Art on Contract: A Conversation with A.G.
A conversation with designer and artist behind the TITLES protocol contract art, Andreas GysinA few months ago during the development of the our next protocol, we set out to commission a series of artworks that could bring to life the ideas coded into the new protocol that would be displayed and distributed via the protocol itself. After some research, we found out about Andreas Gysin’s practice and worked with him on a series of ASCII works. Few creatives seamlessly blend the art of typograp...

INTRODUCING TITLES
It’s 2016, I was working on my first startup and traveling around Oregon taking drone photos. I started to see many of my photos pop up across the web without mentioning me. The excitement eroded and in its place came frustration looking for credit, attribution, or pay. Shortly after, I started to learn about a network of media startups like Mediachain, Po.et, and Ujo leveraging Ethereum to build a more equitable media ecosystem. Little did we know that the core of these projects was a simple...

TITLES & Lucky The Golden Goose
How my dad’s 1999 children’s book led to the future of creator-owned AI modelsAs an entrepreneur and someone building in consumer technology, I’m realizing that much of what you bring into the world is rooted in the ideas that were instilled in you as a kid. Each of us is led into the world by our parents who open doors for us with a slight push of encouragement, watching to see how far we walk in. Looking back, it’s clear now that my love for creativity, storytelling, and finance can be attr...

What if a community owned a unique 1-of-1 AI image model? And what if that model made $ for it's owners whenever it was used? What would we make and how would it be used? Introducing a new experiment in collective artificial intelligence ownership we're calling MODEL-WIP.
Just a few weeks ago, my team worked with our friends at Zora to train and create a custom Zorb model. That model was used to create over 60 collections using SOURCE and generated over .8 ETH in earnings back for Zora. It got me thinking...

What if we ran a crowdfund to create and collectively own a unique 1-of-1 image generation model? We're bringing that idea to life and it’s called MODEL-WIP.

Crowdfund 8 Zora ETH.
We're crowdfunding using for 8 Zora ETH where anyone can contribute. In exchange for contribution you get access to an exclusive MODEL-WIP owner group and one voting share. Contributions must meet or exceed .03 Zora ETH for a voting share.
Commission an artist to create a body of work.
Once the crowdfund is complete, we'll source, engage, and decide on an artist to commission. That artist will be paid a portion of the crowdfund to create a unique body of work to train the model on.
Train a model on that body of work + make available in SOURCE.
Once the model is complete, we'll make it available via SOURCE where anyone will be able to create and publish new collections using the model. MODEL-WIP will earn protocol fees from use of the model. The fees will be sent to the crowdfund contract where they can be withdrawn by contributors on a pro rata basis!

Make sure to bridge ETH to Zora using either Zora or your wallet like Rainbow. We're capping the crowdfund at 8 ETH so make sure to contribute now before it fills up!
Much love,
