Human Unreadable by Operator

**Human Unreadable (Privacy Collection - Lot 03)**

**Human Unreadable** is a three-act, embodied generative artwork hiding the human body in plain sight (on-chain). Bringing together choreography, code, blockchain, generative art, and cryptography, the work culminates in a live performance. Each output is driven by the motion data of its underlying unique, on-chain choreographic sequence. The sequences behind the first 100 minted works (mint #2 to #101) will be performed during the IRL premiere. The hosting art institution will be announced in 2023. 

A journey of slowly recovering the human unfolds as such: 1) reveal on Art Blocks, 2) uncover the choreographic score, and 3) final performance. After the reveal, the human is still unreadable, visible only through the results of movement on glass, obfuscated by code, rendered as a still image. In the next phase of the work, collectors get a glimpse at their underlying choreography by unlocking the secondary tokenan on-chain choreographic score. In the final phase, the performance, life is breathed into the human movement that has been lying dormant inside the pieces. **Human Unreadable** brings flesh and viscerality into code and "vulnerability as a feature" into long-form generative art. What you dont immediately see in the visual artwork outputs is the invisible potentiality of performance, inscripted on-chain and able to be brought to life by a dancer at any moment. 

 **Human Unreadable** intentionally punctures the safety of modernist design and the idea of a universal voice, pushing the limits of human expression within rigid technical systems. With a focus on the body, the collection brings risk, chaos, confusion, and vulnerability to the reveal, everything that function-focused design systems normally prevent. Each piece is an invitation, a transparent layer through which the messy human experience can come into focus through the three phases of the work. This work is a continuation of the pivot away from modernism, clean lines, and the quietly gendered values therein, in favor of a more embodied and sensual approach to human-machine collaboration pioneered by early women in digital art. **Human Unreadable**"s 6 distinct looks derive from the core materiality of Operators Privacy Collection: glass, light, x-ray and the human body. The transparent and illuminating nature of these materials reveal what is below the surface.

What are you revealing when you reveal?

**Human Unreadable** has roots in various histories such as computational choreography (Analivia Cordeiro, Jeanne Beaman), Merce Cunningham"s Chance Dance, and the Experiments in Art and Technology movement. With Tis extensive background as an HCI technologist and multimedia artist and Catherines background as a choreographer and performance artist, Operator architected a bespoke team, 25+ individuals ranging from specialized engineers to dancers, who embarked on a 9 month process to realize the work. Operator"s on-chain generative choreography method is the technical backbone of **Human Unreadable**the process and open source tooling for which will be made available via white paper in 2023.  


***Additional Information***

**First Minter Benefits** 
The first 100 minted pieces (mint #2 to #101) from the collection will be performed in the IRL premiere in an art institution. 
-Mint #2 to #101 will be counted as the first 100 mints. Mint #0 and #1 are artist mints held by Operator.
-Hosting art institution will be announced in 2023. 
-Additionally, Privacy Key 00 holders will have one of their collected Human Unreadable sequences performed.

**Choreographic Score (secondary token)** 
-The secondary token will be released at the end of June 2023.
-The secondary token is a choreographic score that represents the unique choreography that generated the output minted on Art Blocks. For this reason, the Art Blocks token and the secondary token are bound together and cannot be transferred separately.
-The underlying choreographic score visible through the secondary token can be performed by a choreographer or dancer at the collector"s discretion.

**GPU Intensive Rendering / Live Preview** 
This piece involves GPU intensive composition and rendering of programmatically drawn body parts, generative glass objects, x-ray shaders as well as motion paths. As a result the live preview on your laptop or phone may look less detailed than the PNG on Art Blocks which is rendered by a high powered computer. Not to worry!

**Official Token-gated Prints** 
Human Unreadable collectors will be able to purchase Operator official, signed, token-gated prints (on hand-selected materials) of their collected piece(s).

Algoritmo Divino by Ganbrood, 2023

*Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.* - Dante Alighieri, Inferno, Canto III.

New AI tools are transforming the creative process for artists, pushing the boundaries of what are possible and inspiring new forms of expression. Algoritmo Divino is the first on-chain series by Ganbrood, generated in real-time during the mint. 333 unique iterations will surprise and guide you through three realms of Inferno, Purgatorio & Paradiso. The rarity, and seed are encrypted on-chain, giving the collector a unique opportunity to collect the artwork's 'secret ingredient'. 333 unique live-generated iterations of 'Algoritmo Divino' drop on 18th April 2023, introduced by k011.com. For the first time, the collector collects AI artwork in real-time, with the encryption of rarities the artist uniquely integrates.


Algoritmo Divino

Algoritmo Divino by Ganbrood, 2023  
==================================  
  
  
*Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.* - Dante Alighieri, Inferno, Canto III.  
* * *  
  
This quote speaks to the idea of transformation, letting go of old ways of thinking and embracing a new perspective. The Divine Comedy is just an allegory to parallel the similarity of long-form synthetic image generation using neural networks, as an art and image creation evolution.  
  
New AI tools are transforming the creative process for artists, pushing the boundaries of what are possible and inspiring new forms of expression. Algoritmo Divino is the first on-chain series by Ganbrood, generated in real-time during the mint. Three hundred thirty-three unique iterations will surprise and guide you through three realms of Inferno, Purgatorio & Paradiso. The rarity, and prompt are encrypted on-chain, giving the collector a unique opportunity to collect the artwork"s "secret ingredient", holding the core "prompt", which is encrypted and is eternally saved on the blockchain.  
  
In Dante"s Divine Comedy, the transformation of souls as they journey through the afterlife is a central theme. The characters" experiences and behaviours lead to their conversion towards greater virtue and understanding or deeper learning and suffering.  
Similarly, long-form synthetic image generation using diffusion neural networks, generates images that progress and evolve. The process involves repeatedly applying a diffusion process to an initial image, resulting in a series of intermediate images gradually evolving towards a final, synthesized image. Each image represents a different stage in the generation process, and the final image depicts the journey"s culmination.  
  
Divine Comedy"s idea of journey and progression is a powerful metaphor in "Algoritmo Divino" by Ganbrood, which represent many levels of alteration: working with prompt to image generation to personal growth and development. His own transformation as an artist from photography to synthetic images, accepting the new realm of AI and new tools as a creative process, all reflect in Algoritmo Divino.  
  
Ganbrood challenges himself with the long-form generation, which contradicts his standard process. The irreversibility of the results leaves little or no control over the output from the black box. Nevertheless, his signature themes of animals and gods are present in every 333 iterations, symbolizing humanity"s desire to become godlike.

333 unique live-generated iterations of "Algoritmo Divino" drop on 18th April at 7 pm CET. For the first time, the collector collects AI artwork in real-time, with the encrypted prompt, and rarities the artist uniquely integrates."
