a kilobyte on the blockchain

byteGANs
In their ever expanding quest for who knows what, the bitGANs have made another interesting move.
They have inscribed themselves directly on to the blockchain.
Why? We are not sure, but by recording their dance on the public ledger, they have insured that it will go on forever, exactly as it was intended.
While this action is mysterious, three major types of byteGANs have revealed themselves, with a small subset of rarer types.
The Three Intelligences
The skullGANs represent Evolutionary Intelligence. Their existence is a battle being fought within the human mind, where higher order brain functions are at constant odds with reptilian instincts. Does free will even exist, or is everything just a complex biochemical reaction.
The cyberGANs represent Artificial Intelligence. Intelligence created in a relative short period of time, full of promise, but also completely lacking wisdom. While AI may be able to solve all of the worlds problems, it also has the potential to destroy it in the process.
The octoGANs are closely related to podGANs and like the podGANs, they represent a new kind of thinking, Decentralized Intelligence. Similar to how an octopus coordinates nine different brains to solve complex tasks, these beings combine inputs from decentralized sources for the common good.
Pindar Van Arman is an AI generative artist who has been collaborating with artificially intelligent painting robots since 2006.
His art has been exhibited internationally and is featured in the critically acclaimed documentary Machine, The Art of Intelligence, the NVIDIA AI Art Gallery, and in the the LACMA permanent collection.
