Within the vast collection of the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City sits unassuming model of a temple dedicated to the sun god Copijcha.

Made between 100 BC- 100 AD around the city of Monte Alban, present-day Oaxaca region, it represents a ceremony where a flock of birds would be released from a floor in the temple upwards and out of the temple roof.
*
In the model sits a macaw. Its sound is deafening.

Hey everyone,
*
We’re embarking on an adventure to upend the current state of NFTs and generative art through a new web-based platform slated for beta release in early 2022.
*
This call is to gather an initial group of participants to help us experiment on our beta platform and create new forms of art through the collaboration of humans and AIs.
*
Beyond all the hype around NFTs, we think there truly is something interesting happening in the crypto space, and we think it’s time for artists to get in there and do what we do best - mess around, turn things and assumptions on their heads, and find beauty,  meaning, and new ways to create art and find audiences.
*
Our project AIMS are to explore:
*
1) Creating native digital art with fractional producers/artists – as NFTs. We’re championing collectives of artists versus the individual artist/hero role fashioned by institutions and elites and that we continue to live with today.
*
Think more of a self-directed crypto-medieval guild and less the lone modernist artist.
*
2) The collaboration between humans and AIs for the purposes of creating truly unique and native digital art
*
To us, technology is another tool just like our paints, pencils, and clay. We’re interested in transforming the materials we work with to create something special & magical through a process of experimentation and iteration. 
*
Our project VALUES are:
*
1) Accessibility, and to empower artists through a system of collaboration & mutual support
*
2) creating community
*
3) by-passing traditional institutions to allow artist collectives to exhibit work online and reach audiences directly
*
4) making good/interesting art
*
Our platform will be browser-based - meaning it doesn’t matter if you use iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, etc
*
We’re opening a limited number of spots for our FIRST round of collaborations - these will initially be non-blockchain based, but participants will have 1st dibs to join a collaborative NFT once we connect to a blockchain in 2022.
*
This project is in collaboration with & supported by .council 🙏🏼
*
I hope you’ll join us in our adventure,
Mo from Mobil Art

- I had the pleasure of attending a lecture by Jairo Salazar ( ) @ the Vancouver Latin American Cultural Centre ( ) last week and was mesmerized by the work being discussed .
These are a few examples.
Highly recommend watching the video once it’s up.
