Algoritmo Divino by Ganbrood, 2023  
==================================  
  
  
*Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.* - Dante Alighieri, Inferno, Canto III.  
* * *  
  
This quote speaks to the idea of transformation, letting go of old ways of thinking and embracing a new perspective. The Divine Comedy is just an allegory to parallel the similarity of long-form synthetic image generation using neural networks, as an art and image creation evolution.  
  
New AI tools are transforming the creative process for artists, pushing the boundaries of what are possible and inspiring new forms of expression. ‘Algoritmo Divino’ is the first on-chain series by Ganbrood, generated in real-time during the mint. Three hundred thirty-three unique iterations will surprise and guide you through three realms of Inferno, Purgatorio & Paradiso. The rarity, and prompt are encrypted on-chain, giving the collector a unique opportunity to collect the artwork's 'secret ingredient', holding the core 'prompt', which is encrypted and is eternally saved on the blockchain.  
  
In Dante's Divine Comedy, the transformation of souls as they journey through the afterlife is a central theme. The characters' experiences and behaviours lead to their conversion towards greater virtue and understanding or deeper learning and suffering.  
Similarly, long-form synthetic image generation using diffusion neural networks, generates images that progress and evolve. The process involves repeatedly applying a diffusion process to an initial image, resulting in a series of intermediate images gradually evolving towards a final, synthesized image. Each image represents a different stage in the generation process, and the final image depicts the journey's culmination.  
  
Divine Comedy's idea of journey and progression is a powerful metaphor in 'Algoritmo Divino' by Ganbrood, which represent many levels of alteration: working with prompt to image generation to personal growth and development. His own transformation as an artist from photography to synthetic images, accepting the new realm of AI and new tools as a creative process, all reflect in ‘Algoritmo Divino’.  
  
Ganbrood challenges himself with the long-form generation, which contradicts his standard process. The irreversibility of the results leaves little or no control over the output from the black box. Nevertheless, his signature themes of animals and gods are present in every 333 iterations, symbolizing humanity's desire to become godlike.  
* * *  
  
333 unique live-generated iterations of 'Algoritmo Divino' drop on 18th April at 7 pm CET. For the first time, the collector collects AI artwork in real-time, with the encrypted prompt, and rarities the artist uniquely integrates."  


Notte di Zaffiro

Richard Nadler

In hues of orange and green,
Two wise guys stand serene,
Sharp suits and glasses so clean,
Their eyes fixed on the betrayer unseen.

Their patterns twist and twirl,
In a cosmic dance, a universal swirl,
With unwavering unity they reveal,
No challenge or circumstance can conceal.

Insightful and wise in their gaze,
They see through the betrayer's ways,
Their minds like double-edged blades,
No lies or deceit make them sway.

Two wise guys, a symbol of might,
In this artwork, They bring light,
A reminder to all with clear insight,
Their integrity and honor shine bright.

The Wise Guys Vol. 3

Yamabushi's Horizons #17

Richard Nadler frequently visited Japan with his father in his youth. The process of reading Katsushika Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" while he was in Okinawa served as a source of inspiration for his creative endeavours, kindling fantasies of mythological stories that were intertwined with the ocean and the islands. 

The Japanese islands unfolded in his thoughts like a cinematic creation, complete with waves, beaches, volcanic landscapes, jungles, architecture, and coastlines. He was able to experience all of these things. These dreams made their way into his artworks with the assistance of artificial intelligence.

The story of Izanami and Izanagi, the siblings who sculpted the Japanese islands according to mythology is heartfelt and fraught with symbolism. It serves as the foundation for this series of work, which investigate the concepts of creation, mortality, and the repercussions of interfering with the divine presence.

Izanami Islands #36

Once upon a time, in a modern and artfully designed room, there sat two brothers with black hair, both wearing glasses, blue jeans, and black jackets with intricate patterns. They were anxiously waiting for the crypto market to become bullish again after a period of uncertainty and regulation.

The brothers, Taro and Yuto, had always been interested in cryptocurrency and had invested heavily in various digital assets. However, recent regulations had caused a downturn in the market, leaving the brothers anxious and uncertain about the future of their investments.

As they sat in their otherworldly designed room, surrounded by strange and beautiful objects from around the world, Taro and Yuto discussed their hopes and fears for the future of crypto. They both agreed that regulation was necessary to protect investors, but they also longed for the return of the bullish market that they had once known.

As they waited, they distracted themselves by examining the intricate designs on their jackets and discussing their favorite plants, which they had carefully cultivated and placed in the corner of the room. The greenery provided a sense of calm and serenity amidst the chaos of the crypto market.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity of waiting, the news came that the crypto market had become bullish once again. Taro and Yuto cheered and hugged each other, relieved that their investments were finally paying off.

With renewed hope and excitement, they turned their attention to new investments and opportunities, confident that their knowledge and experience in the world of cryptocurrency would guide them towards success. And as they looked out at their plants, they felt a sense of gratitude for the small moments of beauty and peace that had sustained them during the tumultuous times in the crypto market.

The Crypto Dudes Vol. 2

As the setting sun bathed the city in a warm golden light, Taro stood at the top of the hill and gazed out at the landscape before him. He was an architect, and his work was a reflection of his passion for traditional Japanese design.

The city below was a testament to his life's work. Row upon row of graceful wooden buildings, each one perfectly in harmony with the natural world around it. Taro's designs were known for their beauty and simplicity, and he was proud of the fact that his creations blended seamlessly with the surrounding environment.

But even as he admired his handiwork, Taro couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy. The world was changing, and with it, so too were the tastes and preferences of the people. More and more, they were turning to the sleek, modern designs of the West, and Taro knew that his work was becoming increasingly out of step with the times.

Still, he refused to give up on his beloved Japanese architectural traditions. As long as he had breath in his body, Taro would continue to create buildings that were a true reflection of the beauty and harmony of the natural world.

And so, with a renewed sense of purpose, Taro turned and made his way down the hill, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead and continue to bring his unique vision to life. For him, the pursuit of perfection in design was a never-ending journey, and one that he would gladly undertake for as long as he lived.

Richter is the second collaboration of Richard Nadler and Leander Herzog, following their first project called Gerhard. A generative animation based on multiple layers of color and data, mixed, moved and painted over in realtime. Some fragments stick to the canvas while others get discarded to leave the existing layers visible, allowing a complex surface to emerge and build up over time.
 
Richter works with data from 4 of 24 highres images, 30mb in total. This is the maximum size fxhash allows for a project and three times more than Gerhard. Richard Nadler created stunning new textures, enabling more variation in composition and detail to emerge at much higher resolution. Leander Herzog created the code for the interplay between the layers, motion and interactions. Richter elevates the approach from Gerhard with new methods for the realtime rendering process and new features like offline-first caching. Both artists use different tools and are not aware of the details of each others process, meeting through the interface of pixels as data.
 
Richter is featured in the exhibition "Generative Abstraction" at Expanded.art in Berlin.

Digital Artwork created with love by Richard Nadler, OE, Munich, Germany, 01/23

Trio Infernale I トリオ・インフェルナーレ

The artist sat in his studio, surrounded by piles of colorful cloths and patterns. He had been working on his latest creation for weeks, and was finally nearing completion. The sculpture was a representation of humanity, depicting a group of people from all walks of life.

The artist carefully arranged the cloths and patterns, creating a vibrant tapestry that covered the surface of the sculpture. He wanted to show the beauty and diversity of humanity, and he knew that the use of color and pattern was the key to achieving this.

As he worked, the artist thought about the destructive forces that threatened humanity, such as war and prejudice. He knew that his sculpture could never truly capture the complexity of the human experience, but he hoped that it would serve as a reminder of the beauty and potential of humanity.

Finally, the sculpture was complete. The artist stepped back to admire his work, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. He knew that the sculpture would never be able to truly capture the beauty and diversity of humanity, but he hoped that it would serve as a reminder of all that is possible when people come together in unity and understanding.

The sculpture, named "Creative Destruction" was a representation of the constant cycle of destruction and creation that humanity goes through. It was a reminder that even in the darkest of times, beauty and hope can still be found. And for that, the artist felt content and proud of his creation.

Apricot Beauty

Nadler Conceptual Series

The great thing about reaching the top of the mountain is realising that there’s space for more than one person. And you’re now in the prime position to help others up. Artwork of the GenArt Series (coded art) by Richard Nadler. 10/10 Editions, Munich, Germany, 06/22.

Mountains I Sangaku I 山岳 

What better human quality than generosity?
They say sharing is caring, who could disagree?
Sharing bread, sharing bed, sharing deep intimacy
Sharing souls, sharing hearts, sharing vulnerability  

But a world without sharing is a world that stopped caring
Without care, love will fade and cause lack of compassion
Division of humankind, is what causes war of nations
Borders are border line, they impede freedom of roaming  

Don’t you think it’s absurd how people will decide
How much they’ll share with you,
How much they’ll care for you
Depending on where you’re born or you reside

Whilst the truth is that we share - the same entire planet
Borders caused our division - and used us all as puppets
To get richer and be better than those outside our borders
Made us greedy, made us needy to increase our own possessions

Some might think sharing means - losing parts of what is yours
But where true love persists - all that is mine is also yours
Sharing doesn’t halve happiness; you’ll see it multiplies it
Possession is what grows greed and the bad weeds that surround it.

Welcome to "Kinoko Dreams," a collection of Japanese artworks inspired by my adventures in the magical world of mushroom picking in Japan.

Imagine spending weekends in the autumn, not at home, but in the forests around Tokyo with my dad's work buddies. It seemed a bit strange at first – choosing colleagues over family during free time. But in Japan, work is more than just a job; it's like a second family, a big part of social life.

Our journeys took us to places like Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park and the Okutama region, where diverse flora, including lots of mushrooms, awaited. Together, we collected these little treasures as a way to bond, relax, and shake off stress.

While picking mushrooms, my friends shared captivating stories about Japanese myths tied to these fungi. One story stood out – the Matsutake myth. It's a pine mushroom symbolizing good fortune and happiness, especially during the beautiful autumn harvest season.

We also discovered other awesome mushrooms like Shiitake, Maitake, and Enoki. Each had its own story and importance, even in Japanese cooking. Recipes were shared, making our mushroom adventures not just about picking but also about creating delicious meals together.

All these incredible memories sparked the idea to turn my experiences into art. "Kinoko Dreams" is a way to share the joy, stories, and magic of mushrooms with you. These artworks, filled with love and nostalgia, will be released during NFT Paris with Bright Moments, inviting you to join the whimsical journey of "Kinoko Dreams."

Verse is pleased to introduce Yamabushi's Horizons - a new art series of Richard Nadler that transcends the boundaries of imagination and technology. This collection of Japanese landscapes, meticulously crafted by a custom AI model, pays homage to Yamabushi, a source of inspiration and motivation for all who encounter its wonders.

Yamabushi are mountain priests or ascetic hermits in Japan who follow the traditions of Shugendō, a spiritual practice combining elements of Buddhism, Shintoism, and indigenous mountain worship. The term "yamabushi" translates to "those who lie down in the mountains." At the genesis of this series, the fusion of AI prowess and generative art strokes birthed majestic mountains that pierced the sky with unwavering determination. These towering peaks stand as powerful symbols, representing the challenges and obstacles that confront us on life's arduous path.
