Welcome to the OpenSea news roundup, let’s recap the most significant NFT and web3 happenings this week.
Tyler Hobbs' (Fidenza) fifth anniversary
Generative artist Tyler Hobbs' influential collection of 999 digital artworks (Fidenza) celebrated its 5th anniversary on June 11.
Last fall, Hobbs told OpenSea that the reaction from collectors when he launched this series five years ago was "beyond my wildest dreams," and he noted that appreciation for the series has only grown since its debut on Art Blocks in 2021.
This series is widely regarded as instrumental in defining long-form generative art – a style that uses a single coding algorithm to generate hundreds of stunning and stylistically diverse pieces – and it has established itself as a legitimate collectible category. Hobbs created (Fidenza) using randomness and his signature "flow field" (curved paths that guide shapes across the canvas).
