Fakewhale Newsletter Issue #2

Hello,

We're back with the latest insights and updates from the world of digital and contemporary art. This issue of the Fakewhale Newsletter brings you curated highlights, exclusive gallery news, and a glimpse of what's ahead in the Fakewhale ecosystem. Let's get started!

FW GALLERY | FAKEWHALE SOLO SERIES

Last week Fakewhale presented Lorna Mills’ Fakewhale Solos series “Ministers Baby pt. 3”

“Ministers Baby” originally began as a response to pressing societal issues, with its inception marked by a piece created for Refraction Miami 2023. Mills had initially discovered the inspiration for this series years earlier in the form of a GIF — a GIF remained contextless until the significant societal shift brought about by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which provided the impetus for its thematic focus.

The single 1/1 piece of the series, “Ministers Baby pt.3” — currently listed at 5,000 xtz on objkt.com — captures a woman articulating a word in Sign Language within a meticulously crafted GIF that loops through 20 frames at a resolution of 1080×1080 — each iteration of the loop prompting a deeper understanding and reevaluation of the sign, emphasizing the fluidity and layered meanings inherent in non-verbal communication.
