[alignDRAW](https://aligndraw.fellowship.xyz/) (2015). The first text-to-image artwork.

By early 2015, neural networks had mastered the art of 'image-to-text' and could create natural language captions for images. Flipping this process, and turning text into image, was a much more complex challenge solved by 19-year old prodigy Elman Mansimov's alignDRAW model.


Fellowship is pleased to present a special release of **fully on-chain*** NFTs of this historical artwork, containing all the original 32x32 pixel images created in 2015.

*These images represent the birth of text prompt AI generated imagery.* - Darius Himes, Christies

*alignDRAW images can be compared to the first fixed photographs taken by Nipce in 1826-1827.* - Dr Lev Manovich

*We created an architecture that allows for the progressive on-chain storage of data and images, strategically addressing the challenge of high gas costs at launch through a phased roll-out that capitalizes on periods of lower gas prices.
