Fx(hash) Generative Art Minting at Art Basel Hong Kong

In May, fxhash launched its first live minting event, Art Basel Hong Kong. The event was also one of the first public generative art minting experiences to engage the broader community as well as the traditional art world. With some of the top artists minting on fxhash at the time, the event was an earnest attempt to demonstrate the delights of minting a random work of generative art.

This author, Peter Bauman, went to the event in person and wrote this related piece shortly after on fxtext.
