/ About the project

This artwork uses GPT and Stable Diffusion to bring these futuristic everyday life scenes Asimov cherished. Each artwork is created using a tile from the parent scene using Controlnet.

Unique QRCodes were then created and deployed at NFC Lisbon 2023 to allow visitors to mint, more than 200 artworks were minted in less than an hour.

Inspired by Isaac Asimov's remarkable work, Nahiko Mikasa sought to translate this vision of the future into the current state of AI. Utilizing GPT-3.5, Nahiko engages in discussions, generates ideas, and creates descriptions and titles for a new collection. Stable Diffusion 1.5 is employed to generate images and visuals, iterating on those ideas.

The collection is divided into three categories, each paired with a parent visual:

- AI in a World of Innovation and Creativity

- AI in a World of Ethics and Identity

- AI in a World of Education and Infrastructure

Each parent concept is expanded into a mosaic of specific subjects within that category. Using ControlNet, each NFT directly emerges from the parent visual, which serves as a guide for color, structure, and meaning.

NFTs were displayed at NFC Lisbon 2023 and were initially mintable only by visitors. More than 200 tokens were minted by the audience. To mint, visitors scanned QR codes embedded in the mosaic, which directed them to the mint page.

These unique QR codes, incorporating the artwork itself, were handcrafted by Nahiko using a mostly unknown technique.
