Hello and welcome to The Culture Project. We are here with the next iteration of the fx(hash): Weekly Roundup. We have some really nice minimalistic work this week. A bunch of artists I’m not familiar with, which is always fun. Exploring new names and art makes for a good time. I also have an update on a launch calendar project I talked about last week.
Lets dive in.
Mints on Monday - 50 pieces in the set.
Price: 2 Tezos
This is a wonderful minimalistic project with a really nice balance to it. The varying lines and colors give it a feeling of depth. They remind me of landscapes of rolling hills.
An attempt to recreate nature in a minimalistic manner.

Mints on Wednesday - 256 pieces in the set.
Price: 0.05 -> 0.04 -> 0.03 -> 0.02 ETH with Rebate
Changes every 7 minutes.
Sprawling cityscapes of lines and grain. The most common outputs were two tone and they set a great mood to the work. Then you get the ones with color that just really pop.
I think I have written about my general views on art in previous projects. Nothing has changed in this case.
But regarding this project, I have used two new things for the first time in my work. First, using a three-dimensional visual element (cube) and second, trying to fill the image surfaces with texture (made by lines).
Mints on Wednesday - 150 pieces in the set.

This one is based on the bird of many legends the Phoenix. When looking at these it reminded me of long exposures you would get in photography. A blend of movement you get with a slow shutter speed. Love the abstract forms that lean towards that motion. A birth of movement and life.
In ancient Greek: φοῖνιξ
In Arabic: Al-Anqa
In English: Phoenix
The sacred bird is a legend that is mentioned in Iranian mythology, Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology, and Chinese mythology.
It is said that he is a rare and lonely bird and does not mate or reproduce. But once every thousand years, it spreads its wings on a large pile of firewood and sings, and when it is excited by its song, it lights a fire with its beak, and by burning in the fire from its ashes, another phoenix is born.
In many cultures, the phoenix is considered a symbol of immortality, sacrifice, and long life.
In this work, I tried to create bird-like shapes that are being formed and created by using a grid in the form of noise and with the shape of rectangles that have random length and width and get their color from the palettes. You can clearly see the wings or the bird's head in most of the exits
In fact, my idea is to depict the moment of resurrection and rebirth of the phoenix from the heart of the ashes, which rises to the sky.
the ash particles around this reborn bird are being scattered in the air and finally from At the heart of this re-creation, a beautiful and glorious phoenix comes into existence.
Mints on Thursday - 100 pieces in the set.
Price: 3.21 Tezos
This one is minimalism done extremely well. I love the blending of colors in the bands and the use of negative space. These hit hard. I went through a ton of outputs on these. They load so fast it made it fun and easy to explore the algo.
Banding is a graphic design term that refers to the visible stripes or bands of colour that appear in a gradient or smooth transition between different colour tones. These bands can be the result of limitations in colour depth, compression, or display capabilities. Banding is often considered a flaw in design, as it disrupts the smooth and continuous appearance of a gradient, leading to a less visually appealing result. With this project I wanted to explore the beautiful side of banding; zooming in on the stepped colour bars and creating a minimalist composition that leads your eyes across or into the canvas as they explore the contours of lines and the depth of the colours.
An update on qubibi’s drop that is coming to fxhash. He reached out to me after the last article to let me know about the project. Unfortunately he is going to be hospitalized for a little while. He will be releasing it at the end of February on the 29th. We hope you are doing alright and get better soon qubibi!
I will post more information on this project as we start to learn more about it.
