This Thursday we are presenting in a KTH University Seminar entitled “Artistic and legal-philosophical perspectives on deep fakes” — We’ll be discussing our synthetic cinema series created in 2021 called Soft Evidence. If you’re curious about deep fakes, synthetic / AI generated media and its impact on creativity and also the sense of a shared social reality, this will be very interesting!

We have been working with our friend’s non-profit in Mexico City, Arte Pro, raise funds to support their work. For the last 9 years, they’ve been bringing art and mindfulness workshops to children born into abuse, neglect or incarceration.

Their inaugural NFT artwork release is called “Soñando con Flores” —it was created from the children’s recent workshop paintings 💙 This is an open edition available for .02 eth ($35USD). Would appreciate any support or shares! 100% of funds go to the organization.

OE ends in 16 hours!
