Welcome to the second edition of VAULT, where we explore the vaults of notable collectors across the digital art space and spotlight the artists and artworks that make up their collections. This edition features Blondie.
@Blondie23LMD originally discovered cryptoart and PFPs through a group of fellow collectors in the fashion and sneaker space. With a natural affinity for colorful art and rainbow aesthetics, Doodles became her initial introduction to the NFT ecosystem.
Following the passing of her beloved husband, Blondie found solace and purpose in her pursuit to establish a digital art collection that provided an outlet for expression and connection.
Through her experience collecting and showcasing tokenized art in-home, on televisions, she developed a passion for displaying work in a way that felt digitally native to the medium.
This was the precursor to @whitewallsapp, a platform that transforms idle screens into dynamic art galleries—turning televisions into an effortless stage for digital art collections. Blondie co-founded White Walls alongside a team of passionate builders, investors, and collectors.
Her passion for digital art and love for the artists that make up our ecosystem are reflected in a diverse collection that explores the realms of 3D animation, film photography, mixed-media, glitch, genart and more. The works below have been curated to showcase the vault.

Self Reflection
Hayden Clay is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, New York, exploring surreal concepts, often through natural themes such as water or clouds. His work blurs the line between dreams and reality, creating sensations of strange tranquility.
Hayden's practice coalesces analog photography with 3D digital techniques to create soft pastel scenes—storytelling from the perspective of a childlike adventure with a mature undertone; providing a sense of nostalgia and calm.
Self Reflection is a 3D animated loop of an illuminated figure reflected across ocean waves, where one may find themselves in the water.
trapped in blue light
Olivia Pedigo is a Miami native 3D artist, animator, and graphic designer who creates dreamscapes where comfort and isolation intersect, with a focus on technology and the feminine perspective.
Each scene, devoid of human presence yet filled with character, explores the relationship between individuals and their possessions. Olivia's work draws inspiration from childhood influences like Dr. Seuss and contemporary artists such as Jiayi Li, Nathalie Nguyen, and Hilma af Klint.
trapped in blue light depicts a dwelling place caught between the flickering blue lights and tangled wires, where a bed is no place to rest when the world lives in your room.
A Braid of Wind, Hand and Wheat
Summer Wagner is an artist from the rust belt region of the Midwest, United States. Her work considers the spiritual, ecological and technological contemplations pressing a post-industrial world.
Wagner builds narrative worlds captured through lens-based mediums with theatrical, story-driven pieces that blur the line between fantasy and reality; begging the viewer to consider the hidden and subconscious themes layered in each piece and ultimately everyday life.
A Braid of Wind, Hand and Wheat is a paint-like photograph of an individual in a wheat field on what appears to be an early fall evening, where life nestles in-between the knowing and unknowing.
Merriment
Adam Levine, aka Adamtastic, is a New Jersey-based creative director and digital emotional-expressionist with a passion for telling stories. His art aims to spread joy and positivity while also provoking deep thought. Each piece is character driven, vibrant, and whimsical—inviting viewers to connect with their inner-child.
Merriment is from Adam's Intangibles series: 42 hand-drawn, experimental, animated kinetic sculptures designed to express the emotional resonance of well-known yet often indescribable human emotions.
COPE SALADA 145
XCOPY is an anonymous London-based digital artist creating digital glitched works that explore concepts around death, dystopia and apathy via chaotic, flashing visuals and distorted neon loops.
He began sharing work on Tumblr in August 2010 and 8 years later released his first NFT, Echoes of a Dead Earth, on SuperRare. It's believed the name XCOPY nods to a command in the Microsoft operating system that copies files between directories and networks.
Edicurial suggests the name reflects the replication and distribution of digital art, similar to the ERC-721 token standard on Ethereum. XCOPY's identity, in essence, is tied to the movement and proliferation of digital world artifacts.
Cope Salada is a visual expression, featuring cope-lines, hopium vision, and cope doused in minteh.
Infinite Garden: 76518 Flowers
Leander Herzog is a visual artist based in Switzerland, creating images with code since 2006. His focus is generative art and abstract animation on the web, exploring the contrast between the simplicity of algorithmic systems and the complexity of their emergent properties.
Infinite Garden transforms the concept of digital materiality through an ever-shifting botanical ecosystem on blockchain where no single moment repeats itself. The series allows collectors to actively participate in the cultivation of living digital flora, conceiving works collectively via smart contract.
Each element exists in a state of perpetual evolution, responding to temporal conditions including diurnal cycles and seasonal progressions. Infinite Garden invites the audience to root for blockchain not merely as a transactional framework but as an expressive medium with distinct properties for generative art.
Immaterial 258
Bjørn Staal, also known as nonfigurativ, is a Norwegian artist, programmer, and researcher whose work explores the dynamic interactions between computational systems, human perception and behavior.
With more than a decade of experience in multidisciplinary design and software development, Staal co-founded the experimental art and design studio Void in 2015—focused mainly on the development of large-scale, interactive installations.
Immaterial is a long form generative series exploring synthetic biology and botany through a combination of algorithms inspired by natural systems, such as recursion, growth, fluidity and fractal-noise.
Originally influenced by the underlying structure of fungi gills, the series explores a wide range of formations and life forms, referencing possible futures where digital and organic systems merge.
Disco Nyan Balloon WIP
Nyan Cat, also rarely called "Pop Tart Cat," is an 8-bit animation created by Chris Torres, known online as PRguitarman, depicting a gray cat with the body of a cherry Pop-Tart flying through outer space.
"Nyan Cat is the name of an animation uploaded on April 2, 2011, and became a viral internet sensation. The design of Nyan Cat was inspired by my cat Marty, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge but lives on in spirit."
Disco Nyan Balloon WIP is part of the Nyan Cat WIP series, an experimental collection featuring proof of work. Nyan Balloon is a character Chris created in 2011 as a "prequel" to Nyan Cat. You can view the original video here. This time-lapse is a span of about 3 months.
Glaumbær II
Kristopher Shinn is a Seattle-based photographer and storyteller capturing evocative, narrative-based imagery—conveying feelings of nostalgia and calm. For many years, he’s documented several journeys across the Puget Sound on 35mm and medium format film.
Glaumbær II is a film photograph that Kristopher captured in Glaumbær, Iceland using the Mamiya 7 on Kodak Portra 400.
"After photographing the white and yellow turf huts at Glaumbær, I turned around to soak up the incredible scenery. This scene truly felt like I was living in a painting."
Stream Processing, 2023
Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus began collaborating as LoVid in 2000, combining craft-oriented analog processes and playful engineering with natural and social science. LoVid's live performances, participatory public art works, immersive installations, and video and textile projects express the radiant noise of an electrified but human world.
Their interdisciplinary works explore the often invisible or intangible aspects of contemporary society with a particular interest in how technology seeps into the evolution of human culture, such as communication systems and biological signals.
Stream Processing is an overlapping and dense collage of analog, digital, and handmade visual materials. Details and patterns are the foundation of this work, emphasized by looping and juxtaposing analog video frames, painting, and sewing.
