We thought hard about being a @moxie.eth Hero this week and how we'll celebrate that. Introducing Pkok Finterviews - Cast-form farcaster interviews, 20 questions to some of our favorite people. We aim to tell stories of phenomenal individuals shaping the art ecosystem on web3. It's also a great way for us and other heroes to get to know and engage with them. Oh! each interview starts with /degen love. But wait, there's more! These Finterviews are not restricted to only those we tag. If you'd like to participate, just respond to the questions and join the party, everybody is invited to be a part of these Finterviews. Tell us more about yourself, read other people's stories and hopefully we all get to know each other better by the end. Pkok Finterviews, a 🧵

Everyone is welcome to our Finterview. If you want to participate, let's start with this one... What does the term “masterpiece” mean to you?

A masterpiece is an old fashioned art term for a work completed by an artist at the top of their game. Or perhaps an artist who is now dead so suddenly ALL their works are deemed masterpieces to inflate their value... Is it possible for a living artist to produce a masterpiece? I am not sure. I reckon Damien Hirst thinks his Shark in Formaldehyde is one, or his Jewel Skull. Somehow I don't think Tracy Emin regards her tent as one. I think some of the definition of a "living masterpiece" rests on how big the artist's ego is. I reality I think a masterpiece is a piece of work that transcends its own time and resonates with future generations of viewers. May I suggest that any of Monet's Water Lilies could be considered masterpieces for this reason? How about Picasso's Guernica, Goya's The Third of May, Rothko's Black on Maroon? God, I sound like an art teacher...

... continued from the answer that is possibly below this. As well as noisedeck.app I dabble in P5 coding from time to time to create base images to drop into the software to further mutate and vary. I admit though to using AI software to help me write the code. I also enjoy the very visually destructive filters in GIMP to stress the imagery further if necessary. I find the fact that the computer does the work very satisfactory; I love to guide the process of creation in a way that is far more exciting than using pen and paper. And finally, I should thank and credit @jesshewitt with giving me a lifetime free licence on Noisedeck for, as she put it, "Data-bending it to places they never imagined."

It sounds like a fascinating process with layers and layers that go unseen behind the final product.
