*fxGems is curated by Haiver.* [*Follow on Twitter*](https://twitter.com/HaiverArt) *for recommendations,* [*sign up for email notifications*](https://fxgems.substack.com/) *when a new issue drops, and to support the work, collect a copy of this issue or* [*past issues*](https://www.fxhash.xyz/u/Haiver/articles)*, or consider minting one of* [*my generative pieces here on fx(hash)*](https://www.fxhash.xyz/u/Haiver)*.*

Each month I go one by one through all of the projects that dropped on fx(hash) to find the strongest, most compelling work — generative art that has a unique voice, a wide variety across its many mints, and an intriguing approach to algorithms and technique.

***

In the first three weeks of fx(hash), 1859 projects were uploaded, with some artists releasing as many as 8-12 projects apiece. And with its open submission model, fx(hash) has become, since its launch on Nov. 3, 2021, the single largest repository of generative art on the blockchain with 20,916 projects and over a million minted pieces in its first year alone.

Among those early projects are some of the most iconic works in fx(hash) history, which you'll find both below and in accompanying issues on [representational art](https://www.fxhash.xyz/article/fxgems-1%3A-nov.-2021-top-23-best-representational-projects) and the many honorable mentions from November 2021.

It's important to note that fxGems is not a ranked list. One part of good curation is putting pieces in conversation with one another, so each numbered mint featured here has been carefully selected, then ordered into groups of twos and threes to create a dialogue between the different projects. There are juxtapositions and echoes, recurring themes and visual motifs. A thread has been woven throughout. How it draws you from one project to the next is up to you to find.
