@pkok -- A curatorial art house on @hypersub:
If you're on Farcaster, you've no doubt seen the curatorial arthouse PKOK (@pkok) highlighting artists and sharing works they've collected, both recently and from their vault. Launched by Sunny Sangwan, PKOK aims to bring unique stories woven through the fabric of art, celebrating the artists and connecting them in unique and meaningful ways.
"I want PKOK to be a bridge between artists, collectors and communities, believing that storytelling through art is very powerful to accomplish that," Sangwan said.
In addition to their Farcaster presence and curation, PKOK offers a Hypersub, with subscribers receiving 20 curated art pieces each month. It's a great way for new collectors to get started and for seasoned collectors to expand their discovery.

Minting on fx(hash):
Released in conjunction with a @galeriemet exhibition in Berlin, 'INTUIT' by Ukrainian generative artist Olga Fradina (@olgaf) examines automated drawing, which emerged as a tool for Surrealists to free the mind from rational control, allowing unconscious images to surface on paper. The artist reinterprets the process in the context of digital art by using generative algorithms to create unique and unpredictable forms that reflect "the flow of thoughts, their fragmentation, and their connection into a new, unexpected whole."

'Perseverance' by Blas.v:
One of the Finnish National Gallery's 'Combine24' generative art competition ten finalists, 'Perseverance' by Blas.v uses the point of view of someone in a not-so-distant parallel universe, watching as an imaginary software manager of the Finnish National Gallery CC0 archive constantly tries, fails, and restarts endlessly in an effort to properly display a painting/file. In the process of failure, the painted subjects find themselves transported to a new cyber world.
This one has to be seen live to be appreciated fully. 👇
Curate and showcase with VIEW <dot> ART:
Launched by Bright Moments, view.art is a simplified way to display onchain art using just a smartphone and a screen with a browser, giving you the ability to create your own digital art gallery anywhere.
Users are able to create a personalized channel, adding curated galleries/playlists that are shared with short, memorable URLs. (Note: In addition to wallet assets, users also now have the ability to manually add offchain assets including videos and photos.)
A feed (view.art/fluffsfeed) of a playlist a like to routinely update with new art, keeping it playing on my smart TV for friends and family to see when visiting. I've yet to not have it spark up a conversation about art. 👇
