What does your crypto wallet say about you? Artist Ian Cheng is creating a series of algorithm-based NFT portraits:
No artwork images have dropped yet, but Cheng has offered a concept sketch. Three layers of consciousness will create each unique digital portrait using a personality model of the artist’s design based on three core forces: Posture, Nurture, and Nature.
Posture is the most superficial facet of the portrait. It’s immediate, mutable, and determined in Cheng’s project by degrees of change over time. Two perpendicular axes delineate the classifications each sitter falls into: Content, Growing, Resentful, or Monstrous. “Stylistically,” Cheng continued, “I’m trying to wield my drawing style and the set of computational transformation tools in a way where you can’t tell where the hand stops and the creative coding begins, and you just feel the specific energy that is coming through a person’s psychological parts.”

Referring to Musk pulling out of his deal to buy Twitter and also recent claims of voting for a Republican for the first time, Trump said, 'He's got himself a mess, you know, he said the other day, 'I've never voted for a Republican.'
