Rick Schwartz announced the multi-million dollar sale “with benefits” of ASS.com a few months ago. The three letter, single word .com with strong adult overtones is “under contract” with additional terms that’ll provide royalties to the Domain King.
Many expected ASS.com to become a cryptocurrency portal, especially since Rick owns AssCoin.com and AssCoins.com.
It’s past Labor Day and as Rick promised, the landing page has changed, revealing that ASS.com is in fact going to be an art project and an energy sustainability collaboration.
What is the ASS.com project all about?
ass.com is a curated collection of 2000’s digital artworks from which modern memes and posting practices derive. It’s a pretentious celebration of the shitpost – the canvas of choice for a generation of artists forgotten and the inspired to come. It’s also a bootstrapped museum, delivered to anyone with internet access, free of charge, signup unsolicited.
[…] Cryptocurrencies burn fuel because most energy is generated by burning fuel. In this liminal period, these digital financial instruments can serve us by funding projects to expand regional energy security. Renewable infrastructure moves us closer to the day humankind computes for free.
