I have been working on a series of A.I artworks based on mask cultures of India for a few years. This is the first work from a new version of the series.
This work comes at a time when my country, India, is undergoing a major Covid wave and the health infrastructure has been hit very hard. The work captures visually, what i and my country at large is feeling like today.
Thus 100% funds from sale of this work will go to the wonderful and timely @CryptoRelief_ fund started by @sandeepnailwal which has already seen significant contributions from @balajis @VitalikButerin and many more folks in the crypto space (all of the above are twitter handles).
Larger description of Masked Reality series-
Masked Reality is a series of artworks that uses artificial intelligence (A.I) to explore the subject of faces, traditions and identity, especially its
malleability in the age of technology. These works are created by an A.I
drawing inspiration from mask cultures of the central region of India.
This juxtaposition of the traditional with the modern, both used to engage
with the world from new vantage points, is an attempt to think of alternate visual cultures of AI too.
