Behind The Screen with Gramajo NFT Survival Guide: Thriving in Art Blocks, Tezos, and Beyond with Abnormality
Episode 4: Gramajo (@0xGramajo) is joined by Abnormality (@joshripple). The project owner for The Culture Project(@TheCulture_Art). Abnormality is a community creator who thrives in the vibrant realm of Web3. Their presence is most prominent on the Culture Project platform, where they frequently share their artwork and the articles they pen, offering glimpses into their explorations and perspectives. The Monsters Discord stands as a virtual sanctuary to them, a place they consider a second home and where their activity flips between active participation and silent observation.
Abnormality adopts the role of an observer across many digital landscapes, a habitué who is more inclined to silently explore rather than directly interact. Their journey often takes them into niche corners of the internet like Aperture MP and Rezva's discord, where their influence is subtle yet significant.
In the intricate and dynamic arenas of FX hash and ArtBlocks, Abnormality engages in what they describe as "hardcore lurking." There, they survey the latest creations and trends, tirelessly seeking pieces of art that may have slipped past the watchful eyes of the greater community. Their story is one of quiet immersion in the ever-evolving world of digital art and culture, where they remain an unseen yet integral part of the conversation.
