Our world becomes increasingly exposed as a dreamlike structure of billions of humans projecting their perceptions between each other through language and images. LLMs exposed this topic and put it in the spotlight.
The way we structure and communicate with a language is the way we build our inner reality. And what is this inner state and how is it captured or explored by artists of web3?
What does that mean, exactly?
Questions that kept mounting for me over the last couple of years, especially after the rise of publicly available AI, accelerated.
How do we go through our post-reality world? How do we navigate these landscapes of unclear realities?
What does it mean to have a human experience now while we are pushed toward a tremendous change in how we perceive our world?
In my curation for the Nordic Blockchain Conference 2023 in Copenhagen, I was diving to find clues, looking for pieces of art that would signal where we are as humans in these new landscapes.
What I encountered was fascinating and wondrous dream-like experiences across the range of very different artworks.
Did our world become a massive dream or a massive Cauchemar? I don’t know. We are at the beginning of this shift and artists are at the forefront fearlessly embracing this change and exploring to find an answer for us all.
I find it fascinating to watch that development in real time. My curation is a mix of traditional, digital, and heavy on AI art. And I hope it will give the viewer a glimpse of what awaits beyond the horizon and to find The Inspiration to embrace this change.
DVK the artist grew up with a passion for art, often immersed in creative endeavors from a young age. With a father who was both a traditional oil painter and an architect, DVK had a mentor by his side throughout his formative years. This influence led his to frequent exhibitions across Denmark.
Interestingly, DVK's two brothers also pursued art-related paths: one as a traditional painter and the other as an architect. However, DVK's inclination always veered towards the digital realm, with a particular fondness for working on the computer. Over the years, he mastered various software programs, ranging from the Adobe suite to 3D modeling and video editing tools.
This affinity for the digital medium steered DVK towards a career as a graphic designer. And while the profession provided a creative outlet, DVK always yearned to produce art that was truly personal, reflecting his own visions and intentions. With AI, that dream is now possible.
Irena Sophia began experimenting with AI on October 22, driven by the conceptual idea of crafting artwork centered on the theme of building blocks. She envisioned a black box that offered a glimpse into an alternate universe populated by bees. Sophia was intrigued by the possibility: What kind of world could she prompt AI to envision?
She had a particular fondness for hallucinations, as they aren't entirely intentional in their inception, but rather provide an unpredictable, open-ended output from the machine. She took immense pleasure in the process, always in search of the perfect images. To achieve this, she developed several custom models.
