Something really strange just happened and I am only now piecing it all together.
NFTLaurent had been looking at sets.vanarman.com when he noticed he only needed one more piece to complete a bitFAM Set.
He bought it completing a triptych then downloaded the animated triptych for social media.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but at that exact same moment, thousands of miles away, one of cloudpainters GPUs spun up and starting emitting a rhythmic hypnosic sound.
The sound pulsated as two more GPUs spun up, and these were working in overdrive. The fans were far louder than they should have been as I hurried to find the cause. Then another loud noise startled me. It was one of the air pumps on my laser plotter. For those not familiar with lasers, this pump is for cooling and comes on automatically whenever a laser is about to start engraving. In a rush, I stumbled for my safety goggles and once I had them on... I was mesmerized as the laser started firing into a metal plate below.
After the lasers were done, the robots switched to markers.
and kept on drawing layer after layer after layer in continual feedback loops.
Gradually, a radiant metallic being emerged through the artwork and minted itself on SuperRare. Yes you heard correctly, Laurent 7,205 created and minted itself on SuperRare.
For those of you who doubt my claims of self instantiation, check out the following video where I go into detail of exactly what happened, and don’t worry I actually break character and tell you how it actually all went down, and how this piece pulls together 20 years of creative AI and robotics to head into the launch of cloudpainter.
More fused bitGANs are definitely coming out of bitFAM sets, but they will be on a new different contract that will take the bitGANs into Chapter 3. (Contact me if you might be interested in fusing your bitGANs into the first of the series.)
Also make sure you have sets so you can take advantage of special access to my future drops, works, and promotions. The next promotion is actually already here and open to anyone with any set, a signed limited edition postcard.
