Tender/Verse - The Age of Self Indulgence by Alice Gordon

This one is surrealism in its truest form. The detail and positioning of subjects within the piece border on uncanny, and the colors used create subtle tones that betray an otherwise inhuman design. This one certainly does an effective job at highlighting the fight for attention in a social media driven world.

Magic Eden - STRATA by Alkan Avcıoğlu

STRATA’ mix of repetition and color create a collection that may give us a peak into a dystopian future. I’m enjoying that sheer variety this one provides in form and subject quite a bit.

DAILY - On These Streets by Andrea Ciulu

The sneak peek outputs look very trippy, in a “I want to start at this for hours” kind of way. In combination with black & white aesthetic, the outputs have a classic feel to them which is an interesting juxtaposition to how the AI model has transformed the visualizations.

Highlight / Fingerprints DAO - Metamorphosis I by Darien Brito

Geometric data visualization is one of my favorite sub-genres of generative art and this collection is no exception. It creates a highly interactive and colorful experience than can change to match several different inputs. If you’re a generative fan this is one to watch out for.

MoMA / Feral File - SOUND MACHINES by Holly Herndon & Matt Dryhurst, Yoko Ono, Deafbeef, and more

This is definitely one of the more unique exhibitions I’ve seen to date. Many of the collections have interactive components where collectors and the artist can collaborate to evolve the art. Love the creativity in this one.

gm.scribe - Memento Mori by Richard Nadler

Richard makes some of the most aesthetically pleasing art I’ve ever seen, merging bright colors with textures that make you feel you’re looking at a physical tapestry. To get a better sense of this just take a look at Yamabushi’s Horizons, a popular collection of his launched last year. With Memento Mori, Richard teams up with the folks at gmDAO and brings his talents to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Tender / Verse - URBN ARTFCT by 0009

This is one of the more grounded AI Photography collections I’ve seen - it combines the surreal aspects of technology with the notable pieces of 90s New York culture. Plenty of oversized fits and Nike logos to be found here.
