Hello and welcome to The Culture Project. Hope everyone has been doing well. I’ve been pretty absent from social media over this last week. I’m still active in a few discord servers talking with artists and checking out new art. Harvey Rayner has some really cool stuff coming soon. I can’t wait to share a few of the projects he is currently working on. Shane Richardson just released a really cool project on bitcoin that we will check out. Then we have some of the usual suspects releasing awesome art on fx(hash). I don’t have a lot of time for the article today unfortunately. I’ll probably cover BIT L'ORDS a bit more as it’s a more complex project, but wanted to still include a few of the other great projects coming out this week.
Lets dive in.
BIT L'ORDS by Shane Richardson
Presented on Gamma
Ongoing Mint - 512 Packs - 8 pieces in each pack - 4,096 pieces in the series.
Price: 0.0014 BTC a Pack
This is a really cool project releasing on the Bitcoin blockchain. It involves minting an Art Pack and having the option to open it. You can either reveal the 8 pieces within the pack or you can keep it unopened. A lot of people from a huge range of ages know what it’s like to open a card pack to reveal cards. I did Garbage Pail Kids, Magic the Gathering, and Star Wars in the 90’s. There have been so many great card games since then. This gives that nostalgic feeling when waiting to see what you get and sort through your newly revealed set.
Collections are sold through "Packs". Artists curate collections with rarity grades of Common, Uncommon and Rare. In each pack, collectors receive those ARTifacts and a chance to pull Epic, Legendary, Mythic or Exotic ARTifacts as well
I really recommend reading this article about the project. It goes over the rarities and chances you get in each pack. This is the range of rarities that you can get.

For example the Golden Exotic pieces grants the wallet that discovers one guaranteed WL access for ALL upcoming Art Packs collection drops. It’s one of the rarest drops in the packs. An example below of one of the few minted Golden Exotics. It’s the bottom right piece from this pack.

Darkest Hour is just more beautiful abstract work by Qotonana. They are always releasing great work. I love the grainy textures and dark colors, it sets a great mood. I recommend checking them out in full screen to see all the little details.

Mints on Wednesday - Open Edition
Price: 4 Tezos
The description is fitting for this one. I kept doing one more refresh saying this is the last one a bunch of times. I really like the outputs from this. An aerial view of ancient structures or crazy rock formations. It has a nice variety.
Just one more page.
Biomes by RobScalera

Mints on Thursday - 128 pieces in the set.

Loved the story behind this one and it really changed the way I looked at it after reading it. This is another one that should really be seen in full screen. Adds a lot to the depth and details in each piece.
In the far reaches of the cosmos, where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur into an indistinguishable haze, there exists a planet of breathtaking beauty and terrifying complexity. It is a sentient biome, whose very existence defies the laws of nature as we understand them.
Here, the skies blaze with colors that shift and change as if they were living entities themselves, reflecting the chaotic yet harmonious energy of the planet below. Jagged and fierce mountains stand like guardians of ancient secrets, their peaks aflame with molten rivers that dance in shades of orange and gold, casting long shadows that seem to pulse with life.
In the valleys, forests of crystal trees stretch towards the heavens, their branches etched with patterns that shift like serpents in the depths of a dream. Their colors span a spectrum of green and yellow, glowing softly as if each tree harbors a soul. They whisper to each other in the wind, their secrets carried across the landscape like a melody forgotten and remembered in the same breath.
Creatures of light and shadow inhabit this world, their forms as fluid and ever-changing as the landscape itself. Some soar above on wings of pure energy, leaving trails of color that shimmer and dissolve into the air. Others burrow deep into the earth, their bodies glowing with the heat of the planet's core, their movements creating ripples that send shockwaves across the surface.
Yet amidst this kaleidoscope of chaos, there exists a strange and beautiful order. The biomes are interconnected, each one feeding into the next in a delicate balance of life and death, growth and decay.
In this world, the story of life is told not through words, but through the shifting patterns of the landscape, through the vibrant colors that flicker and pulse with the heartbeat of the planet. It is a tale of resilience, of adaptation, of life finding a way even in the most inhospitable of places.
As the stars twinkle in the dark expanse above, casting their cold light on this living, breathing world, the biomes continue to whisper their ancient tales to anyone who will listen. They tell of a planet where life is not merely sustained, but celebrated in a continuous cycle of creation and destruction — a reminder that in the vastness of the universe, life is a force that will always find a way.

Mints on Saturday - Open Edition
Price: 0.002 ETH (Base)
Cannot Wait has such a great painterly look to it. It really gives that feel and look of brush strokes on canvas.
The sun dips low, a golden hue,
As shadows stretch, the night peeks through.
Yet in my heart, a restless beat,
For something new I cannot meet.
I cannot wait for dawn’s first light,
For dreams to dance and take their flight.
The moon may rise, the stars may gleam,
But I am caught within a dream.
I cannot wait for love’s embrace,
For tender touch, for sweetened grace.
Each moment swells, the world stands still,
Yet I press on against my will.
I cannot wait for what’s unknown,
For paths untraveled, seeds unsown.
The future calls, a whispered fate,
And still, I find—I cannot wait.
