Dive into the world of monEpunx, an expansive NFT universe. Hosted on Objkt.com, this unique collection features punk characters consuming various forms of currency in a manner that encourages reflection on consumerism, value, and modern society.

I saw my first text-to-video prompted ai video last week, and I did a little project with them this week. Using some hugging-face tools and after effects, all the visuals and sounds were generated from text prompts. I kind of just think about this series as a bit of a blink in time as the progress of these models is becoming exponential—a way to remember May 2023. 

They definitely capture the vibe and feeling of the punk shows I grew up going to. So I consider this set as serial documentary based in the mid-late nineties, suburban Philadelphia (perhaps?).

I also minted it as a collection on Objkt.com This was my first time creating an NFT collection on tezos. I released them as editions of 10 and pretty affordable (because its punk). It’s easy on Objkt because they even accept credit cards and ETH payments for the tezos mints.

I think I’ll use this collection to play with new techniques and ai models as they come out. It’s a loose concept playing off some low-hanging NFT conventions, i.e., punks and currency.
