"Andrómeda" by Vidal Herrera (x/10 | 15 xtz)

A wonderful new project by @robscalera is currently available on (fx)hash. The release - 'where awe fades' - "journeys through the internal landscapes of a mind no longer capable of surprise". Filled with intricate, swirling patterns, the images reflect a chaotic beauty and impassioned vibrancy.

Invoking a captivating interplay between light and shadow, digital artist Wojac's recently-released 100-piece collection, "Sandman's Apprentice", is sure to capture the imagination.

The series is built on a process the artist developed called the "5-Layer Method", which begins with unconscious mark-making and evolves through layers of color, light, texture, and analog gestures. This process ensures consistency throughout the series while providing a solid foundation from which the artist intentionally explores the boundaries of speed and depth, all while embracing moments of discovery and serendipity, according to LoneWick's Artletter, which covered the release in detail.

Pieces in the series are available via offer on Objkt.

distraKted by Mark Webster | Verse

A written language is a complex tissage of signs and symbols. A conventional system of coherent patterns with which one seeks to express meaningful actions, ideas, thoughts and feelings. What happens though when one loses the capacity to decipher these visual constructs?* *My present experience of text has become increasingly fragmentary.

Meet Angelike Kollin, a self-taught fine art and documentary photographer currently based in Tampa, Florida. 👇

Meet Angelika Kollin @angelikakollin We had the honor of chatting 1/1 with Angelika on @farhouse this Tuesday and we think the whole world should know her through her life story and art in the Pkok Collection. Angelika is a self-taught fine art and documentary photographer currently based in Tampa, Florida. Her work is driven by a lifelong desire to comprehend and gain insight into human loneliness and suffering, as well as to study the role of faith in overcoming these challenges. Angelika's passion in photography and art derives from a desire to delve into the complexities of inter-human connections and the deeper meaning of human existence. In her photography, she strives for a straight and honest portrayal, while also incorporating personal thoughts and grace. Angelika is known primarily for her portraiture and documentary-style photography, and she derives tremendous satisfaction from working on personal, long-term photographic projects that allow for in-depth investigation of her topics of interest. https://supercast.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmSR3jEebYfF1XdZtfDgzg97JQZBJB4s1Ue38pr8EF8z9y?filename=image.png

1/6 gm. The Age of Indiscernibility is nearly upon us—a time when distinguishing AI creations from reality becomes impossible. This shift will profoundly reshape society in ways few fully grasp. Many are underestimating the pivotal role early on-chain photography will play in this new paradigm. https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/cbd43afc-8bb1-4aa4-19d5-9221065dd100/original
