No new imagery, but the architecture is taking root as the creative mind is being organized into memories, moods, and stimulus. Also the code is being split into session based interactions as well as shared interactions. More work today and maybe if we are lucky the machines gets turned on today.

The next frontier in AI is reflective and multimodal. My art has long used both concepts, but the continuation of Reflection will be an interactive experience to explore them at depth. Here is first artwork to come out of the 90% complete system. Watch here on the /reflection channel for daily updates.

Traded for two new Reflections in the Reflection pool. Dynamic wallet backgrounds are the best.

Picked up a fourth Reflection by @vanarman. 100% on chain long form generative AI. This one is dynamic and the background changes to reflect the wallet of the owner.

I suspect we are only scratching the surface of the many meanings of reflection that @vanarman has hidden inside.

"The Demons of Consciousness," is 15 individual layers, generated on mint, encoded completely on chain. Each layer is derived from one of 9 paintings by @vanarman’s robot, drawing upon the influences of past collections.
