fx(hash) undercurrents: BINGO, by rudxane
I originally published this article on Medium, December 14, 2021. During that time, the floor price was below 5 tez, so I released my spotlight on BINGO under the title "fx(hash) undercurrents". For today's BINGO first anniversary, I'm bringing this article "home" to fx(hash). I hope you enjoy reading it.
Ode to Contrapuntos, or Remembrance
Some artworks are still mysteries to me, and Contrapuntos is one of them. It was this piece that made me fall in love with generative art. It was this work that gave me this sparking moment when I came to understand not just intellectually, but at my very soul, how an artist's imagination, algorithms, and randomness play together in generative art to create beauty and meanings. And yet it turned out to be the most challenging piece to describe in writing. As I looked at it, thoughts and words vanished and a sense of joyful silence filled my mind. As much as I wanted to share it, I struggled to find the right words.
