Sharing some insight, thoughts, and background behind my project "Nowhere Else".

All of us have dreams, and everyone would like to meet a fairy, a genie, a wizard, or someone else who will make our dreams come true in a snap of a finger or with the wave of a wand. But we're the only ones who can do it. We are those magical unicorns, unique, inimitable, with our own qualities and magical abilities. These unicorns are the visualization of our inner selves that makes our dreams come true. An embodiment of all the best with a huge positive magical power.

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.

A detailed write-up about my most recent fxhash piece 'Exotic Quarpets': from initial inspiration, to specific implementation details all the way to last minute wrestling with a browser compatibility bug.

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:

Four events in the summer of 2022 placed fxhash-based generative art in the spotlight, putting the relationship between the legacy art world and generative art community into focus. While large legacy art world institutions (Art Basel, Sotheby's, Christie's) have begun embracing on-chain generative art, the dealer sector remains skeptical. How can a bridge of appreciation be built between these worlds to ensure an inclusive future of creativity?
