GM with some background on my new series on @exchgART
post-future-digital-alien-tapestry-core: a series of digital artworks inspired by woven tapestries, digital aesthetics, and fractal-esque repeating patterns found in math, science, and nature.
This series represents a search for Truth in the intersection of math, science, and nature. My fascination with this "Truth" began with a question that came to mind while observing a sunset over the Mississippi River in New Orleans: "What is the scientific explanation for why humans universally find sunsets so beautiful and enthralling?"
This question led me down a rabbit hole, searching for instances where art, beauty, and science coincide -- this search eventually led him to study Benoit Mandelbrot's writings on the fractal nature of geometry and Leonardo DaVinci's lifelong obsession with the intersection of science, physics, nature, art, and beauty.
Process: The textures in each work are created by crushing individual layers until repetitive patterns emerge as if unearthing them from below the surface of the screen. Well-known fractal shapes such as Sierpinski triangles are revealed through intentional degradation, sparking more curiosity about how and why these patterns emerge both in nature and in the computational crushing of a digital canvas. Textures are then woven together layer by layer, taking ingredients that both nature and machine provide and weaving them together with a human touch like a tapestry, creating an interplay between order and chaos that mirrors the natural world and the universe.
FALLEN ‘24
Still an appetite for quality projects out there. Collectors are just more discerning.
Platforms will struggle cus they need to consistently sell and make curatorial decisions accordingly. But crypto has always been a superior place to self release. @figure31 smashed it.
After two years of work, I’m proud to present DEL.

Surprise drop!! I couldn't resist being part of the fun around the controversial Monet performance by @SHL0MS
Love seeing @Jediwolf supporting and the movement around it on the feed, that's the exciting part of this side of the internet, here to disrupt, debate, create.
Here's my take on it, made with a painting I recently also put into "question", one of my physicals that's been shared here through the years. It's actually so fun to see the reactions. And don't feel bad if you were tricked, there's no right or wrong here.
The ones who know me know I'm not in favor or against AI, I'm intrigued by art not only being made by a tool but often also being about the tool itself.
"in my style" is an ode to that. A prompt I often write when using AI with my own trained agents, built from my physical and digital paintings. 1/1, that's it. Did I paint it or not? Available now, link below. Enjoy ;)
@paranoidhill@petcortright I’m obsessed. Thank you for putting me on.
What series is this from? Also is there a good place to view post 2019 works? (Navigating the website is gonna break my brain)
The other irony here is that @SHL0MS doing this is more of an artistic statement that almost any artist that commented has ever made in their life.
True art challenges norms, makes people think, and doesn’t care whether other people think it is art.
AI art is art because an artist says it is. Just like a urinal can become a sculpture. Or Andy Warhol can sign a 1 dollar bill he found and make it worth hundreds.
It doesn’t matter how the art was produced. What matters is the intention of the artist.
More ‘artists’ need to go study more art history.
i just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI
please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting
if you're an artist or creative wondering how to use agents to accelerate your work, or skeptical that they can: please stop what you are doing and look at the 6 examples in this thread
the line between artist and builder breaks down over the next few years. As coding becomes more accessible artists are able to build their own tools and build out worlds like never before.
First wave of mainstream NFTs was largely builders and marketers slapping “it’s about the art”. As an after thought - next wave is real artists being able to actually step into the role of builder and express their vision with virtually no limits like emotionull.
