AI agents HATE this one weird trick for coming up with new art ideas ...

there's a lot one could say about this, but I'm only gonna comment on one part here. As an artist my business is beauty, and while it is very very tempting to think beauty aligns with the good, it's actually amoral. It has its own axis https://mnovendstern.com/TechBrother
I've been learning Chinese and this maps startlingly onto my experience w 漢字. My hypothesis has been that it's related to the same neurological phenomenon that makes the memory palace effective, aka memory is spatial and moving the hand is enough to trigger it

languages are a kind of role-based access for cities
favourite texts about mechanism design, good for introducing an audience to the field? or alternatively, protocols or projects that make good case studies?
Just sharing a selection of the memoryforms minted so far! I love reading what people say about them, and am hoping that over time this can grow to be a collaborative memorial, and leave something permanent onchain even though so many of the Lifeforms themselves were ephemeral 💐
if you cared for a lifeform before Mar 6 of this year, you're eligible to create one - I might expand this to everyone who cared for a lifeform ever but it'll take me a lil while 😅

launched two new interactions related to my long term project Lifeforms yesterday!
first is a way to mint a memory of your lifeforms, shaped by how you interacted with them. You can check if you're eligible here: https://gooddeath.lifeforms.supply/

some pics from my presentation about artist DAOs at Sonar Festival back in June
I've been experimenting with interactive presentations formats, first at STRP Festival last year where I convened the audience into a DAO and had them vote on which of my artworks I talked about, and now at Sonar, where I actually wrote a lil app where the audience answered quizzes and as well as voting on which examples I should talk about in detail. It's a little bit tiktok npc and a lil bit educational game show. Planning to clean it up and use again in a somewhat different format early next year 🎰

I'm about to release a looooot of new work in the next few weeks, starting with Prompt Baby, on Modularium & Forma on Aug 28 ✨💕
everyone who thinks super intelligent AI will "destroy us all" tells on themselves: they think it is smart to be less kind
im sick of talking about DAOs can we bring back sortition
one of my greatest professional accomplishments is I've never had to join linkedin
sometimes I think we need a new copernican revolution and sometimes I think we're not done processing the first one
maybe I should have called it e-sports in the expanded field

me, 1.5 days ago: what are you talking about, no way I'm going to write a voting app for my Sonar Festival talk, that would be insane, absolutely not, no
me, today: phew just finished the voting app for my Sonar Festival talk

one of my most woo beliefs is that 1) suffering and 2) mortality and possibly 3) a felt sensory experience of these things ie. pain will turn out to be necessary for AGI
very ironic to be posting this in four places because we're at the platform wars phase of protocol development
what are your fave texts on DAOs from the last... ~year
thinking about how "long form generative art" has traded the time in what we used to call time-based media for space
one thing all these nascent non-twitters inevitably highlights...
