This piece as a collaboration between the VFX artist Val.(@val_himself), pixel ai artist Pixlosopher (@pixlosopher) and myself.
The piece represents the idea of how technology and the future can coexist with our historical past. The Roman city is a symbol of the classical past and the new artistic Renaissance that Ai Art and NFTs represent, as Renaissance artists were greatly inspired by greco-roman culture. The calm sea with a rising sun suggesting a new beginning, a new era for Art. The storm suggesting that we will still face hardship to fully push our vision into mainstream.
The ai generated drones and VFX blimp represent the technology of the future and its integration in our daily lives.
The Memes displayed on the screen under the blimp are from the 6529 Meme Collection, a CCO project led by @Punk6529. The pieces displayed here are SeizeJPGs, 6529Seizing and NakamotoFreedom by 6529er.
Memes are a powerful vector for culture as they are a form of communication that is easily shared and spread through social media. They are highly engaging and memorable as they often use humor and satire to convey a message or idea. They can be used to express a wide range of cultural sentiments and opinions, and they can be used to create a sense of community and belonging among people who share similar views or interests.
In the context of art, memes can be used to create new ways of expressing ideas and feelings, as well as creating new forms of engagement, storytelling, satire or political and social commentary.
The piece reflects how technology is leading to a new renaissance in art and culture, where it pushes the boundaries of what art can be and how we experience it, using memes to help us reach a wider audience.
