Algoritmo Divino by Ganbrood

‘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.

Ganbrood (Bas Uterwijk), from the Netherlands, has been re-evaluating his role as a photographer and has been working with AI for the last four years. Primarily self-taught, he has always been involved in forms of visual storytelling that imitate and distort reality. Since 2019 he has combined his different skills and experiences when working with generative adversarial networks (GANs): Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence based software that interprets and synthesizes photographs. With the help of these neural networks, he constructed portraits with a photographical quality that were never recorded by an actual camera.

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.
