A couple weeks ago, we were able to sit down with artist, Winston Chmielinski, otherwise known as Weseeclearly or Wes for short. I opened our video chat to find Wes—who is normally based out of Berlin—sitting fireside in a home in the countryside of Japan. It felt aligned looking back at how our conversation was about to unfold. Originally set to be just a 30 minute chat, our tangents took us new places, leading us all over. A conversation spanned his practice in painting, computer vision experiments, newly trained custom AI model, and how they’re all a meditation on what it means to see clearly, imperfectly, or perhaps sometimes not at all.

In Brulue, nothing stays still. Brutal shapes emerge from soft blue haze. Creatures flicker at the edge of recognition. Here, the laws of nature dissolve into dream logic, and visual stories unfold like whispered myths. With Vague Tale of Brulue, artist Rangga Purnama Aji crafts an ecosystem of the unfamiliar, a speculative world unmoored from geography and time, where the viewer is not just invited, but required to interpret, to imagine, to wander. Today, we’re excited to unveil a brief interview with artist Rangga about their series of works on TITLES.

Evo is an AI artist from Curaçao, a Dutch Caribbean island rich in Creole heritage. Known for her use of vibrant colors, layered symbolism, and a blend of figurative and abstract elements, Evo’s work stands at the crossroads of memory, myth, and machine. She was recently recognized by Tender as one of the most notable AI artists today.

A few months ago during the development of the our next protocol, we set out to commission a series of artworks that could bring to life the ideas coded into the new protocol that would be displayed and distributed via the protocol itself. After some research, we found out about Andreas Gysin’s practice and worked with him on a series of ASCII works.

For the past 6 months, our team has been working closely with artist Emily Xie on an experiment called MODEL-WIP. Born during the height of AI mania and in reaction to the headlines around it’s erosion of creativity. MODEL-WIP was created in effort to explore more deeply many artists' relationship to AI in their own practice.

A new way for artists to curate and elevate their favorite creations that sample their models.

Today, I am stoked to share access to a new AI model from Greg Liburd and interview with him diving into his dreams and Afrofuturism centered artistic practice. Greg is one of the co-founders of Refraction, an artist-owned community that puts together cultural moments centered in the crypto community and leads Black Space Agency, an experimental interdisciplinary Afrofuturist ecosystem. Below you’ll find a suite of insights that define him, his practice, and newly available model on TITLES.

Remember when a single neural network completely rewired how people play the thousand-year-old game of Go? In just a matter of weeks, agents like Truth Terminal, Aethernet, and Flavia is Online have amassed hundreds of thousands of followers, grew their net worth to tens of millions, and subsequently changed the way we experience the great “online game”, which in its simplest form is an endless effort to capture attention and accumulate wealth. The next iteration of agents, just like AlphaGo, are about to reveal a series of insights about the collective game we all play in the pursuit of creative expression, attention capture, and making money.

Just a few short weeks ago, JuuJuuMama, put together an artist meetup at the TITLES offices in Brooklyn, New York. The event was put together in partnership with Refraction, The Hug, Base, and All Are Welcome Here. It was an exciting event covering a range of topics including how to train your own AI model on your artwork and strategies for artists to earn by publishing their work onchain with tools like Rodeo.
