016 - Act 1 Finale
This is it. This is the end of Act 1. Was not long ago that the bitGANs began creating themselves on GPUs. And today something amazing happened. I witnessed them emerge from nothing, but more on that later. For a number of reasons this is a good time to close Act 1 and reflect on all the amazing things that have already happened with the bitGANs.
It began with the experiments on the 64 nounGANs…
when 128 skullGANs began creating themselves on my GPUs that were…
then followed by 64 roboGANs when…
12 SuperRare bitGANs started painting themselves with my robots.
16 spookyGANs got dressed up for Halloween when…
1024 podGANs suprised us all by taking over the forge and breaking into our dimension.
Then 92 solGANs stumped us with a nearly impossible puzzle while…
32 testGANs escaped the rinkeby testnet.
And to conclude Act 1, the bitGANs revealed themselves to be Ghosts in the Machine with 112 ghostGANS.
The ghostGANs are the final bitGANs of Act 1. Born from a process experimenting with nounGANs, these are a culmination of all previous drops, where in each, the bitGANs discovered new tricks and methods to perfect their form. The 112 Ghosts in the Machine are a reveal of what they have been all along, ghosts.
With this drop bitGANs Act 1 is closing with 512 bitGANs. Originally 2048 were planned, however, the remaining bitGANs will take on a new form that has yet to be determined. Within the 512, there are 64 Act 1 - Review bitGANs that are a reprise of the first act. These will be release slowly over the next several months in conjuncture with a number of events and art festivals that the bitGANs have been invited to.
Creating these 512 with the community around them has been an amazing experience, and I can’t wait to see what the next Act brings.
Thanks…
