THE FIRST EPIC POEM-AI NFT PROJECT
Overview
The AInferno project is a collaborative effort in which we have mindfully delineated contextual, conceptual and intellectual aspects of the artistic process and combined these systems into a collection of works that effectively blurs the lines between traditional works of art as well as the ever expanding state of art in technology.
The Cards in the collection are developed with text to Image and style transfer computer vision techniques from photographs of the New York skyline at sunset to give the dual orange and gray tone.
AInferno is the first NFT Epic Poem dedicated to support non-profits for poetry, literature, education.
The Divine Comedy
The source material, Italian long form poem "The Divine Comedy, (1320)" by Dante Alighieri is widely considered one of the worlds greatest works of literature. The narrative which incorporates a number of complex systems and concepts such as numerology, theology, mythology, and philosophy represents the ascendance of the soul to God, "The Creator" in the subjective form of Dante.
Process of AInferno
Dante Alighieri's use of numerology, specifically the importance of the number "3" was fundamental in developing the system in which AInferno was built upon.
The Collection
What happens if you "feed" poetry and photography to AI? These are Digital Collectible Cards dedicated to Dante Alighieri's Inferno (Dante's Cards).
Dante's Inferno is divided in 34 Cantos written stanzas, mostly tercets, There is a Dante's Card for each stanza.
This is a 1:1 AI Art collection.
50% of primary and secondary sales will be destined to non-profits supporting poetry, literature, education.
