Waiting To Be Signed

Just ahead of the US Holiday here we are happy to drop our interview episode with @HaiverArt talking all about @Artist_Commons, generative art, the business of art & more. This one is especially nice! spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/AMs2wCVXyYb

fxhash+ is honored to present: inkField For years, @IOivm has built systems that do more than generate images. They carry gesture, structure, and intention forward from one work to the next. A culmination of that trajectory, inkField is a series where painting shifts from image to action, and the act itself becomes part of what the work preserves.

We're back on the calendar. Next Tuesday. 3/10, 10am PT Also, it will be artist curated and randomly distributed... ...but I will be minting about 10% of the supply myself which will be available for trades in case you want to swap for one that you enjoy more.

@thisis0xbenj DMs open for candid thoughts! Thanks for listening as always

This is the most depressing wtbs episode I've listened to. Sign of the times I guess 🥲 Ps: Happy belated birthday to you both!

@DisruptedStar Thanks for the kind words & please share your points of disagreement if you like! DM open, discord, however you like.

@WaitingToSign Always great to hear from Will and Trinity — voices that truly matter in this space. They speak their minds with clarity and honesty. Of course, no one has to agree with every point they make… but they raise some very solid points... Thank you for all you've done for this space!

@thefunnyguysNFT @raster_art So you are making a new paradigm for crypto ux/ui ? It’s the big thing nobody seems to be working on because you can’t coin and rug it

Using the quiet time to solve some pretty hard problems holding the digital art space back Give us a few months and digital art collecting will truly be delightful on @raster_art

No one wants to hear it right now, but this is another reason to price art NFTs in USD. It does not make sense for artists to be paid 30% lower compared to last week for the same work. Once we flip gold and we've become the stable unit of account, then price in ETH or BTC. But what's even better long term is to let the buyer and seller choose their currency of choice independently and settle instantly at transaction time. If your main argument against this is the casino chip effect and you're afraid it'll lead to lower prices, then perhaps prices should be lower? I'd much rather people buy art they love at fair prices and hold for years than gamble for a quick flip in 2-3 months.

As a parent, nothing beats the feeling of throwing out a trash-tier toy that you know your kid isn’t going to miss

You can make a show for years talking about artists and projects you like that can be collected for <$100 but none of it comes close to being rich and spending publicly

@raster_art @thefunnyguysNFT @monkantony_tez hey just noticed that Raster is not indexing 'Constraint' from Eric Andwer on Verse. Looks like you have all their fx(hash) releases tho. verse.works/series/constra…

Here are a few test outputs from Rayincarnations — my upcoming #genart release on @fx_hash_ scheduled for January 28th. More details coming in the following days, stay tuned... ⚪️⚫️

I don't buy the current sentiment that there's "too much art" and not enough collectors. I agree wholeheartedly with the latter point - and every artist can bring attention to this space, but that is through the creation of good art. The idea that there's an ongoing flood of new generative art is incorrect. I think the actual fact is that the number of artists and projects is actually rapidly dwindling. Sure, in years past, a massive hype cycle occurred, and many thousands of generative artists flocked to the various platforms to release work. New artists came and added to the deluge of new content, much of which was good, and some, not so much. But those days are past, and many of those artists are sadly gone. Look at the numbers on FXHash: 28 new projects in the last 30 days Verse: 3-5 (given fuzzy boundaries around the definition of generative art) How about Artblocks Studio? 3 projects And Artblocks Curated? Closed. Highlight? TBH I can't even tell. I wish these numbers were much, much higher. Have we innovated enough? Are there no more ideas to pursue? I know that's not the case. It's just really fucking hard to have a sustainable career as an artist. I actually think we are still scratching the surface of code art. There are still many new doors to open, and it saddens me to see fewer participants here because it will take longer to achieve new paradigms. Platforms, if I miscounted, I will amend my numbers ;)

Definitely not enough collectors which has led to the decline of active artists on extreme lack of releases. most of the 28 projects on fxhash in the last month are not even worth noting... it's a strange issue that it feels like there is constantly nothing to collect (or what little there is now funnels through curated platforms are artificially restricted quantity to justify high prices and appeal to only the top $ collectors). Gone are the days of desirable art in the $20-100 price point.

Hi. I'm back in the studio. Come thru. kenconsumer.com

We need at least the choice of high quality failsafe solutions. Long time participants regularly lose it all, how can we expect normie participation. In the meantime *never* trust calls or take emails at face value & *never* put your seed phrase anywhere on a computer or online.

@0x3y3 @GaloAndStuff Yeah this is a job for someone with a trust fund

@GaloAndStuff If you are already wealthy then yes. Many of these institutional cultural jobs are occupied by monied educated people who want the status but don’t really need the salary

Can you live in NYC on 54k?

@dreamsh1ft @fx_hash_ The frenzy that inspired us to start the podcast!
