Hybrid NFT (NFT + physical object)
For the first time, the Berlin artist collective Crosslucid is offering an NFT from the series "cached dreams" (2022-).

"cached dreams, stream of prompts #03" is the third video from the series "cached dreams" (2022- ongoing), which was generated with artificial intelligence. Exclusive to the NFT of the AI-generated video, the collector will receive the physical documentation box "Artist Reference", created by Crosslucid during the creation of the artwork. It contains a publication, clippings and annotations of what the artist duo worked with during the creative phase. A gift to the collector to illustrate the journey and explorations into the worlds behind the artwork.

The digital work delights with delicate flows and wanderings through subconscious fluidities, unearthing an unknown language of hidden narratives, imaginaries, and cosmologies.

During their work, Crosslucid were astonished with the result of Artificial Intelligence: If AI marketing is fed with the general allusion to Surrealism, the work and sensibility of the numerous Surrealist female artists is ignored and once again overshadowed and marginalised by the male-dominated art historical canon. The artists' collective has found a way to make visible and celebrate the legacy and tender visions of female artists that are relevant to our current times. They have embedded the alchemical writings of surrealist artist, poet, writer and alchemist Ithell Colquhoun into AI, allowing them to bring to light the semantic evocations of current text-to-image models while also considering the many surrealist women.

The collector is kindly asked to keep the NFT and its physical counterpart together in case of resale. This is a digital and physical sibling.
