Nuclear fire from a sphere has come into the human grasp. Technology and war - war and Ai can we hold the line or will it all be a ring of fire.
Channeling the fire myths of the world, Prometheus, the Phoenix, the gods of the sun and flame. A story of technology brought to humans; to myths of destruction and rebirth. To be immortal; to be a god; it is always a paradox of fire and technology. The morality of the fire is always in question but we desire it and fear it. And yet it has changed us, we have learned so much since we first touched fire. We used it to destroy the wood, smelt the metal and build the chip. And now we teach and show the fire what we know; what we create and our reflection is there telling us our faults. The GAN is but a single neuron in a blazing star; a greater fire is coming.

CyborgDAO - "Ionson is one of the first crypto artists to mint on the blockchain in 2018. With an algorithmic style which favors cohesion of color where edges blend, objects meld together while subjects always remain recognizable in both political and crypto-specific artwork."|2023|https://twitter.com/cyborgDAO/status/1724431376525459933
