Bread is profound, it is intimate, it is spiritual and it is our living wage. As our lives move onchain we are likely heading towards a hyper-market future where every loaf - and every ingredient in that loaf - has a token attached.
Breaking bread together is a deeply relational act. One that is difficult to reproduce through a digital connection, this project/piece is an attempt to do so.
Through a couple of experimental workshops with CoLaborators I have come to the conclusion that it is through sharing moments of our lives that we come close to the intimacy of breaking bread together.
The project is the experience of connecting and sharing, represented (tokenised) by the creation of an art piece that shares moments. Based on this recipe:CoCreated recipe for Digital Bread:
Bring a picture that you or someone close to you took of bread.Find someone to talk to about your bread (they will be provided in the workshop conversation).Share a moment from your life connected to your bread picture. It can be mundane or deeply meaningful, all that matters is that it is truthful (examples below).Hear what they connected with.Listen to their bread story.Tell them something that they said that you connected to in some way.(Optional) share on Farcaster.

Today is Wednesday, which meaaans… It's WIP Wednesday! Reply or quote-cast with an image, GIF, or video of your WIP (work-in-progress) art and give a little bit of the background/concept/vision of the piece. Or ignore these guidelines and share your WIP in any way you like, idc, I’m not an art cop.
WIP for "Aurora Infinitum III," my seasonal edition for the upcoming equinox. This is one of the preliminary AI gens; for my recent seasonal editions I make multiple img2img gens from a fractal art piece and slice/dice/layer the gens I like best, layered along with the original fractal art render itself.
My new favorite degen tipping gif is always a work in progress now 😂 😂 😂
Yesss, this is a fun one. And I just thought you liked making new variations of it, haha. 1298 $DEGEN
hahahaha, indeed =)
Love it!
Becasue my work is CoCreated it spends most of it's time 'in progress' but my current project - Our Daily Bread - more so than most. https://paragraph.xyz/@cocreated/our-daily-bread Image/text is also wip output
Ooo, this is such a great concept. And bread is very much co-created since it doesn't just require human cooperation, but microbial cooperation, too. 1298 $DEGEN
Thanks Mx! Hadn’t thought of the microbial perspective
Love 1000 $degen
lol 👏👏👏 I’m not working on a lot right now. I’m such a slow minter 😂 here’s one I may edit and or do something with to mint. Or maybe not. I don’t know yet.
Hah, I know how that goes. And I really like where this one is going. 1298 $DEGEN
Thank you 🥰
Love 1000 $degen
Thank you 🥰🥰
I’m still putting together my final selection for a new collection/series which will be mountain/snow themed. ‘Ski Bum’ will have the extra utility of me organizing a tailored trip for the collector to the Alps and me as a snowboardteacher…
Oh, this is so cool, and I love how you tied in utility to the concept of the collection. 1298 $DEGEN
Thanks so much. It’s an experiment and we’ll see what happens but I figured I might as well give it a go. Probably dropping next week…
Current WIP 🚧
Nice! The melding of text+graphics reminds me of street art. 1298 $DEGEN
Are screenshot from editing In capture one is okay?) so it’s part of my floral collection on sol. I’m exploring world of dreams and my feelings via speaking by flowers✨ This work for me feels bloody, about my feelings during the war in my home Ukraine
Of course screenshots from your workspace are OK for WIPs! And you're definitely getting the somber mood across. 🫂 1298 $DEGEN
thanks Void ✨
Need to fix the color just a little bit still but I have a few of these double glitched scanographs made from my neighbors flowers that grow wild during the summer.. I’ll be making a collection out of them soon..
Mmm, glitch-tastic. 1298 $DEGEN

Bread making is a cool thing. My son can make bread now & he is just three. It was intimidating at first but now I am so glad I do it
That’s awesome! What do you get from doing it?
Idk. Joy is the word. Good foods too. It feels amazing
