fxhash

To everyone, thanks for the amazing years. It seems that the fxhash platform has come to a close. The artwork, however, lives on.

The lack of communication around the wind-down is regrettable. To clarify and provide some closure:

The entire fxhash team was let go in February, except for the founder. Currently, there appears to be no attempt being made to close on the loan offered to the company (the loan was previously mentioned in a post by ciphrd).

Therefore, no current or future development is being planned. The website is now offline, and it is unclear whether it will come back.

To all the people who made fxhash possible: artists, collectors, team members, enthusiasts, supporters, partners...in short, EVERYONE who took part in the special happening that was fxhash...THANK YOU!

We shared so much together and had a truly wild code-based ride. Thankfully, @verse_works @lerandomart @objktcom are supporting the viewing & exchange of artworks published on fxhash. Mega props to them for staying true to the mission through difficult times.

And former fxhash front-end developer @maerzhase3000 has developed a framework for keeping fxhash artwork available without relying on fxhash infrastructure: whitehash.m3000.io

It's too bad things ended like this. But between the monumental trove of artwork that formed a unique creative movement and the friends we made along the way, some might say we lived it to the fullest.

The discord community is indeed still online and active if you're looking for a place to hang and talk about the good ol' days.

Whatever language surrounds the category, exceptional art is what continues to gather people over time

Aluan Wang’s inkField is a powerful reminder of how much artistic ground is still opening up here, especially as speed and automation threaten to flatten the human trace

MAJOR NEWS / GENERATIVE ART

Garden, Monoliths #91 has been acquired by @PompousLL for $6,170

(Paper:Pink) remains one of the series’ most coveted traits. Zancan’s 2021 fxhash debut turned code into digital overgrowth, shaped by nature’s uneven logic

People are already drawing through @IOivm’s inkField and sharing the results.

That matters because the system holds up once it leaves the artist’s hand.

Aluan Wang built it to be used.

Today, inkField becomes something you can enter.

Aluan Wang has opened the system on his website, inviting others to draw through it for themselves.

Here, the final variable is the hand. Built alongside @claudeai, inkField holds onto hesitation, pause, and the singular movement of a person making a mark through space.

Anything you create belongs fully to you, with copyright cleared for exhibition or distribution.

We’re very curious to see what opens up once others begin moving through it. Leave your trace.
