The creative inspiration of Spanish-American artist Manuel Lariño has always come from the world around him. Lariño was born in La Coruña, Spain. He began his professional career at an early age as an illustrator, contributing to publishing organizations such as (Esquire) magazine, record labels, and Faber & Faber. He later shifted his focus to generative art.
The way he uses code is much like how he once drew with pencils and acrylic paint—designing algorithms inspired by natural patterns, environmental cycles, and shaping the rhythm of everyday life.

Someone asked me, “What year is it now? You’re still selling articles?”
I agree.
He said, “Just open any AI now, and it generates two thousand Chinese characters for you in five seconds. What’s so impressive about your articles?”
I thought about it for three seconds and answered him: Have you ever had that kind of instant coffee? When you pour it, there’s a ring of brown foam on top—but once you drink it, it stays quiet. No taste. It isn’t coffee. It’s a “coffee concept.”
Most AI-generated articles on the market are like instant coffee.
First, let me make it clear what this “Editorial Article Customization Workshop” is.

Welcome to the OpenSea news roundup, let's recap the week's most important NFT and web3 updates.
Art Basel fully embraces digital art
The world's largest annual art fair - Art Basel kicks off this week in Basel, fully embracing works based on screens, code generation, and AI creation.
A major highlight of the fair is 'Zero 10', an exhibition focused on digital art, located across from the main hall, making its Swiss debut after its initial launch last December in Miami.

Starting October 2025, I've added a chair to my daily OpenSea grind.
My desktop's lit up, tabs everywhere, bookmarks stuffed with all kinds of wallets. I’m just going through them one by one like it's routine. Traveling means being out of the loop, which means missing out on minting. Going out at night means I’ll have to catch up later.
That thing I just mentioned wrapped up.
Early access
OpenSea's mobile version is currently in the testing phase, and thanks to Paul Guerra, I got to experience it early. Huge shoutout for your trust and the invite code! I've spent a ton of time on OpenSea; this app is exactly what I've been dreaming of.

Andrea Chiampo is an Italian digital artist and designer, working across industrial design, entertainment concept art, and fine arts. Based in London, Chiampo is best known for his ongoing series 'FUTURED PAST,' where he uses advanced 3D digital sculpting techniques to create visuals reminiscent of ancient lithographs and archaeological relics. His creative scope has expanded to include physical prints, sterling silver sculptures, blockchain systems, and cryptographic performance art.
We sat down with Andrea Chiampo to chat about his upbringing in the artistic and historical scene of Spoleto, his transition from industrial design to concept art and fine arts, his ongoing project 'FUTURED PAST,' and the debut of MATER NATVRA at the Zero 10 Gallery during Art Basel Miami Beach.

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).

Up until today, your Normie on Ethereum has just been a 40×40 pixel avatar: a pixel-perfect identity etched on the chain, but static. From now on, the same token will transform into an agent—same art form, same wallet, same origin, but the NFT can think, remember, communicate, and take action on your behalf.
This is what we call a 'living NFT,' where the core concept is having a truly unique on-chain identity that has been frozen until now; ERC-8004 will unfreeze it.
