"This is a new time for the world: a bad time. And you have suffered it all. You have gone farthest. And at the farthest, at the end of the black path, there grows the Tree; there the fruit ripens; now you reach up, Selver, now you gather it. And the world changes wholly, when a man holds in his hand the fruit of that tree, whose roots are deeper than the forest."
Ursula K Le Guin

a favorite Shibboleth poem of mine from a couple Octobers ago
In the story of the world I am a letter.
In the story of the world it is October.

Many of you know this already, but @mikeyw is my partner, so I've seen the evolution of This Was Presence not just in its outward manifestation, but thru the presence that has gone into it as well.
Mikey is an artist who performs an elemental role in creation – going into the shadow world where the threads that bind personhood unravel & bringing back from there vessels of renewal. This may well be the only thing about us that can't be synthesized by AI.
This is what Mikey is looking at with This Was Presence - what is left & what might carry us thru. The collection approaches AI as a shell that seals off the force of life. Mikey is trying to crack this shell from the inside by growing presences within it, seeding it with transformative experience. Thru the eyes of the future historical, I see it as a unique marker of the shape of art at the current threshold of technological evolution.
Please have a look thru the article below, the @verse site is linked there and is live until 8pm CET today.

NOTE ON THE DOOR
If it were ever too late
to unhook the avalanche
from your belt, then no one
would ever have hung
like Blake from the steep
above the abyss of the senses.
If the avalanche could really
eat all time, then no one
would ever have slipped
through the rushing
currents to implant an all-
cutting diamond in our stillness.
But
in reality, the avalanche
is a door. Look,
there is a note
on the door.
The note says,
Come in,
I hope you like
the diamond.

art movements arise in response to cultural shifts
eg
- baroque : counter-reformation
- romanticism : industrial revolution
- pop : consumer culture
@vanarman's Reflective AI approaches the shift that synthetic creative systems introduce & how they might change the way we see

I talked to Nate Alex about Natives for a minute at the punk brunch in Paris -- it's rare to see someone so thoroughly and genuinely in love with what they're doing. I love how much he loves it.
I predict that it will use every possible contract dynamic on ETH, and then will become an ordinal.

The monopoly on money is also a monopoly on meaning.
If the source of truth & ground of consensus is central authority, then meaning can only be assigned rather than generated emergently.
It produces a stagnation, an inability accommodate value structures to new realities.

What amount of ETH would you consider to be an "Ethereum penny"?

Apple would ban our app. Reddit and Twitter are grandfathered in.
When Claire Silver makes a collection, she gives some pieces a "Qualia" trait. She's described these Qualia as a curated set of her personal favorites.
I like to pair the Qualia with poems.
corpo | real has 11 Qualia
& this @deca gallery has 11 poems.
