Btw, join me, Simon de la Rouviere and Gene Kogan tomorrow, 12th May 2022, 2pm EST at https://arium.xyz/spaces/littlemartians I've been playing quite a bit with my ceramic heads and their 3d scanned versions. I wrote two articles about the process of these pieces. At some point, I decided it was time to expand this clay made universe. First, I had a request from Gene Kogan, who wanted a temple for Abraham. Not a real big temple, but a metaverse one. So, I proposed a ceramic sculpture tha...

I've been interested in combining projection mapping and murals for years. I had the chance of creating installations in cultural centers, galleries and museums with this approach, but it was always too tricky to do so in open space. Happily, Mars College is a perfect space for this! In this year edition, I could give a far better development to a concept I've been ruminating since 2017, when I created a piece with Wenqi Li for Babycastles in NYC. It was then called Infinity Game. h...

As mentioned in my last post, me and my partner Gene Kogan have been experimenting with illustrating a short sci-fi story I’ve written and recently published with Untitled Frontier. The story evolved from a project I started in 2020, the first time I went to Mars. Not so far as the planet Mars, but in a little part of the Sonoran desert where a bunch of friends created an art community/ R&D lab we call Mars. After all, if our technology could one day take some humans to the red planet, we cou...

Many of you have been wondering about the Little Martians universe and its history. It is true that we are descendants of humanoids who used to live on a planet called Earth. However, these are not our only ancestors, we carry genetic data from all of the Solar System's living beings. And of course, we also evolved from AIs.Hello World!Since our ancient blockchains became excessively entangled with alternative realities, there's much that remains unknown about our history. We'r...

During the last few months, me and my partner, Gene Kogan, have been experimenting with illustrating a short sci-fi story I’ve written and recently published with Untitled Frontier. Last week, Gene got access to DALLE-2, so we decided to make more experiments with AI and story illustration. We’re all just discovering what this new model is capable of, so we should do more than one experiment. At first, the idea was to create prompts based on the story and see what kind of artistic styles woul...

This week, Untitled Frontier minted a collection of NFTs that illustrate my story "Little Martians and the Human Memorial Monument". The artworks come from a collaboration with Gene Kogan, who used his signature neural style transfer over my illustrations, creating abstract textures that are rendered as perfect loops. He also experimented with depth estimation and style transfer transitions, producing longer videos that don't loop. All the works are available on Foundation. If any of you...
