PERSONA
"The persona is a mask of the collective psyche, a mask that feigns individuality, making others and oneself believe one is individual, whereas one is simply acting a role through which the collective psyche speaks." - Carl Jung
‘PERSONA,' is an exploration of the Jungian concept of the persona - the mask that we wear in public life. At its core, 'PERSONA' delves into the intricate layers of identity and self-perception that we navigate in our daily lives.
Set against the backdrop of the shopping mall, this project captures the quintessential space where personal and social identities converge. Malls, with their inherent nature of display, social interaction, and consumer culture, offer a rich tapestry for observing and understanding the personas we adopt.
They are stages where performative aspects of our identities are most visible, influenced by both social and capitalistic dynamics.
In 'PERSONA,' I use AI to create post-photographic portraits, drawing heavily on the collective appearance of people within the dataset. It reflects how public and collective perceptions shape and influence our personal presentation and identity.
AN AIRDROP PROJECT TO REWARD COLLECTORS.
Airdrop Program for 'PERSONA':
Holders of Gold and Silver tokens in the 'PERSONA' project are eligible to receive monthly ART airdrops on the L2 OPTIMISM chain. These ART tokens represent unique digital art editions.
Monthly ART Airdrops: By holding Gold or Silver tokens, participants will receive ART tokens airdropped to them each month, adding up to a collection of 12 L2 editions over the year.
Burning Rarer Artworks: Participants have the option to 'burn' two of these L2 ART editions to claim a token for a rarer artwork. This creates an exclusive opportunity to access limited edition pieces.
2x Airdrops Burned = 1x Rarer edition
At the end of the 12 months, there will be a complete set of 24 editions, offering a tiered collector experience.
GOLD CLUB MEMBERS RECEIVE 2x MONTHLY ART AIRDROP
SILVER CLUB MEMBERS RECEIVE 1X MONTHLY ART AIRDROP
