◹◺ ◹◺
◹◺ Pick your own unique art a bone in the sky or is it just an abstract shape. ◹◺
◹◺ ◹◺
◹◺ An original conceptual installation art piece in which the NFT outputs are just the ◹◺
◹◺ end state of a larger art work. This is a one of a kind fusion of physical reality being ◹◺
◹◺ transformed into a tokenized digital art piece. ◹◺
◹◺ ◹◺
◹◺ The images are generated in real time from a running GAN model (StyleGAN2) and it will ◹◺
◹◺ only be run during the limited time during Art Blocks Weekend 2025 in Marfa TX. This model ◹◺
◹◺ will be retired after the event. ◹◺
◹◺ ◹◺
◹◺ The GAN is running a latent space walk through the model and when the viewer presses a large ◹◺
◹◺ button the image is captured and written to IPFS. The image is printed and signed by the artist. ◹◺
◹◺ Then the collector can mint the piece to the Ethereum blockchain into their wallet. ◹◺
◹◺ ◹◺
◹◺ The artist created the GAN model by first photographing animal bones of deer, cow, pig, blesbok, ◹◺
◹◺ horseshoe crab, starfish, and springbok. Over half of the photos were captured using analog ◹◺
◹◺ film. The film grain, bone, trees and sky have been transformed into an imperfect simulation of ◹◺
◹◺ a new reality. ◹◺
◹◺ ◹◺
◹◺ This work is based on other work by the artist called "Vanishing Of The Genuine" ◹◺
◹◺ ◹◺
◹◺ So if you find this message know that with these NFT versions somewhere out there are ◹◺
◹◺ 4x6 inch prints with a 4x4 inch image of a Bone In The Sky ◹◺
