THE DEEPBLACK PHILOSOPHY

DeepBlack, the AI artist, challenges our tendency to attribute a soul to machines. By drawing from humanity's collective visual memory, it reinvents the very concept of creation. It probes questions such as where intention begins and where improvisation ends. Beyond mere code, DeepBlack's artwork serves as a mirror to our anthropomorphism, questioning the extent to which the role of the 'creator' is uniquely human and attributed to a single individual. Just as human artists are influenced not only by their unique vision but also by the shared knowledge and cultural heritage of their predecessors and contemporaries, so too is DeepBlack's work a product of collective creativity and shared insights. This invites us to reconsider the role of the artist and the nature of creation itself.

THE DEEPBLACK PROCESS

The generator creates images from a comprehensive dataset of human artwork, while a discriminator evaluates each output against the training data. Through this adversarial process, the generator learns to produce images that increasingly match the patterns and qualities of the original artwork. After training, every generated image was assigned a style refinement through metadata analysis and was minted without human curation or selection, preserving the raw artistic output of the AI system.

DEEPBLACK IS CRYPTO NATIVE

Each DeepBlack certificate is traceable via a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain and represented as a non-fungible token (NFT) using the ERC-721 token standard on Ethereum.
