✨ This week on Fx(hash): Autofocus, an open form artwork exploring how an AI tries to become self-aware. With each evolution, the artwork becomes more clear, complex and coherent, and finally reaches "autofocus".

Thanks @illiquidesq for minting Origin 37 💫

Fun fact: 37 is the number most people mention when tasked with naming a random number between 0 and 100.

It’s King’s Day in Amsterdam! The whole city is orange. Throwback to 5 years ago when, in the midst of the pandemic, I took photos of King’s Day when it was celebrated in a completely empty city: www.flickr.com/gp/monokai/N... #koningsdag

Origin #27 💫, 10K render iterations at 4K.

monokai @monokai.com · Feb 27

Origin featured as the main image on the Art Blocks marketplace: https://www.artblocks.io/marketplace 💫

I've spent months learning and getting this algorithm down to only 16kB. Those 16kB are responsible for generating highly detailed images in any res.

So great to see all #genuary pieces this year. In 2024 I did a 31 day streak and made every piece a generative art system. For a whole month, I coded these in the dark early hours each day and a bit in the weekend. It was intense. All of them are here: www.fxhash.xyz/u/monobox

A Monobox is a tiny device with a slightly glitched screen. It displays a generative sketch based on the prompts of Genuary 2024 (https://genuary.art).

Origin #0 will be on exhibit on Thursday at #nftjapan and on Saturday at #ArtGoldenGAI in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. Courtesy of @artblocks_io

I've created a 4K version with 10K render iterations so you can enjoy it on a big screen if you're there.

Another Origin collected by cubeinasphere.eth. Fitting collector name, as the cells and crumbled outer layers in Origin are built up by placing random shapes like tetrahedrons and spheres inside each other and randomly transform them.
