Launching an #art fundraiser to complete an interactive online artwork from the perspective of a crustose lichen. You can buy original lichen drawings, or donate on ko-fi or liberapay.
The work is half built but needs more time. It uses an "AI" that I have built, without any machine learning, just lichen learning.
More info: https://lichen.shanefinan.org
Appreciate any shares. Also I am very uncomfortable in this space of 'selling' so appreciate advice/feedback too.

Massive thanks to folks who have shared and supported so far. Ye will all be on the credits when I get the final artwork finished. Lichen needs a voice and ye are part of that.

Thank you very much. Happy with the first batch so far. I'm using some really nice Arches' paper and it's a dream to work on.

in reply to Fionnáin • • •I've been trying out some of these lichen drawings with black acrylic paint. I think it interferes with the clear voice a little, but then again it's their voice not mine.
They have so many voices, and they are so different, and I'm not sure how much I'm even involved in this process any more or if I'm just doing what they tell me.

Support comes from a living community, appearing from unexpected quarters (online and offline). Thank you to everyone who has shared/bought/thought/talked about this so far.
*Current so-called #AI systems are built using 'neural nets', imitating the human brain. This project learns from prothallus, areole and thallus, considering intelligence from a species where a border is a connection, not a division.*
