I can’t believe this is real!!! 🤯 Getting my art onto the Sphere has been my biggest goal for years and now it’s a reality. I’m so grateful and honored, and stoked that @Abel_Okugawa joined me on this ride. His music is the other half of my art 💛

Entranced by “Viridian Lightfall,” the first XO/Art collaboration inspired by 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘖𝘻 𝘢𝘵 𝘚𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. Representing Dorothy’s journey from sepia Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, digital artist David Ariew takes viewers on a visual color story that begins in a field of golden light and builds through a crescendo of color before arriving at the luminous green of Emerald City. Original Soundtack🎵: Abel Okugawa

Who knows! I'm sure some NFT purchases are money laundering but it's impossible to know the frequency of that. Rich people do rich people things, shady or not. The NFT scene has been riddled with scams and opportunists but there are also a ton of genuine art collectors out there that believe in digital art provenance. I've met a lot whose intentions are wholesome! But this isn't the first time that collectors have purchased tweets before. Jack Dorsey's first tweet was auctioned and bought for almost $3M during the crazy hype phase. This is a performance artist who struck a nerve and went viral, then minted the performance. There was a whole bidding war that ensued and I doubt all those collectors were money launderers. The people buying have excess cash for sure but I think they also plan to hold it long term and they view it as a big cultural impact moment that could be resold later. It's a gamble but it could pay off 🤷‍♂️ The point is that the blockchain allows anyone to attach value to anything and buying something like this is akin to buying shares of an artist. I view it that way because if an artist floods the market with their work, they're creating too much supply for the demand and the value of their work will go down. Buying an NFT is a bet that down the line the artist will do more impactful experiments like this and make even bigger waves, and if so then that will actually increase the value of all of their artwork.

@DavidAriew Ok so genuine question…. Is it possible it’s just money laundering? I truly do not understand the value of a claim to a jpg on a block chain.

do you realize what’s happening?! what @SHL0MS just demonstrated goes far beyond trolling. he showed that in the ai era, context has become more powerful than observation itself. he took a real monet painting, labeled it as ai, and people immediately saw flaws, “soullessness,” and artificial patterns that never existed before the label was attached. nothing changed in the image which means many people are no longer seeing reality directly; they are seeing narratives projected onto reality first. that might be one of the most important psychological shifts of this generation how can you not love this guy 😂
𒐪@SHL0MS

i just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting

And then he minted the real Monet and sold it for $42K 😂🤯 The blockchain is such an amazing medium for performance art and social media experiments.
The Rundown AI@TheRundownAI

An artist just put a mirror to a lot of society's knee-jerk critiques of AI, using Claude (Monet). SHL0MS, known for his viral experiments, posted an image of a real Monet water lilies painting on X and told people it was AI-generated. Hundreds of replies poured in explaining exactly why it was 'slop'. "No cohesion of elements." "Doesn't look anywhere near like a Monet. Looks like somebody trying to replicate the style and achieving 20% of it." "High school level art 101 work." Every flaw described was a one invented the moment they saw the word AI.

Thanks to @shl0ms this is now Monet's most discussed painting. an art historian reminded us, while Monet's work looks familiar to us now, it represented a rupture in mainstream ways of seeing at the time. In this regard Monet has taken us to school twice now, 100 years apart

People saw a REAL Monet painting and thought it was AI and immediately started calling it slop......

@SHL0MS @muratpak I just mean the vibe and edge is similar. You just minted a Monet painting and it’s valid because you hit a nerve and that is art too 🎤

Provenance. The @SHL0MS performance is a reminder of its power. It is a reminder of the original premise of an NFT. Are we so back? Maybe.

@DavidAriew @eyedesyn @maxonredshift I don't think it's going to translate to Octane - you would have to bake it. Octane has the Chaos node, which can give more variation than Hex tiling (I think) - but takes much longer to process.
