The Weekly Roundup #107
Looking at digital art projects and releases.
Hello and welcome to The Culture Project. Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there. Hope everyone is having a great day. I woke up early this morning grabbed my coffee and got right to work with the article. There is so much great art to share today and some amazing art coming out in the near future. There are exciting things happening in the gen art scene right now and I can’t wait to see how things play out over the next few months. I’ll cover more on that stuff as it happens over the next few weeks. For now…
Lets dive in.

ciphrd is an amazing artist and also the founder of fx(hash). fx(hash) will be releasing their new token very soon. I recommend reading about the drop and the upcoming artist tokens that are connected to it. There is a whole new ecosystem that is about to start on fx(hash).
There will be artist tokens that fx(hash) tokens will trade for. With the artist tokens you will be able to mint their new projects releasing on fx(hash). This is an over simplification of the tokens and process. There is a lot more to it. Soooo please! Read that article to learn more about it.
I would assume this new project ciphrd is dropping will be connected to his artist token and will be his first drop in this new fx(hash) ecosystem.
Some amazing WIPs of his work below with an accompanying video.
Presented on Art Blocks
Mints on Monday - 500 pieces in the set.

Cities is an amazing minimalistic project. To evoke so much with so little is impressive. It is such a playful take on aerial maps and cartography. I find it quite charming.
Cities is an exploration of how we view, experience, and recollect the vibrancy of the cities we visit and call home. Each cityscape provides a new terrain for the viewer to explore.
Cities draws upon various points of inspiration: From street-art murals and painted linework, to minimalistic and geometric modernism. Motion is elegantly captured through longer lines — these invoke visuals in the viewer’s mind akin to long-exposure urban photography. Layers of color raise questions and play into our perception of scale, depth, and time. Connections and subtle overlaps reflect the infinite stories, actions and reactions that make up our world. How does time seem to move faster in digital space, as in big cities like NYC?
Using the Bauhaus principle of gestalt, the art balances abstract lines with figurative elements. This contrast gives the viewer an “aha” moment as they connect the dots in their mind — even inserting themselves into each work, like the “YOU ARE HERE” markers we’ve all encountered so many times.
Within each city you'll find traces of Efdot’s iconic visual language. The Glyphs find their way onto street intersections, evoking a sense of action along with narrative mystery.
Efdot’s lifelong connection to New York led him to start drawing these abstract cities by hand, later joining forces with Diid to make this collection represent an “infinite city”. Accordingly, the color palettes are all drawn both from Efdot’s painted work & from colors we naturally encounter in the city.
