1/ Paperwork by @anacaballero via @brightmoments in Buenos Aires was the most memorable minting experience for me. 

Paperwork is a collection of 100 AI generated images of origami, inspired by Ana Maria's poetry.

2/ Prior to the mint, Ana Maria read aloud several of her poems, including her award winning poem Vasectomy: An Incision in Parts, which was published in Playboy magazine. Here is a spoken word NFT of that powerful poem:

Playboy and Sevens Foundation are proud to announce a first-of-its-kind partnership that brings a new four-part NFT grant-exhibition series focusing on Playboy’s core editorial themes of Gender and Sexuality, Speech, Equality, and Pleasure to life. The collaboration provides underrepresented digital artists with the opportunity to mint and sell their work in the metaverse. Playboy and Sevens recognize how the fight for equality and representation that continues to define the art world at large is particularly urgent in the fast-moving world of NFTs. As such, the first installment of the series, *The Art of Gender and Sexuality,* invited applicants to celebrate the power of diverse identities and perspectives. The exhibit was curated by artists ix shells, Anne Spalter & Shantell Martin, and Playboy head of art & editorial Liz Suman & creative director Erica Loewy.

3/ Ana Maria had previously read that poem to other audiences and had the audience write a short reaction to the poem on a sheet of paper.

She fed those words into the generative AI system to produce the final artwork.

4/ After the poetry reading (in an historic library in the bottom of an early 20th century theater), Ana Maria invited all the minters to choose a reaction that resonated with them after hearing the poem.

fin/ My daughter chose the reaction "A Dam Not Worth Building" and our artwork was minted based on that reaction. It's a perfect reflection of the art, and connects us from one moment in time to an anon from another moment.

Thank you @anacaballero and @brightmoments for a fun way to experience art!
