Emerging Faces / First Sparks / AI Imagined Faces / Reflection How are they related, and where is it going? a 🧵

Over the last ten years I have explored artificial creativity with a number of collections focusing on how well a robot could imagine and paint. Many have asked about the various collections' relationship to one another. Here is a brief synopsis that goes from Emerging Faces to Reflection…

In 2018, First Sparks were completed. The Conference Views in New York City commissioned 128 robotic prints based on Emerging Faces. The 128 robotic prints were then given away at Views to the VIP guestlist. They were also recorded as a hash on the Bitcoin Blockchain and later released as tokens on SuperRare.

In 2023 the concept went Fully On-Chain with Bright Moments Tokyo. 150 Paintings were created for the event. In addition to the painted canvases, 100 digital 100% on-chain pieces were distributed as part of Bright Moments on-site mint.
