So it's probably one of the longest presentations that produced so far.

I do not view AI as a creator.

I view it as a high-speed performer that lacks a script.

The relationship is identical to the relationship between a choreographer and a dancer, for example.

A dancer possesses physical capability, but without scripted dance, choreography, there is only motion, no production.

AI can generate endless motion, but it cannot generate intent.

At surr.ai, we treat medium as a generative substrate, while the human artist acts

the conscious knowledge center.

By imposing a rigid mathematical structure, like in my 62-second protocol videos that we are talking about, I provide the score the machine must follow.

We aren't competing with the machine.

We are governing it to ensure the final output is a harmonious blend of human ingenuity and technological innovation.

So it means like I consider AI art is a human-made art.

And this is like a main point of the conversation and main point of the presentation of this art piece, because I conceived it as a digital art for the ABS competition, but it's grounded in the physical world.

And the concept of digital, when physical and digital lives together, it's also one of the main ideas that I'm trying to deliver to the audiences.

Yes, as I told you, the main point why I decided to start a digital art was the concept of NFT.

And I see NFT technology as a safety tool, as like a lock.

or like a safe.

So in my opinion, it's important what is inside of the lock or safe.

It's important to have this technology available, but the main idea, what kind of file you have inside and the value is in a file.

So blockchain solves the crisis of what I call the digital slope, where media is poured into an anonymous reservoir and loses its connection to the creator.
