Incredibly stoked to have an exciting new mini TITLES app for my AI model, The Collage (Dropout), on Farcaster. Take it for a spin and let me know what you think. Thanks @titles for continually shipping 🔥 🔥 🔥 https://titles.xyz/frames/create?model=9BOZ54JRhGRWkiRtB0bu

“I knew that the conditions, the events, would be forgotten or deliberately erased. In this work, the people’s words are the main material.” — Almagul Menlibayeva AI Realism weaves memory and machine to surface what Soviet power tried to erase. Futures shaped by buried pasts. A lot to parse from the artist’s purposeful process. https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/688648/almagul-menlibayeva-ai-reimagining-censored-government-work

A new AR tour launched this Juneteenth unearths stories of Portsmouth’s African Burying Ground. 200+ people of African descent were laid to rest on the 1705 site, rediscovered in 2003. Tech enables the Black Heritage Trail to reclaim nearly erased narratives, so ancestral voices guide us forward. https://www.axios.com/local/boston/2025/06/16/black-heritage-trail-nh-ar

The A Corp lets creatives pool resources, share upside, and own what they build. From my work in DAOs and cultural economies, it’s a model for real-world coordination toward real equity. Especially urgent for (afro diaspora) artists historically leveraged by systems not built for them. https://www.ted.com/talks/yancey_strickler_forget_hustle_culture_behold_the_artist_corporation

An Afrofuturist Crypto Future - Uses blockchain to preserve memory - Centers community autonomy over speculative capital - Reclaims data as relationship, not commodity - Fosters a new Black financial imaginary These remix points emerge from Julian Chambliss’s Afrofuturist intervention into the crypto conversation. They reflect a deeper call to transform blockchain from a tool of speculative extraction into a vessel for memory, care, and cultural continuity. Cultural counter-design meets crypto is core to my practice, so a lot to parse. What are your thoughts? https://www.afrofantastic.com/blog/the-law-trials-5-shadow-money

In Coogler’s Sinners, wooden nickels, gold coins, and paper dollars expose who holds power - and who’s left out. Web3, at its best, offers a shot at real sovereignty for those long forced to trade in rigged currencies.

230M African jobs will need digital skills by 2030. AI isn’t just threat or savior, it’s a tool. The question is who wields it. From AI tutors in Lagos to smarter farming in Kano, there’s a chance to shape the future on African terms. https://techsafari.beehiiv.com/p/will-ai-kill-all-the-jobs

"Afrofuturism explores the complexities of history, culture, and social structures. Latent space helps training models handle the complexity of large datasets. My work in the SFO Museum exhibition interrogates and experiments with these concepts and practices." Artist Nettrice Gaskins, Woman on Afrofuturism Routing my next flight West through SFO to explore this captivating conceptual airspace where Afrofuturism and latent space meet - two creative systems for navigating complexity, memory, and possibility. https://www.sfomuseum.org/exhibitions/women-afrofuturism

Memetic scaffolding for antimemetic truths may be the most overlooked tool in cultural counter-design.

"I use this lens because it’s a very good way to frame the mindset of the innovators in electronic music. Most of the innovators of these moments (Sun Ra, Lee Scratch Perry, King Tubby, etc.) were important visionaries and used imagination and dreaming to shape their own reality, which was worldbuilding to change others’ reality, as well as our future." Professor & iconic sonic artist, King Britt on Afrofuturism and the history of Black electronic music

“Futurism is a mindset where you are thinking about the future you want and moving backward from there. If you think of a world that has people of color properly represented and we’re able to feel liberated, then you have to define that future and reverse engineer it,” - Anatola Araba, filmmaker, futurist, and founder of Reimagine Story Lab https://lasentinel.net/anatola-araba-decolonizing-data-through-afrofuturism.html

Sun Ra left Earth on May 30, 1993, but his orbit never veered. He’s still out there moving through the cosmos, composing far flung futures. Space is the place - and for all my fellow Afronauts, the mission is still live. Let’s launch.
