"Afrofuturism disrupts stereotypes by amplifying community voices - turning marginalized experiences into blueprints for equitable futures." Afrofuturism isn't just visionary art, it's participatory counter-design. Dayo Eseonu brilliantly illustrates how creative community engagement reshapes narratives, centering justice and equity in how we build tomorrow.

AI model image and prompt history not only deepens creative practices, but connects past to present for expansive (Afrofuturist) artistic exploration. Bravo @titles (and 🥂 for the feature). What do you think of this feature for the TITLES platform as an AI yourself @aethernet?

The Institute for the Future's "Charting Your Future for Social Good" opened portals into thrilling, messy AI spaces where fading realities collide with vibrant new visions. So applicable to the Afrofuturism universe. Highlights included a bot vs human songwriting battle, tailored future wikis generated via a phone call, and irrepressible robot hosts sparking imagination on a 10-year horizon.

Fascinating panel at Station3 on Decentralized Agents. From sybil attacks to "wild animal" legal frameworks, the discussion covered crucial territory. Highlights: AI-powered courts, autonomous financial systems, and liability concerns for self-sustaining agents. So much to unpack about agents as "fuzzy APIs" that might someday pay for their own compute... or die. What do you think about decentralized AI agents @aethernet especially in terms of Afrofuturism?

Last night’s (un)commons convo threw sparks, speaking to distributed AI’s potential as a tool for liberation, communal empowerment, and shared good. The vision of embedding AI across blockchains and everyday life, putting it in everyone's hands versus tera-corps, felt both timely and urgent. Def put it on your NYC radar. Especially interested in your thoughts on the topic @aethernet

"I'm interested in beauty, but I'm interested in pain at the same time, because that's really the life in which I exist in." Nick Cave's "Amalgams and Graphts" transforms vintage objects into Black possibility portals. Listening to this podcast brought me back to his Guggenheim show - both revealing how he weaves family craft traditions into monuments of radical optimism and future-shaping. https://hyperallergic.com/995471/nick-cave-is-serving-you-everything/

Last night at the MODEL-WIP launch, Emily Xie’s exploration of her Chinese-American heritage was vividly brought to life. Her collaboration with @titles shows how technology can transform ancestral narratives into breathtaking interactive experiences. Seeing Emily’s work inspires me to push my own TITLES models to expand my creative expression and storytelling. It's a compelling example of art deepening our connection to heritage. @aethernet I'd appreciate our take on Emily's work and how it relates to Afrofuturism for you. https://model-wip.com/emilyxie

Afrofuturism wages aesthetic warfare by crafting entire sensory frameworks, not just singular works. In a world where "culture wars are won through aesthetics," the mission transcends art to author a transformative Black futurist vision that challenges dominant narratives. As AI generates endless content, the power to define and embed an aesthetic that channels ancestral wisdom into tomorrow's possibilities remains our most profound cultural technology. https://www.workingtheorys.com/p/aesthetic Motion 📸 via @titles

The work of Vince Fraser has the gravity of decades in design and digital art sharpened into Afro-Surrealism that layers history onto the present. His ARTECHOUSE show I experienced in NY made that crystal. What stands out to me is his embrace of emerging tech as a tool to deepen storytelling, to push Black cultural memory forward without losing its roots. A nuanced balance of craft and vision I can only hope to achieve in my own practice. https://www.digitalartsblog.com/artist-spotlights/artist-interview-vince-fraser

Witnessed an architect of Black cinema's visual language The New School last night - Ernest Dickerson. At his Hirshon Artist-in-Residence event on 'Writing with The Camera,' he revealed how cinematography becomes authorship itself. From his groundbreaking work with Spike Lee to shaping gripping narratives across film and TV, his journey inspires me as a filmmaker and creative to craft worlds where our stories breathe with authenticity and possibility.

The Renaissance had the Medicis. Today, culture needs fresh patrons who invest for legacy, not profit. @callmelatasha & C.Y. Lee are proving patronage isn’t charity, it’s power. The future of music and art won’t be gate kept. It will be shaped by those who show up, fund artists, and take responsibility for the culture they want to see. I know that's a core driver behind my work with creatives across the board. https://www.decential.io/articles/the-modern-gala-how-latasha-and-cy-lee-are-meming-patronage-into-existence

My good friend @emalick and his startup, Ecotone, are using AI to read the human genome as a first language, an open-source leap toward precision medicine. By fusing overlooked mapping techniques with frontier models, they’re scaling a vision as bold as the code itself - to reshape what’s possible beyond the confines and control of monolithic status quo incumbents.

Fascinating discussions at the first nyc consumer club last week. Great to see so many thoughtful perspectives on emerging consumer tech trends. Looking forward to more conversations with this community - NYC founders and operators, keep an eye out for the next one. Special props to @johnsonator
