    10 Artists Planning Open Form Releases on fx(hash)

    In this special 'call-in' episode of 'Waiting to be Signed,' host Will dives into the excitement surrounding fx(hash)'s new Open Form generative art platform and the launch of its token. This episode features 10 artists who generously took the time to record their response to three prompts: 1. Tell us about your project, what ideas/themes are you exploring here? 2. what was your experience like creating an Open Form project? How did you take into account the potential for large edition size? What about the generational/evolution aspect that is now enabled?, 3. How do you feel about releasing an $art coin as part of your project? What will your coin be called? Are you excited for this new system? Any big fears or concerns? Thanks to everyone that took the time to participate. Don't forget to claim your $fxh!!!! 00:18 - Intro & Gorilla Sun (@gorillasu).
