    This Month:-1. Maco expresses gratitude and hopes to continue the partnership in a mutually beneficial way.-2. SQ X acknowledges the good fight and wishes luck for the next iteration.-3. 0x3y3 expresses gratitude for the support and feedback from the community despite the proposal not passing and plans to work out a better proposal with the community in the coming weeks.-4. 0x3y3 proposes that airdrop tokens for existing nouns need to be claimed during a claim window, otherwise, they will be sold with all proceeds going to the treasury.-5. They suggest that SubDAO art from projects like Lil Nouns could be accessible via the MATRing portal.-6. They propose multiple mechanisms for direct ROI to DAO/Treasury including added value to future auctions, added value to existing nouns with unclaimed tokens, primary sales of unclaimed tokens, and royalties on trades of tokens.-7. They emphasize that the proposal aims to return value to the DAO in both tangible and intangible ways.-8. They invite the community to reach out with any concerns or questions about the proposal and announce their presence on Noun O'Clock at 8.

    Artmatr, a company specializing in art and robotics, is proposing to use their Matr Labs robotics to create 1,001 Nouns (unique digital artworks) on-demand. The company will develop custo m software and hardware for this project, including an exclusive physical redemption token and a portal with AI creative control.

    The art / tech here is compelling, and we stand to benefit from continued expansion into the New York art scene. Prop 224 was intended to market the Nouns auction and increase prices. I think we stand to benefit from explicitly approaching this. Lets try to actually learn some lessons in the grand virtuous cycle experiment. In the previous prop past art was referenced as selling for more than 250k, yet the pieces from Prop 224 did not raise auction prices by anywhere close to that. We did not move the needle on auction prices as planned, there was a disconnect. But - they did a few things right. They raised auction prices in a way that was clearly attributed to their efforts, meaning they effectively caught peoples attention and converted this into bids, proving that the approach is a possibility. They earned genuine enthusiasm from a number of Nouners during the week, I enjoyed their posts on twitter, the events they held, and this video: https://vimeo.com/829178232. I think it makes sense to readjust and try again, and they have. This proposal offers 1001 physical pieces at a significantly lower per-piece cost to the DAO. On top of this, and most importantly, this is paired with 10 months of marketing, comms, and events. I am in favour of this proposal. For it to be considered a success, and receive further funding, we need to see a sustained increase in average auction price. If it increases by about 1 ETH over the next 264 days we break even. If this passes I hope the team puts serious effort into drawing attention to their art and the daily Nouns auction. I expect to see buzz on Twitter and other socials celebrating the Noun of the day.

    I’m voting for an infinite artwork that spawns child artworks that themselves can have their own ecosystem, adding depth and lore to the CC0 Universe.

    I think the experiment is worth continuing on a larger scale. Financially, the added utility of Nouns may increase auction prices, which is revenue that goes to the DAO and helps subsidize the cost of the prop. More interestingly, though, I think its a unique opportunity to proliferate Nouns further in the physical art space, which is largely underexplored at the moment.

    ambitious project with high quality physicals for Noun holders. these are the types of props we should be encouraging to explore more mediums to proliferate Nouns

    As a nouner, I will donate my redeemed physicals to prominent galleries/museums in my part of the world. I’d recommend others do the same.

    The ask is very reasonable for a prop of this scale and the team has shown the ability to execute in their previous prop. Artwork is very important to expanding our culture and I think that being the first DAO to organize and coordinate a large scale digital to physical bridge could have a lot of potential provenance value that we can leverage going forward.

    I am the happy owner of an Artmatr piece that came from prop 224. This is a high ask, but I think its an ambitious prop with high proliferation potential. The team executed well on prop 224--both in quality of work, and in online and IRL event proliferation. I think the team is networked into a good art scene that Nouns should stay engaged with and frankly I just find the prop pretty charismatic! Its cool art tech, and I think people will have fun trading tokens and making their own Nouns prints. Would be really excited to see this come to life.

    I want to see Nouns break into culture. I think tapping into art and the art scene is a great way to make this happen. I’m impressed by Artmatr’s custom tech and collaboration so far with Nouns. I’m supportive of this experiment and I’m betting the Artmatr team will exceed expectations.

    (noun40 voting via agora) artmatr team seems to be genuinely pushing the boundaries of traditional art x tech and this feels like a genuine high effort prop tailored to nouns. supportive of this experimentation.

    I really like the artmatr technology and there is probably a smaller scope collaboration with them that I would support, but this is too ambitious and not targeted enough

    I have tried but fail to fall in love with these machine-generated noun copies. Something about this is not thought-provoking, weird, nor endearing enough for me to get excited. On the plus side, i appreciate that Artmatr want to dedicate their time to nouns, and perhaps the butterfly effect of that engagement is reason enough to support a prop like this. Hence, Abstain.
