Saw some collectors say artists shouldn’t talk politics if they want to sell art. I disagree—as long as the art matches my sofa, it’s fine. 🙄

i believe it, streaming is exploitative theft so im happy to see it working for you. i dont think its possible for most people to sell mp3 nfts tho but maybe thats just most things in life idk blockchain needs a native mp3 player badly, problem is people are more likely to listen to music thats accessible until some tipping point that im not convinced is on the way

people don’t even pay for music irl theres no way they’re buying mp3 NFTs

Isn’t @lphaCentauriKid’s The Great Restoration looking nice at @Casa_NUA? And how about @a_tchuca’s marijuana Flower Mandalas or @andregorayeb’s TRAMA? Properly framing Art hits different. We’re so excited curating the opening exhibit!

One year of work. The most complex painting I've ever made. The Monument Game

here’s a thread of photos I’ve shot, with no context, ‘cause why not?

I spent 10% of my life contributing to the development of the #VisionPro while I worked at Apple as a Neurotechnology Prototyping Researcher in the Technology Development Group. It’s the longest I’ve ever worked on a single effort. I’m proud and relieved that it’s finally announced. I’ve been working on AR and VR for ten years, and in many ways, this is a culmination of the whole industry into a single product. I’m thankful I helped make it real, and I’m open to consulting and taking calls if you’re looking to enter the space or refine your strategy. The work I did supported the foundational development of Vision Pro, the mindfulness experiences, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ products, and also more ambitious moonshot research with neurotechnology. Like, predicting you’ll click on something before you do, basically mind reading. I was there for 3.5 years and left at the end of 2021, so I’m excited to experience how the last two years brought everything together. I’m really curious what made the cut and what will be released later on. Specifically, I’m proud of contributing to the initial vision, strategy and direction of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ program for Vision Pro. The work I did on a small team helped green light that product category, and I think it could have significant global impact one day. The large majority of work I did at Apple is under NDA, and was spread across a wide range of topics and approaches. But a few things have become public through patents which I can cite and paraphrase below. Generally as a whole, a lot of the work I did involved detecting the mental state of users based on data from their body and brain when they were in immersive experiences. So, a user is in a mixed reality or virtual reality experience, and AI models are trying to predict if you are feeling curious, mind wandering, scared, paying attention, remembering a past experience, or some other cognitive state. And these may be inferred through measurements like eye tracking, electrical activity in the brain, heart beats and rhythms, muscle activity, blood density in the brain, blood pressure, skin conductance etc. There were a lot of tricks involved to make specific predictions possible, which the handful of patents I’m named on go into detail about. One of the coolest results involved predicting a user was going to click on something before they actually did. That was a ton of work and something I’m proud of. Your pupil reacts before you click in part because you expect something will happen after you click. So you can create biofeedback with a user's brain by monitoring their eye behavior, and redesigning the UI in real time to create more of this anticipatory pupil response. It’s a crude brain computer interface via the eyes, but very cool. And I’d take that over invasive brain surgery any day. Other tricks to infer cognitive state involved quickly flashing visuals or sounds to a user in ways they may not perceive, and then measuring their reaction to it. Another patent goes into details about using machine learning and signals from the body and brain to predict how focused, or relaxed you are, or how well you are learning. And then updating virtual environments to enhance those states. So, imagine an adaptive immersive environment that helps you learn, or work, or relax by changing what you’re seeing and hearing in the background. All of these details are publicly available in patents, and were carefully written to not leak anything. There was a ton of other stuff I was involved with, and hopefully more of it will see the light of day eventually. A lot of people have waited a long time for this product. But it’s still one step forward on the road to VR. And it’s going to take until the end of this decade for the industry to fully catch up to the grand vision for this tech. Again, I’m open to consulting work and taking calls if your business is looking to enter the space or refine your strategy. Mostly, I’m proud and relieved this has finally been announced. It’s been over five years since I started working on this, and I spent a significant portion of my life on it, as did an army of other designers and engineers. I hope the whole is greater than the sum of the parts and Vision Pro blows your mind.

So let me explain @spores_ my new favorite music toy onchain. Basically it’s a remix device you can use to remix some of your faves music on and then mint them. I recently put my record “PLATTER” on it and for the best remix i’ll release it with you on @ourZORA ✨✨✨ go play

PUMPED AFFFFFF for community night TONIGHT at the studio!! Come hang!! 🤙

SZNS is not about hype, a passing fad or a meme. Sit with the art & listen to the music while observing it. Pay attention to the emotions that arise. Meditating on these pieces will take you to the essence of the art & to a timeless place within yourself.

@muratpak 🤣

What the 😂

My 5 pieces that comprise my homage to Constantin Brâncuși will be exhibited at Brancusi Cultural Center of the Craiova Museum, curated by @clairesilver Thanks a lot to @accelerateart @spumma @NONE32X32 @outofthesystem1 opensea.io/collection/haf…
