1/ There's always something going on on #fxhash, and here is a quick list of the exciting projects I've noticed recently:
🧵👇
2/ "Life through the city" by @10denzy is inspired by the artist's former profession as a construction worker and creates urban silhouettes in a charming retro style.
3/ The artist also wrote an introductory fxtext article about the project that is accessible from the project's description - that's a cool use of the platform, I think, and it might be one of its bigger use cases in the future.
4/ "NEW TERRITORIES" by @chuckume and @davidumemoto is an impressive translation of David Umemoto's architectural concrete sculptures into a generative artwork.
The complex buildings look awesome and are explorable in real-time!
5/ The level of detail of the structures is really intriguing, as there are big buidlings with balconys, small buildings, plazas with sculptures, and much more, and there is atmospheric dynamic lighting.
7/ Despite bursts of colour and lively splashes, the images feel grounded and balanced, in parts due to a desaturated midtone that nearly all iterations use.
This gives the piece a restrained, floral beauty that somehow made me think of Victorian times.
9/ The project feels a bit like an evolution of Daniel's "Transparency of Crystals" that he minted on @PolyBlocks ages ago, and I already loved that one.
10/ "Under a New Sky" by @Mikkel_Hartmann is a worthy addition to the artist's ongoing "Rise and Fall" series of generative tokens that chronicle the rise and fall of a spacefaring civilisation.
11/ The monochromatic, minimal, and sketchy images in subdued shades stay true to their predecessors and manage to transport the same feeling of lonliness with the barren, blasted alien landscapes they show.
13/ The way @rhaegar_nft composed layers, perspective, and distribution of the trees silhouettes on the softly rolling, grassy ground in these images is nothing but amazing!
16/ "____ - Iteration 2" from @landlinesart1's alternate account "Extracurricular Activities" reminds me of the artist's "Negative Space" and @thomasp85's "Screens", while the colours let me think of @kgolid's work.
17/ The output of this project is beautifully complex and jagged in just the right places, and, despite the connotations with other pieces, feels unique and masterful.
I really love it and am looking forward to the final output on the main account.
23/ The seemingly monotonous landscapes are actually pretty interesting, thanks to details like fog at the base of the columns, rainbows, a wide variety of palettes, and the composition that uses panels to group multiple views of the same scenery.
26/ "Un bouquet pour Papa" by @0xm4tt1a is a personal piece of art and dedicated to his late father, who died from Covid, and who, as a painter, has had a lasting influence on the artists.
28/ @0xm4tt1a is also featured at #graphicdays2022 in Turin at the moment with his previous "Human Nonsense Filter", so I say congrats to you, my friend!👏💐
1/ The platform @meraki_gen_art on Polygon is not often in focus, although it hosts some beautiful generative artworks.
I've stumbled upon "Nervous Shapes" by @VernisArtStudio there, and I really like it!

2/ The bright, jittering geometrical shapes are representations of our struggles with an increasingly accelerating everyday life.
Some of the iterations show an intrinsic orientation of the pieces that seems to provide some basic guidance.

3/ The increasing dynamics and speed in our lives wouldn't be possible without modern technology, so the fact that "Nervous Shapes" is released as an NFT (which is still by most considered to be bleeding edge technology) can be seen as quite ironic.
