Holo Hearts
I created a crypto art series called Holo Hearts. Each piece is a single edition heart graphic paired with a computer-generated love poem embedded into the file’s code. They are minted as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Ethereum blockchain, and a readable PDF of the poem can only be unlocked with purchase.
For you, my love
a goblet, a heart, your body
as the soul pulses forever
As I swear forever, my you
joined together, I offer you
I give you my love
we melt into one pulse.
Each poem is a love letter written entirely by a computer. The odd combination of generated phrases into an emotionally charged poem leads to some strangely beautiful, yet surreal lines.
These poems were generated in early 2021, before ChatGPT as we know it today. Personally, I find the clunky, odd generations of that time more endearing than the perfect stanzas output by GPT. Still, AI technology is fascinating in every medium!
