- Hey Lens Frens, in our genesis post, we want to introduce ourselves 🌿
**Who We Are**
Bundlr is a data layer providing scalable, performant, and seamless solutions to empower builders. We are a scaling solution for Arweave and currently process over 90% of its transactions.
**Our Vision**
Anyone should be able to discover, read, and write public information, forever. There should equally be an option to securely store private information. And all of this should happen without sacrificing performance, scalability, and the ease of use that users expect. We strive to turn these ideals into reality.
**Why Use Bundlr?**
Bundlr is the natural choice for any use case in which the permanence and provenance of data are important, especially when coupled with the need for low latencies and costs at high throughput. We are anticipating that Bundlr will become an integral component of not only decentralized social media, but also messaging, information archiving, and other use cases in which data might be vulnerable to censorship or unauthorized modification.
**Want to learn more about us? Check out our blog**

We’ll have some big news to share in the near future. Stay tuned 😊

Curated Lens Creators is our attempt at curating lists of creators + their audiences for different types of promotional content. It's a data pipeline that does two things:
- who are the top creators on lens based on activity, follows, post engagement, etc?
- using the lens profile interests, use an ML/LDA model to infer a creator’s actual interest based on their content
Need to promote an NFT Collection?
DeFi Protocol upgrade?
Music NFT drop?
Latest creator tool?
We're taking the first step towards offering curated lists as a service for lens clients; suggested follows, for you, promotional offers (cc @stani.lens)
Our list is in beta and available for browsing. We're still working on the algo, so tags are not perfect - but if you're on the list, comment with your screenshot!

Lyrics from a song I recently wrote:::
Grateful for my Mother & my Father
Grateful for this planet that we’re on
May we find the power that’s within us
May we realize that we’re all ONE
Each of us are here on our own mission
Each of us hold space for a New Earth
All the generations those before us
All the generations yet to come
May you find your purpose on this planet
To help us all ascend & be reborn

- Snapshot of the process behind my work being auctioned at Sotheby's tonight!
Auction period - 19th - 26th April!
I am not only the 1st NFT artist to reach Sotheby's // I guess I am also the 1st artist from Lens to be there 😃
Link to Sotheby's page!
https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2023/glitch-beyond-binary/downloading-shiva-1-of-1-nft-by-cybershakti-2023
"Downloading Shiva" is a self-portrait by Glitch artist Cyber Shakti, inspired by the love story of Shiva and Shakti in Hindu mythology. The work was made when the artist adorned her Shakti avatar, coming into her own during a challenging time in her life!
The artwork features a digital portrait of Cyber Shakti in a trance-like state, surrounded by a swirling vortex of vibrant glitched pixels.
The focal point of the artwork is the image of Shiva, one of the primary gods in Hinduism, who is depicted as a digital manifestation. The image of Shiva appears to be downloading into the artist's consciousness. The work merges the ancient deity, retelling the story of the masculine and feminine deities in the cyber realms.
Cyber Shakti was inspired by the moment in the love story of Shiva and Shakti when Shakti decided to be in her own power and awaken Shiva from his deep state of meditation. The union of Shiva and Shakti represents the union of the individual soul with the universal consciousness, and this moment in the love story symbolizes the power of the feminine to awaken and transform the masculine within. In this Glitch rendition, Shiva and Shakti are slowly becoming one. Shiva is Shakti & Shakti is Shiva.

I'm suuuuper awk on video but I made this little one about three big takeaways I got from a few of the panels I attended at SXSW. I'm hoping to make more soon, and hopefully, get over my shyness. 🥰

- Today marks the day that I (at least briefly) reached the 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify mark. What does that really mean to me? It feels really good to know so many people have had contact with my music within the last 31 days. It feels very rewarding and I’m super grateful about it.
I want to thank all the artists I’ve collaborated with, to everyone that works everyday so that me and my music gets recognition but more importantly to those that deliberately or randomly listen to my music.
I know a part of these listeners are casually listening to Spotify radio or are at a coffee shop that is playing a playlist where a song of mine is included and my music swings into their life maybe only once and they will never know who I am. Streaming (as it is right now) is not a perfect model. To be honest I think it actually is a broken model, something that needs to be re-evaluated and maybe redone. In my opinion It is now oriented for a more passive mode. Artists are not really connected to fans and vice-versa. That experience is yet to be properly achieved. But I think it might be possible. There must be a way where the regular streaming service can better valuate music, artists and fans. This is me thinking loud... As an artist and label head I can understand a bit what’s right and wrong with streaming services but it’s hard to expose a perfect solution as I can’t come up with one. Maybe a good start is giving more value to a play made by a fan. That play would generate more revenue than a random play. As a fan I would feel like a super special person if playing a track from one of my favourite artists would benefit that artist in a superior way… that alone would be a reward for me as a fan. Now imagine developing more and more this idea of fan-artist relationship and improving humanity to services that basically offer all the recorded music humanity has fabricated. Maybe that’s a way 🙂
Anyway, thank you all again 💜 I hope to keep seeing you now and in whatever the music industry turns to be in the future.
- So, it was 1999 or so, and I was figuring out how to make this "computer music" with software that was basically impossible to get as I had no internet connection at home. I would download very early Fruity Loops versions at the University with an ultra slow connection and then take it on floppy disks home to install and toy around with music making.
A couple days ago I was searching for an essay I've done for school back in the days on this ancient hard-drive and accidentally found a couple of tunes I was working on on those days. A couple sounded pretty decent having in mind how and when they were made so I chose one to drop here. At the time I was doing this music, it was all for the fun. Kind of a distraction more than something I would care to do in the future. More than 20 years have passed and I never had a job non music related since then. My hobby, my job. Collect that. 🙂
