On Wednesday, October 30th, Fakewhale proudly presents “Flowing Through Form”, a Fakewhale Solo Series release by 0009, going live on objkt.com at 4 pm CET / 10 am ET.

"Flowing Through Form" reinterprets industrial icons as conduits of dynamic motion, where the rigid structures of trains dissolve into fluid streams, highlighting the potential for flexibility and creativity even within the confines of structured environments.

The release consists of three pieces, with the following dynamics:

Shifting - 10/10 - 100 xtz
Changing - 15/15 - 69 xtz
Evolving - 25/25 - 42 xtz

FW STUDIO | GENERATIVE ITEMS

Last week, Fakewhale Studio unveiled its first book, "GENERATIVE ITEMS," showcasing collaborations with 15 outstanding artists. Each artist contributed 5–6 photographs from their personal portfolios, which were then processed by an algorithm designed to generate outputs inspired by their original visual styles. Published in partnership with PRNTD, the book was launched in Lugano, Switzerland, at Valuart’s gallery during an exclusive event.

This even also coincided with the release of the official website, which you can now follow to keep up with the next projects.
