PROOF is delighted to present the Diamond Exhibition, our first curated show for the Moonbirds community. This show marks our unified focus on art, artists, and art collecting. To celebrate our community, we have curated a show that showcases a wide range of artistic backgrounds and styles, including generative pieces, photography, hand-drawn works, and more. PROOF is dedicated to sharing the stories behind all of these collections. Diamond Exhibition is just the beginning of how Moonbirds will connect with these pieces and their creators.

Diamond Exhibition

Ephemeral Tides is an exploration of the mesmerizing dance between chaos and control where unpredictability meets order. Each iteration of Ephemeral Tides brings forth a unique and fleeting moment, inviting viewers to embrace the beauty of impermanence and the subtle harmony that arises from the convergence of seemingly opposing forces. Experience the ebb and flow of Ephemeral Tides.

Ephemeral Tides #94

Inspired by my nostalgic love of rich worlds constructed in early video games using simple shapes with limited palettes, and the mesmerizing music visualization plugins that emerged in an era when sharing creativity online was a joyous pastime, this artwork reflects the playful media I have enjoyed over the years and aims to contribute more joy to the world.

"Caminos" es la relacin del trabajo de artista con el uso de colores y geometra a travs de los los patrones, situaciones, personas y objetos en los mercados, las calles, los edificios, los colores y dems elementos que consituyen la ciudad. Esta obra es un tributo a esa cultura, similar a una ciudad que se va creando mediante capas, dando como resultado un caos formado a partir del color, de diversas geometras y ms elementos que van cambiando a travs del tiempo.

La composicicin final de este proyecto es conformada por 5 capas que van creandose con el paso de los segundos dentro de la obra. Con las teclas 1 - 5 puedes interactuar con cada capa que va generando la composicin final dando la posibilidad al usuario de tener 5 piezas dentro de una obra, pero sobre todo generar una experiencia que le permita tomarse el tiempo necesario para explorar, encontrar, disfrutar distintos patrones y elementos dentro de cada capa y dentro de la composicin final. Asi como explorar la ciudad, sus distintos espacios, situaciones y cambios con el paso de los aos.

Post Photographic Perspectives is Fellowship's inaugural group show celebrating a new wave of innovation in photography.

My work in Synthography explores other worlds, civilizations, or even parallel worlds. I'm creating visual stories based on intuition. This new technology is helping me to shape new narratives and a unique atmosphere as if I had the power of breathing underwater. It gives another layer to my work; as Claire Silver once said, "Photography is a camera for what is. AI is a camera for what isn't.

Post Photographic Perspectives is Fellowship's inaugural group show celebrating a new wave of innovation in photography.

Delicately, or not so delicately musing on the themes of decay, loss, southern gothic and the supernatural. Through the use of AI, my work challenges preconceived notions of what is possible with technology and art and aims to blur the lines between reality and artificiality. Drawn towards Baudrillards theory of Simulacrum, my work illuminates the solely synthetic: creating a simulation of whats of the simulation. Creating the uncanny.

End Transmissions is a collection based on a memory. Growing up, I can recall late nights trying to stay awake, lit by the steady glow of the television keeping me warm (and safe) as if some sort of digital campfire. Even while the evening slipped into the dark recesses of night where monsters lurked, there was something comforting about that persistent glimmer; keeping the room safe with its revealing reach into even the darkest corners of the room that would normally be swallowed by the darkness. There was safety within the bounds of that flickering light, shielding me and keeping at bay all of the things that slither through the night.

But eventually Id drift off and I can remember being jarred awake when, at the end of the day, the programming would ultimately end with sudden and auditory cry that often roused me out of my sleep. There was something about that feeling, about waking up while the once ever-present television was essentially shrugging as if to say Ive got nothing left for you that filled me with a sense of unease. It was as if all of the grownups who run the world were asleep, and here I was  alone and in a place I shouldnt be at a time that I shouldnt see. Peering behind the curtain where there was nothing left but me and whatever else roams the night at this ungodly hour.

That sense of being adrift in the unknown of night felt ominous. It felt unknown and I felt like a lone explorer who only wished to return to the safety and the comfort of sleep that would take me anywhere but here. Id close my eyes and hope to find respite in the arms of a dream. 

End Transmissions #101

A collection of 10,000 utility-enabled PFPs that feature a richly diverse and unique pool of rarity-powered traits. What's more, each Moonbird unlocks private club membership and additional benefits the longer you hold them. We call it nesting  because, obviously.


Moonbirds

Moonbirds is the art collectors PFP. Each of the 10,000 digital artworks in the collection grants holders access to unique experiences to connect with artists and own and champion their art. As a community, Moonbirds is a home for creatives, dreamers, and collectors seeking real connection as we all contribute to the future of web3 art, culture, and technology.

Moonbird art is entirely in-chain, meaning the images are outputted directly from the smart contract, with no need for storage on IPFS or the like. There are also a number of customisable backgrounds available to holders based on their on-chain activity (such as other NFT holdings)which disappear when the bird is transferred. You can check what each bird looks like with the different backgrounds (and see if they have any unclaimed rewards!) on our [site](https://proof.xyz/moonbirds)

Evolving Pixels is an exhibition centered around the theme of growth. The show invites a set of diverse digital artists who work with computational technologiesnamely, generative or AI-assistedto investigate what growth means to them. 

PROOF has partnered with Art Blocks and Venus Over Manhattan to bring Evolving Pixels to life. The long-form generative collections in the exhibition are being delivered with the Art Blocks Engine. From April 12-24, Venus Over Manhattan will display Evolving Pixels at their Soho gallery in New York City.

**"aaa"** is a generative art system inspired by abstract artists such as *Jackson Pollock*, *Brice Marden*, and *Kazimir Malevich*. Abstract art appeals to me over other forms because it compels the viewer to use their imagination. You could argue that this art form is like a mirror, a pieces perception being reflective of its observer. Similar to how red can symbolize anger, love, and danger. An abstract piece can evoke a multitude of feelings. I believe this to be a unique value of abstract art.

While a human can choose a colour to communicate a feeling, a machine lacks the cognitive ability to do so. Therefore, the program uses randomized probabilities in an attempt to create a wide array of styles. I have taken reference from the drawing styles of *K Malevich*, *Piet Mondrian*, *Brice Marden*, and *Joan Mitchell*. The styles demonstrated by these artists range from symmetric to loose and erratic, combined with 32 colour palettes compiled through experimentation and inspiration.

"It is a ghost of an image, a preview, a thumbnail squeezed through slow digital connections, compressed, reproduced, ripped, remixed, as well as copied and pasted into other channels of distribution.Hito SteyerlMade with noise, code, scrap paper, tea, tape, discarded electronics, graphite and light projection. Inspired by artist friends in the highly networked practice of generative art, as well as Hito Steyerl"s seminal defense of the poor image, GEIST mixes generative, traditional, digital and material processes.An exploration and reconciliation with the strange power of the static thumbnail in web3.An homage to all the poor images no less haunting for their humble resolution that became formative cultural influences for those of us who grew up on the Internet.
Lastly, a non-literal labyrinth linking past and upcoming long form generative art projects - GEIST gives rise to keys for those willing to explore a non-linear future.

Imperfect restorations of the same picture. Each restoration has limited information and a limited ability to reassemble the pixels correctly.
This is a re-utilisation of a pixel-sorting algorithm I made a few years ago. The combination of applying it on a relatively simple image and doing it multiple times makes the workings of the algorithm more apparent. The attached video shows how the algorithm works, repeatedly swapping pixels to recreate the original image.
