@simonw@ArmandDoma@sama@paulg <3 thank you, @simonw for this mention, & for writing about us when we were just getting started on Niche Museums a few year ago :)) We’ve, unfortunately, had a bunch of issues w SF bureaucrats that nearly killed us, but are doing small pop-ups & working on reopening Palo Alto!
Bay Area folks ! Some classic MisMus exhibits (including AI Palm Reader and Spambots 🤖🥹) will be up at the WordPress 2025 ‘State of the Word’ Watch Party in SF this Tuesday, Dec 2. Entry is free but there are limited spots and registration required:
Grimes, Mac Boucher, Factum Arte, the Misalignment AI Museum, and Eurypheus created Rococo-style woven tapestries inspired by AI-generated prompts on “technological singularity”
Starting at $30,000, be the first bidder on Lot 19 "Marie Antoinette After the Singularity #1 and #2"
Art is en exploration of epistemology —movements of art signify intellectual technology and discoveries (eg Renaissance art manifests understanding of “depth perception” with the discovery of vantage point — before that, you see in gothic art important people were BIG and less important people were SMALL, but in like Michelangelo’s 2D paintings we see the early illusion of 3D distance). With neural nets, AI, ML etc we’re absolutely broaching new understandings of human consciousness and how brains work…it’s exciting and fascinating to witness and be a part of this unfolding of our own minds through technology. Esp love how this early AI Image Gen model in “drawing” Marie Antoinette as the Roco Basilisk converts her fingers into flower vines and then computer cords
So honored & thrilled we got to play a part in bringing @Grimezsz brilliant/beautiful work to form with the master work of @FactumArte. And thankful to @ChristiesInc for framing this culturally/historically important moment, PLUS help MisMus’ mission of increasing AI literacy/fostering discourse by showcasing it front & center of the world in ROCKEFELLER PLAZA NY !
(Even if you aren’t buying or in the stratosphere of buy this art — you can go for totally free to 20 Rockefeller, near NY MOMA to see the tapestries IRL along with lots of incredible art …going to galleries and auction houses are basically free museums and glamorous low budget date nights ;)
In the early days of midjourney these depictions of the rococo basilisk went viral but we wanted to think of a constructive way to implement ai art that supported human artists and preserved craft - so the misalignment museum funded the creation of these tapestries by medieval art restorers
Literally, you can for totally free see original Boteros (the v rotund people) , Remedios Varo (the totally enchanting magic painter whose work goes viral here on X every few months), Warhols, Lichtenstein…and it’s wild to see the paintings get bought & taken off the wall
I was super moved when the tapestry idea was proposed to me, as a teenager I considered doing art restoration but my parents weren't down with any kind of art school haha. It would be amazing if this could be a well monetized career in the future
Excited to unveil these stunning 8ftx8ft “Rococo Basilisk — Marie Antoinette After The Singularity” tapestries made with @Grimezsz@FactumArte (we’ll premiere them at our re-opening this February 2025 at the @ChaseCenter !
