There are two branches of my art.
The critically acclaimed AI Faces, and the commercially successful bitGANs.
This is not unusual. Throughout Art History (my favorite example being Turner) artists sometimes follow two paths simultaneously. One that keeps their studio open by appealing to the average patron, and another that challenges their viewers. Both are important to the artists, but the second branch needs the support of the first to exist.
This has been my experience with bitGANs and AI Faces. The unexpected commercial success of the bitGANs has allowed me to expand and go deep with my exploration of AI Faces. I now have multiple robot arms with multiple paint heads in a dedicated studio as I set out to launch the Feedback Series in 2024.
I minted the first Feedback painting today, January 1, 2024. See it here on SuperRare. It is hard to describe other than it is the culmination of everything I have ever worked on. It is even a merging of the two branches I just described.
The bitGANs and AI Faces are coming together.
How exactly?
