Hello and welcome to The Culture Project. Here we are with the next iteration of the fxhash: Weekly Roundup. We have mints for the new params feature as far as the eye can see. As is normal with any new big update, it’s cool seeing so many artists explore it. We will focus more on those mints this week. Interested to see how params will evolve and be used in the future as more artists use it. One possibly bad thing about params that I’ve seen is that you could make duplicates of the same mint if you share all the settings and the seed you used to make it. Obviously most people wouldn’t want to do this and will make something unique.
Lets dive in.
Metamorph.v2 [params edition] by Cedric Waxwing
Mints on Monday - 64 pieces in the set.
Price: 4 Tezos
An artist we’ve covered in the past. I’ve really enjoyed some of their other works. These look like they are inspired by Mandalas, an art style I really enjoy. These are animated and pretty mesmerizing. Here’s a gif below, but I would check them out live to get a better view.

This next artist is one most people should know, he’s had lot of great releases on fxhash and Art Blocks. I really enjoyed messing with params on this project.
“This project is an experimental cross-chain collection, with a fully-generative A-side published via Art Blocks on Ethereum and an AI-based image composition B-side published via fxhash on Tezos. The artwork symbolizes the great divides we must cross, the connections we make along the way, and the disconnections we feel. We move through the world as the world moves through us.” Hyper Drive: A-Side

Manifesto by XSaha
Mints on Tuesday - 128 pieces in the set.
Price: 2 Tezos
This project is a bit different, I haven’t seen any others quite like it. Thought it was interesting with the state of AI becoming more prevalent in our day to day lives. Especially in the NFT space.
“Now that we are entering a new era, this is a good opportunity for conceptual art to deal with this concept alongside generative art. We are now standing on the edge of a tomorrow that will be different and unpredictable with the existence of artificial intelligence.
This artwork consists of many phrases written by artificial intelligence to create a manifesto about libertarianism and metamaterial needs of artificial intelligence and robots.”

There were a few other good projects coming out this week, but I didn’t have the time to cover more. I really wanted to check out Ryan Bell & Hevey’s new projects and ended up throwing this together with the time I had.
