@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.

*PKOK subscriber airdrop #9,"Obscured," recognizes the human head not merely as a vessel but a site of mystery, transformation, and ambiguity.*

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."

INTUIT

INTUIT explores the interaction between the subconscious and visual expression through the technique of automatic drawing-a process of creating images without conscious control or planning. Automatic

'bully' by riiiis | Sale opens Oct 30:

bully by riiiis | Verse

The nuns taught us there are two ways through life, the way of Nature and the way of Grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow. Grace doesn't try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries. Nature only wants to please itself.

'Shifting Ground' by Katie Morris, presented by Tender | Sale opens Nov 7:

Shifting Ground by Katie Morris | Verse

Shifting Ground* is a long-term project that explores the transient nature of identity, memory, and presence in a world increasingly mediated by data collection and usage. Using hand-picked Google Street View images from years-past as the source material, these works have undergone a series of distortions and reinterpretations that widen each environmental moment into vast hyper-colored topographies.

'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. 👇
