Revolutionizing Art and Gaming:

A Journey through AI, Sports, and the Metaverse

GM and welcome back! Seem like everybody has been busy with Zuckerberg`s new app, Threads.

I on the other hand have been busy building the new website and designing the governance model (which all subsrcibers will be eligible for).

But there was still a few big happenings this week that I curated into today’s newsletter.

Today, we cover the following:

🎨Robbie Barrat's AI-Created Sensation: Nude Portrait Sells for 175 ETH 

🎾Andy Murray x Wimbledon x Refik Anadol: Data Meets Art in a Historic Collaboration

🎮 Legends of Mara: Teases the Future of Gaming.

🎬Creator of the Week: @thisREO Illustrates the Power of Text-2-video in a New Short

🎨Robbie Barrat's AI-Created Sensation: Nude Portrait Sells for 175 ETH 

This week, Robbie Barat`s work, an AI-Generated Nude Portrait ( #7 Frame #111) sold for a remarkable 175 ETH ($343,761). And the Internet has been going crazy over the price tag.

But there is a rich backstory to his works, involving the 2018 Christie's Tech Summit. Before Stable Diffusion or Midjourney, Robbie Barrat has been pioneering AI art since 2018.

The highlight of his creations is known as "The Lost Robbies".

So whether you're a critic or a fan, Barrat's work is worth your attention. Learn more about Robbie Barrat and his journey here

🎾Andy Murray x Wimbledon x Refik Anadol: Data Meets Art in a Historic Collaboration

This week marks the birth of an innovative collaboration between Sport and Art.

Tennis icon Andy Murray, the prestigious Wimbledon Championships, and acclaimed media artist Refik Anadol introduced "The Exposition". A unique digital art that utilizes advanced algorithms to depict 18 years of Murray's Wimbledon journey.

It launched on 7/7, ten years after Murray's first Wimbledon win.

The project paints sport-data in a new, visually engaging way. The future evolution of this collaboration will incorporate live data from this year's Championships.

You can find more information about the collaboration here.

🎮 Legends of Mara: Teases the Future of Gaming.

Several leading NFT projects dropped hints about its involvement in the much-anticipated Yuga Labs game - Otherside: Legends of Mara (LOTM).

Around the table you can see:

  • Renga

  • 10kft

  • Forgotten Runes Wizard’s Cult

  • BAYC (+ HV MTL and Koda)

  • Meebits

  • World of Women

LOTM is a 2D game in Yuga Labs highly anticipated metaverse, The Otherside.

While details still remain to be released, it seems clear that the game will be a first of its kind, bringing different NFT communites together.
