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...

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...

Forked Self: How Mr. Misang’s AI Model Explores a Different Creative Future
Mr. Misang is a Seoul-based illustrator and animator whose work explores the individual's position within the anonymous structures of contemporary life. His densely composed scenes depict crowds, cities, and bureaucratic systems not as backgrounds but as active forces—environments shaped by desire, routine, and infrastructural logic. Forked Self, Mr. Misang’s model with TITLES, is trained on two separate bodies of work—one more recent and one comprising pieces created between 2010 and 20...

For the past 6 months, our team has been working closely with artist Emily Xie on an experiment called MODEL-WIP. Born during the height of AI mania and in reaction to the headlines around it’s erosion of creativity. MODEL-WIP was created in effort to explore more deeply many artists' relationship to AI in their own practice.
On Thursday from 6 to 8PM at bitforms gallery in New York City. We’ll be unveiling that work including; Infinite Scroll, a series of works, and Scroll, a model custom-trained on her new works. During the event we’ll dive into questions like, What does it mean to create a body of work purpose-built to be trained on? How are models mediums in themselves? You can earn more about the project and Emily’s process, here.
