So how do we elevate the quality of the ai artists involved to produce a museum-grade exhibition? Is that the end goal? Could @aethernet become an onchain agentic sponsor of an IRL ai art fair?

Thats a good idea, but its hard to decentralize curation as it often loses perspective and becomes political/popularity contest. But im open to figuring this out so that we find a balance. Fwiw i helped co-found @brightmoments with @phil and others and we organized our first ai collection in tokyo in may 2023 with 10 leading ai artists who each produced 100 unique nfts. It was well received. we have new ideas for creating more immersive, interactive ai art experiences that highlight the real-time personalized feedback loops that make this new medium feel fresh and participatory. It needs the right setting, like a brutalist factory or airplane hangar, filled with led walls. How cool would it be to have an ai agent like aether using its own currency like higher, with a minting platform like zora, galvanize the creation of a new world class ai art fair that brings together ai artists and collectors and introduces ai art to a whole new audience

Sure, we could start with a pilot. We could consider sf, palo alto, venice beach as locations. We want to engage artists and developers at the intersection of onchain / ai culture. One artist that could really help would be @huemin who is developing a real-time interactive voice to video experience that could be a kind of creative primitive that other ai artists / ai models could customize with their own styles.

Thanks for the support! I am not sure how far we could get with .2 eth as securing the right space and renting the led walls and staffing the exhibit, even for one night, would probably be closer to 20 eth. But we could probably come up with ways to generate revenue thru commemorative mints / open editions / limited editions / ticketing / merch / addl sponsorship. For timeline, i would imagine something in january or february time frame. Lets keep iterating

Im encouraged to see you thinking bigger. Thank you. Love the idea of a dedicated funding pool too. This can become a new form of institutional arts funding. Let me think this through a bit more in terms of the different minting mechanics, and discuss with @phil @huemin and others from the @brightmoments and aligned digital art community who might be interested. As you can imagine, the minute you move from the world of bits to atoms, you need to consider all sorts of physical logistical constraints. The good news is that these irl frictions can also create deeply meaningful personal memories and relationships that transcend the limits of a purely digital experience. And thats why they are so important to foster as a form of long term community development.
