We're still talking about "Unsupervised" being added to
@MuseumModernArt
's permanent collection. While it may be a small step for our studio, it is a giant leap for greater cultural acceptance of
#AIgenerated
artwork.
For more, dive into my latest blog.
I’ve spent the last several days reviewing, polishing, and reviewing the collection again and again.
IMO, this reveal will be spectacular. While I’m extremely proud of everything we’ve accomplished in web3 since 2020, I’m confident this is our best release yet.
Dear friends, we are getting ready and excited for the last weekend before the reveal of Winds of Yawanawa collection! Thank you for your love and support for this unique generative AI collection driven by Amazonian Rainforest wind data patterns! See you soon!!!
It’s true. Unsupervised is now part of the MoMA’s collection forever.
What a monumental moment for digital art, AI art, and web3.

Thanks to an amazing team and community of collectors, we were able to make a significant difference for the Yawanawa.

Congratulations on this acquisition!
