WHAT'S IN YOUR WALLET?
Step 1) Rt-click-saved all of the pieces of art in my wallet
Step 2) Trained a GAN on the pieces in my wallet
Step 3) Utilized the GAN outputs as a seed for a new creation in Midjourney6
Step 4) Upscaled / Style Transfer in Magnific AI
Step 5) Stitched together animation in Capcut
// DESCRIPTION
MLow, a crypto artist known for his AI collaborations, presents "What's In Your Wallet?" - a series exploring identity and taste in the digital age. Inspired by the idea that our possessions define us, MLow trains a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) on the art pieces in his cryptocurrency wallet, and then proceeds to use those outputs as seeds for new creations.
The AI mixed-model (GAN, ChatGPT 4o, Midjourney6, Photoshop with AI Generative Fill, Magnific AI Upscale, Pika, Luma Labs, and more) interprets the stylistic and thematic elements of the collected works, creating a dialogue between them. The resulting AI-generated pieces are a fusion of influences, embodying MLow's digital persona. He further engages multiple AI models to transform the works, each leaving its mark and adding new layers of interpretation. This iterative process mirrors MLow's journey of self-discovery, as the AI models deconstruct and reconstruct his identity. "What's In Your Wallet?" invites us to reflect on how we curate and express our identities in the digital world.
One of my favorite rabbit holes that I went down with this project was working with @jhuffizi to have a conversation through our work. From oil painting, to GAN, Mixed GAN with Oil painting in Midjourney, back to Oil painting, Magnific, and back to Midjourney6.
I also attempted to learn how to code with ChatGPT 4o in conversation with Claude to write a script using Python that would connect to etherscan API and download all of the pieces in one's wallet, train a GAN on it, and then create new pieces with them in Midjourney6....
