on November 11 2022, glitch Gallery exhibited ‘Computer Cowgirls’ by Molly Dickson the collection is composed of 201 animated artworks on ethereum Dickson hand assembled and collage-animated each figure, one by one, drawing on her practice at the intersection of photography and digital collage as a result, each cowgirl appears to ‘shimmy’ her way down a campy rhinestone road the work is unapologetically female in its aesthetic indeed, it is as much unserious as it is serious, skillful as it is improvisational – defining features of Dickson’s oeuvre notably, the collection originated as a response to restrictive legislation passed in Texas in early 2022 the cowgirl, a figure of American mythology and feminine self-possession, is repurposed here as a vehicle for dissent 100% of the collection's proceeds went directly to fund women’s health organizations in Texas, while the ‘Computer Cowgirls’ collection was covered across national news outlets in early summer 2022 in many ways, the collection led the charge for other crypto art projects to use blockchains as a mechanism for charitable donations and political change ‘Computer Cowgirls’ was the first exhibition presented during Art Blocks Weekend in 2022 interdisciplinary by nature, the show gave visitors multiple ways to engage with Dickson’s work – watching the cowgirls shimmy through AR technology, taking mugshot-style Polaroid selfies in the back of the gallery, scanning cigarette cartons to claim artist-designed merch today, our curation team is honored to immortalize Molly Dickson’s ‘Computer Cowgirls’ exhibition at @glitchmarfa, as a digital exhibition poster on ethereum first, to our @glitchmarfa full set holders, our community of passionate art collectors since 2023 all unique ‘Full Set’ holders – a total of 187 unique wallets – were airdropped one of these digital exhibition posters earlier today you can now view your poster directly from any wallet interface, or at transient.xyz/@glitchGallery… for all other @glitchmarfa supporters or Molly Dickson collectors – we’re excited to give folks the opportunity to redeem any number of ‘Computer Cowgirl’ posters – until July 13th, 2026 – using @TransientLabs ‘burn and redeem’ product instructions: if you own *any* previous @glitchmarfa ‘Exhibition Poster’ from @glitchmarfa, from now until July 13th, 2026 you can ‘burn and redeem’ any single poster from the ‘Exhibition Posters’ contract and immediately receive a ‘Computer Cowgirls’ poster in return, at the below link on @transientlabs: transient.xyz/redemption/eth… please redeem as many posters as you’d like during the window, which will end on July 13th, 2026 @ 8:00 AM (PT) as always, we’re grateful for your support long live crypto art your glitch curators - @magey_mage, @maltefr_eth, @derekedws
