Emergence to Reflection
Over the last ten years I have explored artificial creativity with a number of collections focusing on how well a robot could imagine and paint. Many have asked about the various collections relationship to one another. Here is a brief synopsis that goes from Emerging Faces to Reflection…
2017 - Emerging Faces - 44 Paintings
44 Paintings / 6 Digital Tokens / 1 Fully On-Chain Token
Robot was given 2 instructions. 1) Imagine a face with GANs 2) Paint what you are imagining until you recognize a face. 44 Canvases of varying sizes were painted over a two week period. Project would go on to win Robot Art 2018 and be accepted into LACMAs permanent collection. 7 Digital Tokens exist of this work.
2018 - First Sparks - 128 Robotic Prints
128 Robotic Prints / 128 Digital Tokens
The Conference Views in New York City commissioned 128 robotic prints based on Emerging Faces. The 128 robotic prints were then given away at Views to the VIP guestlist. They were also recorded as a hash on the Bitcoin Blockchain and later released as tokens on SuperRare.
2023 - AI Imagined Faces - 150 Paintings
150 paintings / 100 Fully On-Chain Digital Tokens
150 Paintings were created for Bright Moments Tokyo. In addition to the painted canvases, 100 digital 100% on-chain pieces were distributed as part of Bright Moments on-site mint.
2024 - Reflections - 9 Paintings
9 Paintings / 999 Fully On-Chain Tokens
9 Canvases were painted using Reflective Agentic AI for NFT Paris and from the 9 original portraits, 999 Reflections were inscribed 100% on-chain and made available as tokens.
Am not sure what the future holds for the series, but always have it in mind.
