Following the salon portion of our show, I will host the lab to answer any questions that you may still have before designing your entry.
Stay tuned for times and links
Bonus: Here’s a lightning talk by Ira at Devcon last week!
I want to take builders on the turbulent ride through how subcultural and social movements used their visual codes when spreading globally, and what design tasks are still ahead of us on the way to making Ethereum cypherpunk again and onboarding the next billion users to Web3 at the same time. This ride will include three stops: 1. waving one’s emotional state into the collective identity 2. using shared aesthetics as a signal of belonging 3. coordinating a collective design process.
Zk Av Club is on a mission to redefine its identity—your creativity could set the tone for years to come! We’re seeking a Vibe Guide that expresses the innovative spirit of our creator community and guides the evolution of the club’s brand.
What’s a Vibe Guide?
It’s a blueprint for our emotional tone and mood—colors, textures, words, imagery, audio, and more. This vibe guide will serve as a flexible foundation for our website, media, merch, and events.
Only 2 Days Left to Enter the Zk Av Club Vibe Contest!

Thank you to the 4 contestants who submitted entries. My decision will be fast and easy. I was expecting A LOT more entries.
To be honest, the amount of energy this took from me and the low number of applicants has me rethinking the whole contest strategy. Fortunately, my strategy has only just begun and I’m not easily discouraged by low numbers (ikr!)
Contests are games, not tasks.
My contests are meant to be interactive. Ask questions, join calls and create something as a community. Although my methods may seem too experimental for folks in technical communities and I’m sad about this missed opportunity, it won’t be the last.
Come play with us.
Zk Av Club is a playground for all kinds of minds to get creative and be challenged. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and collaborate with others who share your curiosities and interests.
The contest winner will be announced tomorrow at the start of my office hours. Believe it or not, I’m a nice person and trying my best to support you all.
Fun Fact: The person who had the most fun in this contest is the winner.
Wait! There’s more!!
During the vibe contest, 21 ZEC was received in the Zk Av Club donation account This donation will be used to design and run a series of contests to refine the Zk Av Club’s vibe, style, aesthetic and audiovisual brand, based on the results of the Vibe Contest which will be announced tomorrow at the beginning of my weekly office hours (around 17h utc).
Don’t worry, if you didn’t get a chance to enter this time around - there will be more soon - thanks to one very cool anon
