A New Era of Art, Powered by AI 

Following up on the launch of our AI Generative Art category, MakersPlace is introducing an AI Art Hackathon at NFC Lisbon featuring world-renowned Artists BLΛC, Illustrata, DVK the artist, and TheDigitalCoy in collaboration with Trevor Jones, Hackatao, Coldie, 0009, DeltaSauce, and poet Sasha Stiles.

Collectors of Editions sold during the event will receive exclusive benefits, including the chance to win a unique 1/1 phygital by Coldie, exclusive presales, and much more over the coming months on MakersPlace.

MakersPlace AI Art Hackathon @ NFC Lisbon

The world's first AI art hackathon by MakersPlace will be held at NFC Lisbon, Portugal, on June 7–8. Artists BLΛC, Illustrata, DVK the artist, and TheDigitalCoy will create art in person, inspired by Sasha Stiles' poem in collaboration with 0009 and DeltaSauce. The poem will be available for purchase, accompanied by robotically-painted physical works from Artmatr.

The artists will receive the poem a day before the event for artistic inspiration. The hackathon, located on the conference floor, will begin with the artists' AI prompt. Attendees can observe the artistic process in real-time on screens, witnessing the creation of art. After two days, the artworks will be completed and auctioned as unique pieces (1/1s) on MakersPlace on June 15, 2023.

Trevor Jones and Hackatao Collab

During the hackathon, breaks will be scheduled for unexpected artistic activities. On June 7-8, artist Trevor Jones and remix artists Hackatao will surprise participants with mystery artifacts to be incorporated into their artworks. Without prior notice, artists will respond and adapt in real time.

Pause moments will capture snapshots of the evolving artworks, minted and sold as Limited Editions on MakersPlace. These sketches showcase the artists' creative processes, allowing collectors to own a piece of the process.

Coldie Remix in Partnership with Artmatr

Artist Coldie will combine the artworks of four participants into a single collage. Artmatr will use their MATRing robot to transform the artists' sketches into paintings and then given to Coldie, who will blend them into a unique physical artwork. This piece will bear the signatures of Coldie and the participating artists, creating an exceptional 1/1 artwork to be raffled off.

Following this, Coldie will remix physical versions of the artists' final 1/1s provided by Artmatr and create corresponding digital stereoscopic artworks. These blended physical-digital pieces, will be sold as 1/1s later this year.
