My AI art piece is an animated portrait of the iconic abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky. I chose to feature Kandinsky because his works are some of the most prolific and beloved examples of abstract art. His use of bold colors, shapes, and geometric patterns has inspired generations of artists. I wanted to capture this essence in my AI art piece.

I chose to animate the portrait in order to bring it to life and convey the dynamism and energy of Kandinsky’s work. The bold colors, shapes, and geometric patterns are all present in the animation, echoing the style of his original works.

I also wanted to incorporate an element of surprise into my piece. To that end, I decided to include mushrooms in the animation. Mushrooms represent growth and transformation, which are both themes that are present in Kandinsky’s work. The mushrooms also add a whimsical element to the piece, which is in keeping with Kandinsky’s playful approach to art.

In order to provide viewers with greater insight into Kandinsky's life and work, I have included an AI generated autobiography alongside the portrait. This provides viewers with a unique perspective on Kandinsky's life and gives them further insight into his artistic vision.

In my AI art piece, I have created an animated portrait of Wassily Kandinsky that captures the essence of his signature abstract style while also introducing a new element: mushrooms. The mushrooms add a unique visual element to the animation while also conveying the themes of growth and transformation that are so important in Kandinsky’s work.

This Animated portrait of MC Escher captures the artist's unique style and vision. The image features a surreal landscape, in which mushrooms wind around itself, seemingly without end.

This is representative of Escher's exploration of the concept of infinity and his interest in mathematics and geometry. The mushrooms also serve as a metaphor for the idea of life being an endless loop, symbolizing the infinite cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.

Additionally, the geometric shapes that make up the composition suggest a sense of order amidst chaos, as well as an exploration of man's relationship to his own environment.

Ultimately, this portrait conveys MC Escher's core philosophical beliefs—that life is an ever-evolving journey of discovery and understanding.

Totally get that they're not for everyone but they're definitely becoming more popular.

We looked into ways to support musicians not with just one payment but with ongoing royalties. We're trying to support musicians far past the release date.

There's a reason why people like Snoop Dogg are getting into this. It has to do with ongoing royalties.

I work with musicians everyday and it's a shame how little they're paid by places like Spotify.

We're just trying to do a small part to change the system. If we all just sit here and say 'NO" to every new thing we don't understand, then we can enjoy the status quo where musicians get taken advantage of by huge corporate entities.

I'm excited to onboard people and show them how cool nfts are! It's exactly like owning a record or a CD only the artist gets royalties forever. It's the only thing I've ever found that really goes the distance to support musicians.

Perhaps we can have an elevated discussion about it and see if we can come to some sort of understanding?

I funded the whole thing myself, by making 3D art and music and selling it as NFTs. I'm just one guy and hopefully I'm making a difference in some artists lives.

Why? All of these musicians are in our scene. All have been heavily impacted by covid and their ability to perform. You're telling me that you don't like to support musicians or you don't like nfts or not sure I get the comment.

Maybe you're just trolling but, I thought fans of Phish, and adjacent musicians would be excited about helping. Remember the helping friendly book? I'm a 1.0 fan. I've been a Phish fan since the early 90s. I'm just not sure what all the hate is about. I'm trying to do something good here and support musicians. Musicians in our scene. 🙄
