Linda Dounia - Journey Begins

Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you.
You must travel it by yourself.
It is not far. It is within reach.
Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know.
Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.
 Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

Made with outputs from a GAN trained with physical acrylic paintings by the artist.

Ultra Sound Money

The episode that started it all. Justin Drake, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, proposes how the implementation of EIP 1559 and Proof of Stake advances ETH into the next evolution of sound money: Ultra Sound Money. 

This is the episode that coined the Ultra Sound Money meme and one of the most iconic episodes from the Bankless Vault. 

Artwork generated from the timestamp [30:23 - 30:47] When you combine these two things together, economic security and economic efficiency, then out pops kind of something amazing, which is economic scarcity, but not just the standard vanilla kinda of capped supply, economic scarcity, but a new paradigm, which you could call ultra sound money.

alara

hello, im alara. im a singer-songwriter and visual artist from new jersey. 

music has always been a part of my life. i began writing songs when i was 11 and taught myself guitar all throughout high school. i"ve always felt like i didn"t belong and creating music was the best way for me to express that emotion. to express all emotions. it was a world i created where i could escape. growing up as a child of immigrant parents, i never saw being a musician as a viable career choice until one and a half years into medical school when i decided that i had to try. i spent almost every night for a year playing open mics in new york city, building a community of artists who made me feel like i wasn"t alone for the first time. that year made me realize making music wasn"t a choice, it"s something i had to do.

fast forward to november of last year. i was just learning about NFTs for the first time and spending every free moment immersing myself in the world of web3. the idea that artists could finally break the confines of the traditional music industry drew me in almost immediately. i"d like my experiences here to convince the 15-year old indian girl struggling to play barre chords in her east coast bedroom that she can be a musician if she wants to be. 

taking inspiration from artists like thom yorke and damien rice, my sound has evolved as i learn more about who i am. i wrote demons as a way to tell myself that it"s alright to be vulnerable. this song is as much for me as it is for someone very close to me. its about finding solace in the idea that everyone is going through something. your demons may not look like mine, but we shouldnt be afraid to admit that they exist. we shouldn"t be afraid to open up. 

i hope it helps you in some way.

"Light Show" is a song that accurately represents myself as a creative. It started out as most of my songs do, and that is with me tinkering around in Ableton. When I build something from scratch, often I cant contain myself and end up writing the lyrics when the production is only around 50% completed. Not surprisingly this song fell into that category and was written in just under 30 minutes. It"s fully written and produced by me.

I went a bit more aggressive on the lyrical content while adding pretty melodic moments to offset the seriousness of the song. "Light Show" is best played when you need a confidence boost. I detail times where I"ve let grudges slide and took the highroad, and also reflect on the fact that putting my pain out in the open is what"s allowed me to grow and reach levels of success as an artist. It"s 100% accurate when I state "I spent hard earned cash just to keep this up, I spent blood sweat and tears just to keep this going". 

This song is a window into my life, and I hope you can use this shit as a tool to let loose and rage.

LATENT COUTURE is a collection of 555 AI fashion statements generated from photographs of Woodbridge's years of experience as a performer, painter, designer, and nightlife icon. The opposite of a deepfake, this mode of generative AI reaches into the latent space to find the deepreal. Each image branches from a moment in Woodbridge's life, articulating ephemeral threads and potential ways of being. Developed from the concept that 'a look is a meme,' each of these fashion statements says, 'This person is possible.'

Diamond Exhibition

Underneath our sealed skin is an incomprehensible darkness that reaches to the bone. Umbra is a term used to describe the dark inner shadow our moon casts during an eclipse. Our bodies create an umbra, casting an inward shadow that propagates (like good soil) the light we create and project into the outer world. Our hands are agents of this umbra within, and here hold totems of the four elements: earth, water, fire, air. 

Bone: Earth  element, from dust, to dust 
Crystal Ball: Water element, peering into the waters of the subconscious 
Green flame: Fire element, vitality and passion to guide us through the dark
Dagger: Air element, intellect and choice words cut like a blade through air
