All things considered, it raises an important question: how can you efficiently discover the best upcoming art collections?

For the answer, look no further! I’ve scoured the metaverse to uncover the drops you simply can’t afford to overlook so you can focus on elevating your collection instead of endlessly scrolling through X and Discord.

🟪 Art from Code by @JosVromans

〰️ 📅 Date: Monday, December 23rd

〰️ 🚀 Launchpad: Art Blocks Studio

〰️ 🧮 Supply: 1 of 1 of TBD

〰️ 🎛️ Phase: Public

〰️ 💰 Price: 0.015 ETH

〰️ ℹ️ More Info: A demonstration of how art can emerge from code by drawing the actual source code on the screen as a starting point for a visual evolving artwork. Two visual themes become apparent during the animation: repetition and reflection. Repetition represents one of the most powerful concepts of computing: using iteration to get things done that are tedious without a computer. The reflections of shapes on the screen can be a metaphor for reflecting on the use of computers for art. The longer the animation continues, the more the font characters get obfuscated, until there is no trace left of the code.

〰️ ℹ️ More Info: “80s Pop Roxy” takes us to the end of the 80s and into the cinema, moving on from the arcade inspired 80s Pop. Roxy’s design is inspired by the mall cinema architecture which is itself trying to invoke Art Deco design, with “futuristic” chrome and neon added. With palettes ripped straight from the 80s (for better and for worse), we wave goodbye to the 80s before we hit the 90s, breaking us from the past as we step towards the next fun stage of Pop.

🟪 Coral Colors by @5putniko

〰️ 📅 Date: Week of December 23rd

〰️ 🚀 Launchpad: Art Blocks Studio

〰️ 🧮 Supply: 1 of 1 of 100

〰️ 🎛️ Phase: Public

〰️ 💰 Price: 0.1 ETH

〰️ ℹ️ More Info: This piece visually explores the majestic beauty of coral reefs and the environmental challenges they face. In recent years, these ecosystems have become increasingly threatened by coral bleaching, a phenomenon exacerbated by global warming. The artwork juxtaposes the vibrant colors of healthy corals against the stark whiteness of bleached corals, mirroring the current state of real-world reefs. This contrast not only highlights the aesthetic beauty, but it also underscores the urgency of the environmental issues they face. The work will be exhibited until January 9th at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology.
