Hello and welcome to The Culture Project. We are here with the next iteration of the fx(hash): Weekly Roundup. A few familiar faces releasing some great projects this week. One of them is incredibly unique using audio input to help generate the art.
Lets dive in.
Spellbound by Anna Lucia & Phoebe Heess
Mints on Tuesday - Open Edition - Params / Redeemable
Price: 175 Tezos
This is a very interesting project. A collab between a generative artist and a hi-tech fashion lab. Anna has had some amazing releases on fx(hash) in the past. Cool to see her coming back with a new one. With this project you record audio and it is processed and becomes part of the visual output that is created. After you create your piece you can redeem it for a physical scarf. It looks like everything is included in the mint price. Love to see these kinds of innovative projects.
Fashion is a way of expressing yourself, whether consciously or unconsciously. When deciding what to wear, signals of identity, culture, place, time, values, memories, and so much more always trickle through. Spellbound embeds these personal signals in a scarf to keep you or a loved one warm.
Using the fxhash params feature, you can record a voice note that will generate a unique scarf design. Record a message for a friend, your favorite song, or a quote you want to live by; get creative. After minting your token, you can redeem your scarf.
Spellbound is the first fxhash project combining personalized on-demand fashion and generative art, pushing towards a more unique and sustainable future of fashion. Spellbound creates singular designs within a broader collection, resulting in cohesive aesthetics that allow individual expression while belonging to a tribe.
Mints on Tuesday - 100 pieces in the set.
Price: 1 Tezos
Not the first time I’ve covered Jeff’s work and it most likely won’t be the last. This looks a lot different from most of his projects. He’s done a lot of landscape, cityscape, and abstract works. He’s always pushing his art and exploring new things. He’s done a few other animated projects, but this one is really impressive. I recommend going to the project site and checking them out live.
ChromaSlide generates animations that fill the screen, run forever, and do not repeat.
Most editions have a 4 color palette and each color emerges only from one of the edges. Dashed lines are drawn at an edge and then the pixels in a rectangular region are shifted. The overlap between different regions cause a mixing and complex movement of the colored pixels. Will the color that emerges from one side reach the opposite or get shunted aside? Does one color dominate over the others? Do persistent structures emerge from the sliding colors?
The Infinite Equation of Us by Ryan Bell
Mints on Tuesday - 420 pieces in the set. - On-Chain
Price: 6.9 Tezos
Ryan Bell should be another house hold name for fx(hash) collectors. He’s had some amazing releases in the past and this one looks amazing. They look like different sculptures with rooms built round them to accentuate them. I really like the dithered backgrounds, the reflections in the floor, and all the different geometric looking patterns.
until we meet again
in that space we've always occupied
timeless, crystallized
beyond the tick of clocks.
where every goodbye is just a pause...
in the infinite equation of us
sunset for plotters by mekhno / Marc L Clapers
Mints on Wednesday - 100 pieces in the set. - On-Chain -Animated -Interactive -Redeemable
Price: 3 Tezos
This one is a lot more minimalistic than the other projects. A lot of the outputs can be a bit similar, but I just love the nostalgic feeling I get from these. Reminds me of laying in a field and watching the clouds go by. I had trouble getting the gifs to download. You should check these out live to get a real feel for them. I think there is a redeemable feature for a plottable print.
