summerween: glitch songs of the summer part 2

Continuation of the summerween saga - original post here: https://paragraph.com/@empresstrash/summerween-glitch-songs-of-the-summer?referrer=0x8469B7b08D30C63fEA3a248a198dE9D634B63d70 Previous episode of my AI music creation saga TL;DR: I have a concept album I made over the summer exploring grief using AI to create the music. I went to release it on SoundCloud and they rejected it, which made me super upset. I only had it released on Zora and Audius. NOW though, an online friend of mine poin...

Super Elite Squad Hypersub ~revamped~ 2025 edition

Rebooting Elitism Let’s get real—2024 was a lot. Between health issues, election stress, world chaos, and career burnout, I hit the pause button on a few things, including Hypersub. Turns out even Empresses need a break from being elite sometimes. But after some much-needed recovery, deep self-reflection, physical therapy, and a reassessing what brings me joy, I’m back. And so is Hypersub, recharged and refined for 2025.Super Elite Squad: Proof You’re Better Than Everyone Else 💎Super Elite Sq..

Salon de l’Empress #1

Alright, art lovers, it’s time. Welcome to the new format for my paragraph newsletter: Salon de l’Empress, where I dive into all things art—whether it’s on the blockchain, in the streets of Mexico City, or hanging in a gallery somewhere unexpected. As a lifelong artist, internationally exhibited and living and breathing art every single day, I want to share my love for it with everyone. This isn’t just about crypto art or my own work (though that will definitely be a focus)—it’s about celebra...

Exquisite Corpse

The surrealists called it "cadavre exquis"—a collaborative artistic game where multiple artists would create a work together without seeing each other’s contributions until the piece was complete. Each participant would draw or write on a section of paper, fold it to conceal their part, and pass it along, leaving only a hint for the next creator to continue. The result was a composition that was unexpected, fragmented, yet strangely cohesive—a discovery of meaning in chance and connection. It...

Damsels: Part Deux

As of right now, I'm minting 152 damsels to complete the 333 on ethereum / base as I intended when I set out with this collection in 2021. You can read my previous writing about the collection here: https://paragraph.com/@empresstrash/the-birth-of-damsels-1 The below writing is in part art statement to announce the completion of this portion of the collection and partly to log the historical context I feel this collection lays itself into. Thank you everyone who has supported me on this journ...

THE BIRTH OF DAMSELS

Originally written in July 2023 for a virtual gallery build on Oncyber with the Line project showcasing Damsels. Copied unedited for posterity. As an artist, I’ve always been fascinated by the human form, and it has been a consistent theme of mine through my trad art and crypto art career. Before Damsels the series, there were a lot of PROTO DAMSELS with my first works on OpenSea in Spring 2021, which I digitized, then glitched out of them. I’m still really proud of this series because it was...

on censorship x my art

Today, I received a dmca notice on my livestream (dreamweirdodanceclub.live) from Kick for a video on demand, which I never asked to be saved in the first place. I reached out to them to express my upset at this stating since I can't turn off the auto-save this fundamentally violates my consent because my livestream is intended to be just that a live performance, and now I get punished for something I didn't opt into? This incident is right on the heels of soundcloud refusing to distribute my...

#summerween: glitch songs of the summer

Hello everyone, it's Empress Trash, sharing some thoughts on my new project: #summerweenI've created this album completely in SunoAI. It's a collection of glitch-noise electronic tracks that dive into the ongoing mourning and rage from the constant violence around us in the world. This album overall explores how that violence breaks apart our identities as the grind persists leaving parts of ourselves behind. Using AI felt essential here. I often see it as a symbol of the biased systems that ...

I worked with Grok on a new artist bio all day today by having it research and research some more to find everything it could to put together a comprehensive artist bio. This was a process, but not as painful as it usually is without ai which it would have taken me weeks to do this update probably instead of one stoned saturday night. It also has given me the idea to create an AI lore bot that continually collects what I have done to keep information current for me and anyone interested to kn...
