Hey everyone. This is me, @beautyandpunk. For those who don’t know me, please simply call me B.
I’m a #cryptopunk claimer, and have been in this space for quite a while, seeing it flourish.
One of the few women OG, I appreciate @artnet’s invitation to such a platform.

2/ Seeing the space evolve, I evolved with it. I became much more than a collector. I am a founder, an advocate, and an artist.
3/ If you want to know more, check out my interview with @henrindf about my journey so far and all that is to come. Both on my future, that of @rise_dao and of all the women we will be able to empower.
4/ @rise_dao is born from my desire to erase the “show me women art” from my timeline. There are women here, and there should be so many more that you won’t have to look for us. To bring our voices to the front line.

AI-Collaborative art is a new, blooming genre. This basic premise is that an artificial intelligence and an artist work together, both equally important to the process, to create art that neither could have made alone.
There are several kinds of AI Art, some of which use intricate and skillful coding, some of which use no code from the artist at all. Below is "Cassandra Ex Machina," a piece of mine made with AI & a combo of oil and digital painting--with no specialized tech knowledge required.
We are living through an interesting cultural shift. Art, tech, and sociology are meeting to create a moment--and an aesthetic--that's quite new. Lets examine some pieces of what that looks like below 👇
Starting with us: Digital Identity is a blooming concept. Live-motion avatars will soon be how we interact online, and they're better all the time. Here is an @UnrealEngine Metahuman I made of my profile picture--with no code, in about an hour.
Architecture is changing. Michael Hansmeyer's algorithm designed, 3D printed architecture calls to mind baroque cathedrals, strange uncertainty, and a rebellious optimism that is echoed in the art and culture of the digital world at this moment.
