buying yourself made by algorithms
"Buying Yourself Made by Algorithms" was a university project, questioning the meaning of portrait style NFTs. It dives into topics like diversity, appearance, authenticity, individuality and uniqueness while at the same time combining them with virtual products, algorithmic creativity and value. Do different looks bear different values? How original are designs if they are combinations of the same assets? Are humans also just a near infinite way of combining details within a predefined blueprint?
Big shoutout and thank you to Luca R. (website: forwards-dev.de) for helping with coding and designing the webpage.
BONUS: Did you notice I was missing in Algorthms? How much of the human influence and decision remains? And are machines' answers really flawless?
