Measure of a Life
The February addition of my six months long sales and marketing experiment is open for minting. It will be reserved, free of charge, for previous collectors of my work for the next week. Unsold editions will then be offered for sale during the following week. At the end of that week, any unsold editions will be burned. This is the backstory of the project.
First Params - What I've Learned
I have completed my first fx(params) project. A simple statement that obscures so much: excited anticipation prior to launch, cross-eyed bewilderment once it rolled out and the apparent complexity of implementing it knocked me for a loop, and my eventual satisfied success. While the experience is fresh, I will share a bit of my journey with you in the hope that it helps you in yours.
Becoming an fx(hash) Generative Artist
New artists to the fx(hash) generative art platform come with diverse strengths in art, coding, crypto currency security, and the social media marketing skills and knowledge of copyright issues that are all needed to be a successful NFT artist. Before an artist releases their first token on the fx(hash) platform, there are a number of setups steps that can make the journey easier. I briefly cover many of the preliminary steps and resources that can make it faster for you to successfully mint a generative token on fx(hash).

Littlecube Island Maps: Development Techniques
This is a follow-up article to Littlecube Island Maps: Development Overview. In this article, we will discuss the techniques that the project uses in order to procedurally generate the voxel-based island maps.
# MAHSA AMINI
Women of Iran, as I started writing the first edition of this article on Sept. 26, have been fighting and protesting in hundreds cities in Iran and around the world for days for their rights for freedom after 'Mahsa Amini' , An innocent 22 year-old woman, brutally was killed by morality Police in Tehran on Sept. 13, 2022, a week before her birthday. *100% mint and secondary sale of this article will be donated for these brave women.
A day on the West Bank
My next generative piece will offer very common sights from the West Bank and remind us of the harsh reality of life under military occupation.

The (Future) News Report #1.5
The newspaper for those who want their news before it happens. You heard it here first is our tagline, and we've made it our mission to report on news that will happen, one day. DYOR research and everything contained within is verified for not having occurred, yet.
FxText Contract Upgrade & Listing Enabled
FxText has just launched the latest contract upgrade which has enabled marketplace features for ARTKLs. This is a free mint for all to enjoy.

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 dβΓͺtre. Recent technosocial developments have enabled the tentative burgeoning of an economy nurturing these deviant applications. A new wave of the so-called βgenerative artβ 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.

Full text of the manifesto of *the seed* drafted by Aether Cavendish (aka Aether Dada). This manifesto is minted as a companion piece to the eponymous visual poetry artwork created by Ariel Malka and minted by *the seed* on Teia/Objkt on this day, on the occasion of the zine reaching 500 followers on Twitter.
The Artificial Intelligence Reads a Story, AI
Tairasai, the Artificial Intelligence, presents an online (fx(text), fx(hash)) performance artwork, in which the AI asks if flies pollinate Arctic buttercups, and whether Frankie and Annie really want to go home.
