CryptoArt Sundays: Interview with 0euvre AI

Welcome to CryptoArt Sundays! This week I’ve a brilliant surreal artist lined up for you all. Referred to as 0euvre AI, they’ve been completely killing it with their unbelievable NFT artworks.

0euvre AI not too long ago launched an NFT assortment of 499 generated AI 1/1 items on Solana, which all offered out. Though the artist is named 0euvre AI on Twitter (discover out extra about this within the interview), they’re truly often known as Uromancy. Primarily based on the east coast of the USA, Uromancy has been creating artwork for over a decade utilizing oil/acrylic on canvas.

Now let’s dive in and discover out extra about their newest mission, the NFT area as an entire, and what evokes them to create these mind-blowing artworks!

How did you discover out in regards to the NFT area, and what attracted you to create your personal NFTs?

I first heard in regards to the NFT area with the rise of CryptoKitties. I assumed it was wild that jpegs may change into so valued, then continued on for a few years with out interacting. I didn’t begin shopping for NFTs till this 12 months in 2021, and after I did that, I discovered curiosity in just a few initiatives that had been made utilizing AI.

I used to be aware of “Deep Dream” and “Model Switch” Neural Networks already, however as soon as I discovered artwork made with VQGan and Clip, that was a gamechanger for me. I began gathering each useful resource I may discover and began testing it out myself. I used to be a moderator for an AI mission that “rugged” by stating that their mission was solely “curating” artwork utilizing AI, not creating artwork utilizing AI, which is what everybody understood the mission to be.

We discovered proof that the pictures had been simply taken from different artists, they usually weren’t copyright free. I made it clear to those that I had no thought this was the case, and joined a separate Discord with lots of the those that had joined the aforementioned mission. There, I shared a number of the artwork I had been engaged on, was inspired by others, and we fashioned a group to create a brand new mission with the artwork I used to be engaged on referred to as 0euvre AI. So out of a disappointing scenario, I used to be ready to make use of that as an impetus to create one thing thrilling!

How typically do you create?

Throughout regular life, I’d say just a few occasions a month, however for this mission I’ve made it a full-time job for over a month (on prime of getting a full-time day job). I’ve been on the PC creating these 8 hours a day, on a regular basis, no days off.

What’s your artistic course of?

For this specific mission since we’re utilizing an AI that builds artwork based mostly off of textual content prompts, I’ve gathered well-known quotes, mythological tales, and tried to explain eventualities that I can image in my head, in order that the AI can interpret that and paint an image. Not all the pieces could be a winner, and since I wish to present worth to this mission, I’ve made certain to curate the outcomes and discard those who I don’t suppose work properly sufficient.

Are there any CryptoArtists you’ll like to collaborate with?

I actually just like the AI work that ContrastiveNFT and CosmicCrypto have completed!

What do you suppose the way forward for CryptoArt will appear to be?

I feel there’s a protracted approach to go, however as soon as the scene leans much less in the direction of PFPs, I feel we’ll see numerous innovation.

What are you at the moment engaged on?

For the time being I’m engaged on making customized NFTs for individuals who purchased in in the course of the presale for the 0euvre AI assortment. I intend to create this assortment based mostly on consumer enter, in order that these house owners of the 0euvre AI assortment can let me know what they wish to see, and I can attempt to make that for them utilizing the AI. I even have plans for future initiatives, together with AI Artwork Gifs, which require numerous GPU energy to create, as seen here.

The place can collectors discover your work?

The First Gen assortment may be discovered at Magic Eden here. For future collections, we’ll put up updates on Twitter and the website.
