Dear friends, we are proud to present the @aiww Voice Gem
The Ai WeiWei #1040 VOICE GEM was generated as a gift for Ai WeiWei by Alfred Weidinger the managing director of OÖ Landes-Kultur. The precious digital object was generated from a voice recording of Ai WeiWei.

Voice Gems showcased at the @Gagosian by Claire Webb of the Berggruen Institute. Discussing digital preservation and voice and data to form.

Voice generated prototype: solid silver 3D print, of laughter.
For over a year we have researched sister physical objects to our digital VOICE GEMS in the archive. We will not share with you too much at this stage, but here we present a prototype:
@Reeps1 x @TBaoCreate

So exciting to see our @voicegemsarch and @HerbertWFranke works being showcased by collectors. Thank you to collectors for the 454 works now out in the world.
GM - both from the late Herbert W. Franke, a pioneer of Generative Art. Upper - “Voice Gems Astropoeticon”. A poem written and read by Frank in 2007. The audio then turned into video via ‘voice centered generative art’. Lower - Math Art from Quantum. @HerbertWFranke

Every voice is unique, with that comes unique fingerprint-like data that can be used for bespoke and human centred generative design. Yeff & Bao have developed a voice-centred generative system utilising data found in a human voice to synthesise the artworks’ form and colour.
Trung Bao retweeted
as many people asked for NFTs from @HerbertWFranke, susanne and i chose the NFT that was close to his heart because he came from caves to art and later to rock collecting
and he was an author and poet
this VOICE GEM brings it all together
Trung Bao retweeted
A very important explanation of the @voicegemsarch system and the rules myself and @TBaoCreate have designed. Limitation is beauty.
Why is the VOICE GEM by Herbert this color?
In 2021, the rules for the VOICE GEMS generative system were set. For each voice, the artists do not get to choose the colour and shape of each gem.
▪️ Open Edition
▪️ available until April 1
▪️ 6 PM CET

When I curated a solo exhibition with Herbert W. Franke in 2021 in Zurich at @GerberStauffer gallery, the artist read and recorded 16 lyrics from his cybernetic poems "Astropoeticon" (1979) and we launched 3 cymatic Voice Gems in collaboration with Reeps100 and Trung Bao.

Here‘s the story behind the VOICE GEMS AUTOPOETICON available as an Open Edition until Saturday, 6 PM CET.
Herbert, who was also a caver and rock collector, became interested in VOICE GEMS in 2021, and soon a collaboration emerged.

Today we announce a very special collaboration with the computational master @HerbertWFranke , a collaboration that started in 2021 when Herbert ( who was 95 at the time ) reached out to us taking interest in how we visualise voices as organic structure.

We are pleased to share a preview of our collaboration with @HerbertWFranke for the tribute collection going live tomorrow. We collaborated last year and was struck by the passing of such a giant. We give birth to a new Franke VOICE GEM - W/ @postanika - tribute-hwf.com

Produced this exhibition in Saigon along with directors and artists @TBaoCreate @haidoanvisual and frens.
Visited a sick IRL exhibition organized by my fren @bluefintuna_eth.
Check out this awesome installation. Serious matrix vibes!

Very sad to hear one of our dear @voicegems_ collectors have had their work stolen. Collectors spending thousands on an artwork and it being taken from them is a new experience for me. I am committed to blockchain as a medium, I hope the space can become safer. #nft #blockchain
