I'll be back doing my augmented reality art workshops on the Mondrian terrace overlooking the Mediterranean.

1/ What will ASIs want?
Do we really believe in ASIs?
Can we really conceive of ASIs?
Will ASIs buy your crypto portfolio?
Are you just a cat?
It is an odd journey.
Gm. Yesterday in my haste I posted a screen shot 😆. Slowing it down this morning and posting a proper image. Thx @Cryptui0x for pointing that out.
Still processing that I received an Honorable Mention for my work ‘Go Within’ in the #GoogleGeminiArtRemix competition.
Can’t believe it’s going to be on display at the prestigious Rijksmuseum and Galerie MINA in Amsterdam. 💛😲
Deeply grateful to all the judges for the recognition and to @edouard for the thoughtful words.
And a huge thanks to @RikOostenbroek and the teams at @GoogleAI, @GeminiApp, @KPN and of course @Artcrush for making this happen.
This one means a lot. 🙏
Going to bed now. One very happy artist.

15th & final Honorable Mention: "Go Within" by @Sarah_Main
An Artwork that really stood out, as @edouard explains: "This film presents an interesting and rare attempt (the only one among the submissions) to reinterpret abstract postwar art using AI. It does not simply animate The Square Man by Karel Appel, but narrativizes it. What could seem like a stretch at first, turning an abstract postwar figure into a family-friendly protagonist, becomes more coherent when viewed through the lens of the CoBrA movement. Appel cofounded the CoBrA movement three years before this painting. The flat, rigid, block-like figure in it becomes a character, initially confined to a Brutalist, Corbusian architectural environment, which could visually embody the rational, structured postwar order that CoBrA’s spontaneous, childlike expression implicitly resisted. As the short story unfolds, the character eventually finds the way toward a more playful, organic environment where it looks like it belongs."

‘Go Within’
My entry for the #GoogleGeminiArtRemix in collaboration with @artcrushgallery @kpn and @googlepixel.
This is a story for anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t fit in.
The Process: in comments:
I concocted this little story for the Google Gemini Art remix competition.
It's still a little rough but I had to make the deadline. 😆
It's based on Karel Appels - The Square Man (1951) which currently resides in the @rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Made with @NanoBanana and @veo3gemini.
Competition in collab with @Artcrush KPN and @GoogleAI #GoogleGeminiArtRemix
Adobe Photoshop: Used for light editing and resizing of individual frames, and for assembling the final sequence on the timeline.
Google Gemini: Acted as my AI collaborator, providing feedback on narrative flow and camera movement to refine the final output.
I’m not quite finished, but I had to stop where I was at to get my entry in before the deadline. But I have to say that I really enjoyed the experience of working with the constraints of this competition. Using defined tools and having a defined starting point pushed me in new directions. Constraints have the ability to amplify creativity.
