obxium is art onchain since 2018.
It is pronounced ob-zee-uhm.
I was fortunate to discover Gavin Andresen's original Bitcoin faucet, and I saved my wallet.dat file on a floppy disk, which I then went on to later lose. I never found the disk or the BTC again, though so I lost interest in blockchain for a few years.
I 100% blame Jason Bailey aka artnome and his early articles on cryptoart. There was also quite literally a podcast named Art on the Blockchain. *boisterous DJ air horn noises*
I started graffitiing up the Bitcoin blockchain through CounterParty (XCP) and Rare Pepes. I created the certified rare PEPEGIANT (series 36, card 12), and was also open to trying many blockchains and platforms after that.
Non, I am 100% American.
I can only give thoughts on this topic through the lens of cryptoart, so whether you're referring to the masters of early GAN art like Robby Barrat or Quasimondo, or popular artists who readily adapt it through their journey like Jen Stark, AI art is here and you either adapt to use it in ways that benefit your artistic vision or risk being on the wrong side of history for going against a technological advancement. Yes, the training on artists' outputs sucks, but it happened, these tools are the results, and human artists are using them in ways that still let their artistic voices come through.
Early on in 2018, I created the awesome-cryptoart-list repository on GitHub in the format of an awesome list, and I added hundreds of resources representing early artists, platforms, and more. I eventually moved the list to my GitLab account, where it resides today. I don't maintain the list any longer, but it'd be pretty damned huge now if I did. I also gave the space the term 'blonkchain'.
