FxText has just launched the latest contract upgrade which has enabled marketplace features for ARTKLs. This is a free mint for all to enjoy.

I remember the first weekend of fx(hash). The funny thing is that I don't need to tell you the story. I documented the whole thing on twitter. Enjoy all the naivety:

My view on where we are now and where we are going with the gen art movement...

Breeding Grounds is inspired by the assumption that both the brain and the cosmic web are very similar in structural design. This can also be found in many other subsystems of the universe, such as Social Networks or molecular clouds. Thereby either biological or physical factors play a role and influence these systems in a certain way which leads to these similarities. Breeding Grounds should not be another fractal algorithm, but more an abstract idea of the topic. Especially since a distinction must be made between fractal systems (self-similar) and those described above (not self-similar). Fractal systems are an important component of the universe, therefore I didn't want to leave them unmentioned at least in a lyrical way.

Defining and implementing abstractions is more practice than elaboration. Interfaces built through formal languages are shaped by a shared praxis whose consensual lessons are established as standards. The use of such normalised means to create art pieces is hence an intuitive deviation: tools fashioned as means to an end are often used for purposes that appear to be the exact opposite of their raison d’être. Recent technosocial developments have enabled the tentative burgeoning of an economy nurturing these deviant applications. A new wave of the so-called “generative art” milieu is attempting to mobilise both factors of production, capital and labour, to augment the manufacturing of such algorithms. While the nature of each factor is apparently unremarkable, their intersection in this space does yield an idiomatic result. Humans and tools which are engaged in this practice, because they are incentivized to systematically share the outputs of their research, participate in the transformation of both factors and, as such, in their own. The generative art milieu is building an attempt to seize the means of generation.

Recently, Amy Castor on Artnet released an article highly critical of NFTs, "The Boom and the Bust: How NFTs Went the Way of Beanie Babies". Let's break it down, paragraph by paragraph.

The copy/steal quote has been attributed to a lot of notable folks, probably because they stole it from someone else, but the sentiment is always the same: if you take something... make something novel with it; a copy is boring. CC0 helps this to be possible, without fear of overstepping bounds, and hopefully, furthering the state of the art by reducing friction.
