Art Manifesto
The "AI & Consciousness Manifesto" art experiment brings the human thought as the center of art and creativity, captured from the depth of human subconscious through an advanced AI solution that convers neural signals into an artistic interpretation.
Mission
Conquering the ultimate frontier: the human mind
For two weeks we will be taping into the human mind and collect their inner thoughts that are translated into individual impressions by world-renowed artists. At the end of the experiment, we will generate a collective consciousness canva—a digital tapestry of 100 thoughts, visualized through AI and minted as NFTs.
It is an invitation to an ethical debate on what is the actual limit in the dangerous game of mind reading with ai.
