Will gets a(nother) Contra!
Contrapuntos is like gold to the WTBS crew, and Will has finally traded into his second with a 3-1 deal.
Art Basel Miami
fxhash is at another art event next week, complete with the live minting of work by Ivona Tau, teaboswell, and duo DistCollective. Esteemed collector lemonde2d of 'The Museum' fame will be exhibiting work by a wide range of platform favorites, as well.
Zancan open (edition) season
For anyone who has been looking for an accessible entry-point into a Zancan 1/1/x project, look no further than Landscape with Carbon Capture, an open edition generative work that has been released as part of an exhibit with Verse Works. A 1/1 is also being auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Two other artists with fxhash releases, Pawel Grezelak and Phaust, are also represented and have editioned pieces for sale.
An aside on women in generative art
Let's face it, this topic is something that is always at the top of mind. No fun fancy images for this section.

02. Projects of the week
CSS Crystals
Will's favorite project of the week leverages the multi-colored gradients and use of light that just speaks to him, you know? It's still available for minting to any who are interested.

Sphereland
Trinity's favorite project was released two months ago and was 'rediscovered' by folks over in the Tender community. She loves the atmosphere surrounding the work and the nuance found in such simple geometric shapes.

Slumbers
Welcome to the Slumbers gallery portion of the article! Absolutely amazing work to anyone with eyeballs, and we're so glad to see long-time artist Volatile Moods see such a great run across all of their projects. Kudos abounds :)

fx(haish) / the Generator
This surpise fx(anniversary) follow-up goes in an entirely different direction to Enfantines - and has a bit of a twist. Collectors can connect their wallet to the fx(haish) AI model and input prompts alongside their piece to generate more fully rendered cityscapes. The Discord channel has been popping as people share their outputs.

WootScoot double feature
It has been a huge week for WootScoot as two of their projects took off and made our top five for the week.
Asterium is a living organism that grows with the user over time - the viewer can see the historical growth of the creature, but never peek into the future.
Sweeping almost wasn't released, shared as a sketch before the public (rightfully) demanded that it become an official fxhash project under the WootScoot Daily account.
