Metareality is a video creation generated using AI, and based on the Marcos de la Fuente poem with the same name and inspired in New York City style. This piece is the first collaboration between TheVERSEverse and the Poetry+AI=Art collective. The piece is a video of 3:07 min duration, where each verse of the Metareality poem is generated like a unique image using an AI model. The computer engineer Ismael Faro generated each image using an AI model and styling it, in this case it was using a couple of neural networks called CLIP + diffusion. The AI model requires two inputs, the verse and a phrase that influence the image style. The video composition has been made by computer engineer Mariel Martinez.
Metareality
A gram of Ethereum falls on the floor of a restroom in an art gallery in New York, Two friends discuss the DAOs in a backyard on Kent Avenue, Elon Musk tweets about fossil fuels and my roommate loses thousands of dollars,
Mint me, turn me into something unique, Token me again and give out my little bits to engineers, Hyper put me in an infinite sequence until it overloads,
We are trying to discover the deformed mask that hides scammers of this non-religion whose gods are being invoked in real time and live streaming,
What if we are the scammers? What if this is just an inflated balloon between us?
The fathers are Sathoshi Nakamoto We continue distributing helium amongst mortals
Minotaurs that don’t have to learn to way back, Now they drive horse-drawn carriages without fear of getting burnt, creating the legend’s code, constructing the primary material with which new realities are written,
Meanwhile, the artists think that only creativity protects purity, the main reason for creating the piece of art, this idea spreads like a fine film over this level of impertinent reality like Hephaestus’s net over the unfaithful Ares,
The rest will be mud and sand, blood and guts, broken glass put back together without shine or rhyme,
Let’s get out of this binary logic! Let’s reach towards a new level of reason! Let’s debate until we arrive at something that isn’t either of us, something that is found out of this world, but affects this world,
The terrifying hybrid because it’s unknown will be the next evolutionary step
Mint me, turn me into something unique, Token me again and give out my little bits to engineers, Hyper put me in an infinite sequence until it overloads.
