    New AI piece. Continuing on the museum/art theme and blending it with my previous mirror/reflection studies but taking advantage of how AI bleeds concepts across elements in a piece to do "reflection" in a very AI way. "The Scream"

    Let’s start a discovery thread! 🧵 I rarely, if ever do these, but I thought I'd try and bring some focus back on art and artists. I personally love BTS and WIP posts, so share some below or just share your art!

    A new cinematic AI piece. This is the fifth piece in my @midjourney + @Magnific_AI + @runwayml series. There is a bit of voyeurism that pulls you into these pieces. In this one you see loneliness, conflict, and comfort, all in one apartment building. "Panopticon - Nightlife"

    (1/8) I'm happy to announce that I'm joining @NianticLabs as their Director of Web3. I'm also happy to announce that Niantic is allowing me to continue to independently own and operate all of my NFT projects while being employed by them.

    I think a collector that publicly and vocally supports artists they have collected on a regular basis is a sign of a good collector. If you are an artist and one of your collectors has written a thread about your work, please reply with a link to the tweet!

    (1/5) I'm hearing more people in the upper ranks of social media talk about NFT photography and how it's the "next big thing". The general community has not caught on yet, but those of us who are deep into it, know it's been a big thing for a while.

    I just got a bid for 43Ξ from @caktux. No words… only respect for Vince. At the end of the day this is what it's all about & why we're all here. This is bigger than this one sale, it's a vote of confidence for what the entire POAC series stands for.💪🙏❤️foundation.app/@chikai/portra…

    Dear @SuperRare, If you just add a "white-space: pre-line" CSS style to the ArtworkDescription div, you would make a lot of artists very happy. Sincerely, Chikai
