01. News
dev.eth liquidation sale
It would appear that the market is back in action, as evidenced by the huge success of new projects on both the primary and secondary. Nothing signified the reinvigorated market for old projects quite like the auction-like sales of nearly the entirety of dev.eth's collection.

Garden, Monoliths #190
Much of the work went at very nice prices. Check out the history on some of these pieces and don't be afraid of putting out offers in the future; you never know what might be accepted!

Bright Moments - Venice Beach
fxhash is at its first official event in the US this weekend with Bright Moments. In addition to a gallery that has been curated by Tender, there is an exclusive live minting + plotting (!) experience for an amazing work by Piter Pasma.
For anyone interested in learning more about Piter, be sure to listen to our interview!
Impossible Dune is available on Foundation.
Which project of Piter's is your favorite on fxhash? We both think that Industrial Devolution takes the crown, followed by Hypergiraffe.
#28 shows the industrial coils we discuss on the show. Spiral notebook or cooling tubes, you decide :)

Industrial Devolution #28
Trinity thinks Monotau's Omega Point feels thematically similar to Industrial Devolution; each piece of both projects could be seen as a single snapshot of a larger place / organism. Will agrees, with the additional insight that this could be applied to PLANET ERROR as well.
1 / 16
Get to know @piterpasma in the first of our artist interview series ✨ In this teaser, Pasma discusses 'Industrial Devolution' - his new generative art collection being Live Minted today at 6 PM during the @brtmoments presents fx(hash) event! Full interview coming soon 🎙️
02. Projects of the Week
Rituals - Venice
Trinity cheated this week and picked an Art Blocks project from last year as one of her favorites this week.
If you haven't experienced Rituals - Venice before, take a listen to this variation with the 'heartbeat' trait. For more fun sound projects, check out Will's gallery 'Waiting_To_Be_Sound'.
September
Will minted a dark background that he unfortunately sold soon after mint.

Are there Anticyclone vibes to this project? Definitely praise of the highest degree.
Teaboswell has an impressive history of projects on fxhash. For those who haven't looked in awhile, we highly recommend you take a look down memory lane...
Enough Tyler content yet? Kenconsumer interviewed him on a recent episode of Arbitrarily Deterministic:

Lineage
Lineage matches the coding skills of twistie with the drawing style of Tim Maxwell. Much of the latter's work can be found on Objkt.
Tim's work non-fxhash work can be found on Objkt.
Twistie was prolific during beta, with Sunder: Hills being their most recent work on the platform.
If your piece is both interesting and not annoying, you might have a chance to get a hand drawn edition!
Although most variations of Lineage are fully penciled, there are some that embrace white space. Some may love it, some may not, it's up to you to decide.

Lineage #4
#37 and #38 are both good exhibits of Lineage folding into horizontal space, rather than the squared of 'hallway' approach that is common in the project.

Lineage #38
Both Will and Trinity are fond of #51 with its stand-out darkness and use of both horizontal and vertical intersections that lend to a moire pattern
owned bytz1KhTbYaY6yhXB...
Lineage #51
Trinity calls out Tim's code + drawing work on Versum as both interesting and affordable. Degenerative Visionary (or) Saturation Of Practically All Reason is so cool!
Ordinary Places
Willard is back at it with mid-century update to the mood and atmosphere of Southern Gothic.
“Ordinary Places” coming to fxhash Friday, Sept. 30 @ 1pm ET This thread will discuss my inspiration for the project, as well as details regarding the reserves and coding process. 10 people who retweet & drop their tez address will be randomly selected for the reserve list.🧵👇
WILLARD references two works of inspiration for Ordinary Places. You can read more about Twentysix Gasoline Stations by Edward Ruscha and Water Tower by Bernd & Hilla Becher here and here.
#48 displays some of the inherent risks with this style of art with layered elements; the barn, water tower, and gas station are all stacked on top of each other.

Ordinary Places #48
Will appreciates the simplicity inherent in #57 and #58, with simple horizons and cemeteries providing interest to the simple gas station motif.

Ordinary Places #57
'Section Cut' is a rare trait that gives a more detailed view of the water tower.
The skeleton in the ground isn't a feature at all, but a fun little easter egg.

Ordinary Places #238
Ordinary Places reminds Trinity of driving through rural Pennsylvania, with the tall gas station signs looming over the turnpike.
Elo
Elo is yet another stand-out project that represents a huge shift from the popular trees that gpitombo has released in the past. Between the variety of style there is something for everybody.
(ps - the floor on Morning Mist is pretty low if you were looking to pick it up)
(pps - be sure to check out both Bougainvillea projects to find the lower floor)
As a member of the clewcrew, Trinity has an obligation to point out (in a good way!) the cool vibes between Elo and #symmetriclew. Robin's Osminum evokes similar feelings, as well.
Crash Euphoria
The latest release from Chris McCully is an absolute fun one! Will minted #224 and totally gets Giant Steps vibes from the lines, shapes, and colors.

Trinity's take of Crash Euphoria is that of a psychedelic circus. The woven ones are fun, too.

Chris is also starting to livestream his coding sessions. Like & subscribe on Twitch to engage in the fun!
Do you guys uhhhh, potentially want a generative art live stream? I'm interested in making a piece that could maybe be minted on fxhash if anybody is interested in furthering this idea with me 😅

WootScoot's Twitter thread about being bummed by speculation on the daily projects. If anyone else has ideas, jump in :)
I've been thinking about the dailies. I'm noticing that most get bought up by bots, which is not what I wanted originally. Sure they sell, but I would love for people that like the art to buy it. So, I need some help thinking of a solution, thinking of something like a mint-pass

04. Looking Ahead
A ton of work that either came out right after recording (i.e., we will almost definitely talk about this next week), or more in a future TBD state. Either way, it's allllllll looking good.
Yazid released Ir/rational Beauty. Spoiler alert: Trinity got the one she wanted and Will found a great one on the secondary.
Phlins also released a new project on Friday:
How can anyone not be looking forward to The Fire Within? Yi-Wen LIN won our hearts in early beta with Threads and Circles, and the progression to this work is absolutely insane.
