the token compared to recent TVL. Volume often precedes price changes. 6. Go to Fees/Revenue to find revenue info on specific projects. If you find a project with growing revenue but no price movement, that could warrant more research. 7. For new chains, you gain exposure either through holding the native token or looking for farms on app protocols. 8. Remember that the newer something is, the more risk it carries. Make sure the chain and app are legitimate before putting your money in.
Swinging is my favorite activity

I started series on Web3 Smart Contract Security demonstrating live exploits so that we can be better Solidity developers. I showed a live Reentrancy Attack and my latest upload is about Solidity Math Exploits. Check it out on Youtube: AlysiaTech
