CYMATIC, a groundbreaking exhibition at Paris Photo Fair, showcases the intersection of sound and visual art.​ Artist @zeitweitz transforms sound frequencies from the pentatonic scale into geometric patterns using the historic wet-plate collodion process.​

The project combines:

  • Traditional 19th-century photography methods
  • Sound wave visualization
  • Modern generative art by @O2HT

The exhibition runs through November 10 at booth F12, with physical pieces available on-site.​ A digital generative collection launches on fxhash November 12 at 5pm CET/11am EST.​

This collaboration bridges historical photographic techniques with contemporary code-based art.​

🏗️ Code-Built Cities

**Revolutionary 2.5D Art System** Artists are creating entire cities using only code and p5.js - no shortcuts, no pre-made assets. **Key Features:** - Custom-engineered system built from scratch - Massive scale with depth and generative variation - Every building, window, room, and figure drawn through code alone - Each output reveals different details upon closer inspection **Pure Code Architecture** This approach treats **code as material and architecture**. Nothing is narrated - everything is implied through the generative logic. The system demonstrates how programming can create complex urban environments where every window has potential to tell a unique story.

Open-Form Collecting: A New Paradigm in Generative Art

Open-Form Collecting: A New Paradigm in Generative Art

The $FXH protocol introduces open-form collecting, a revolutionary approach to generative art. Here's how it works: - Collectors actively participate in algorithmic evolution by locking seeds - Locked seeds create new possibilities for future collectors - Earn passive income through mint fees when others evolve from your locked seeds Key features: - Community-driven evolution of artworks - Traceable artistic lineages - Available actions: mint, re-roll, lock, evolve Artists can upgrade project code over time, allowing art to adapt and grow with the community. This solves traditional generative art's limitation of removing extraordinary possibilities to maintain average quality.
