The Weekly Roundup #76
Looking at digital art projects and releases.
Hello and welcome to The Culture Project. Hope everyone is doing well! We have some really cool ongoing and upcoming projects to check out this week. The first project we are covering is an amazing AI project. The outputs blew me away and I ended up collecting one. I got pretty lucky this last week selling a few NFTs and the timing couldn’t have been better. We have some amazing generative art to check out at as well. One I’ve been waiting on for a while now and is a stunning landscape gen art project.
Lets dive in.

Ongoing Mint - 48 of 300 minted.

I’ve been following Roger’s work for a while now. He released a project on foundation called HAI 3.0 and I’ve been a fan ever since. Animal Instinct is quite different from HAI 3.0 as it was horror themed, but one thing they do share is the raw emotion that comes through in each output.
Some outputs from HAI 3.0. I’m hoping to collect one from this project some time in the future.
As I said the emotion in these outputs really shine through in every output. You can feel the happiness between the two on the left and the emotional embrace held in the output on the right. I liked these so much I ended up minting one and pulled the second one out of these two.
In 300 unique pieces, Roger Haus explores a diverse array of creatures, including insects, spiders, frogs, birds, bulls, dogs, and cats, each representing different facets of the wild nature inherent in AI. Rich, clever, densely textured, and utterly absorbing, "Animal Instinct" serves as a mirror of the evolution of generative tech. It offers a unique 1:10 chance to obtain a Special Trait. "Animal Instinct" is the genesis of the larger "HAI" series on the Shape network, Oct 2024.

Ongoing Mint - 59 out of 250 minted.
Price: 0.0150 ETH
Roll Some Bones is such a nice minimalist project. They really look like chalk drawing and it has such a simple feel to it yet it is executed so well. There is a great range to the outputs and I really enjoyed exploring it.
Roll Some Bones draws its title from the age-old phrase "roll the bones," a reference to the casting of dice in games; it alludes to the work’s playful exploration of chance and desire. The collection is a dance of human creativity and machine execution, where the artist and machine engage in a game of algorithmic chance. By manipulating a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), tweaking variables, embracing probability, and refreshing the page, the artist sets the stage for the machine to interpret the algorithm. The result is a rich interplay where each hash generated by code leads to hand-drawn, crayon-like textures blended with digitally native patterns and artifacts, celebrating the beauty of unpredictability in the creative process.

Mints on Friday - 100 pieces in the set.
Price: 3 Tezos
I’ve collected Uniray’s work in the past and always enjoy seeing new projects by them. I love the shading in these and how it all flows together. That with the color pairings all set a really nice mood.
"Imperial" is an abstract generative experimental work, a kind of color diffusion simulation in a liquid-style media. A motion of mixing refractive and partially fluorescent color substances or pigments. The final result sometimes may resembles to a marble texture, a decorative wall painting or a bit of celestial view or even underwater plants..

This is another artist I’ve been a long time collector of. Jeff has done some fantastic landscape gen art projects in the past. One of my favorites being Flowers & Sky.
Flowers and Sky #29
I’ve seen WIPs of Expedition for what seems like a few months now and am excited to see the outputs we get from it. This is just some incredibly beautiful art and at such a cheap price.
Let us celebrate the explorers among us, those who venture beyond the familiar and embrace the unknown. Through their journeys, we glimpse the infinite potential that surrounds us all.
