Flesh and Metal

I have been staring at this new piece that I created with Grok for hours now, her curves melting into that iridescent chrome exoskeleton while space cracks open like a glitchy orgasm all around them. It is not just the visuals that have me hooked. It is the pull of it, the way the softness of her skin presses right up against the brutal geometry of metal, how one yields in its warmth while the other demands everything in return, unyielding and eternal. I am obsessed in that full-body, heart-h...

summerween: glitch songs of the summer part 2

Continuation of the summerween saga - original post here: https://paragraph.com/@empresstrash/summerween-glitch-songs-of-the-summer?referrer=0x8469B7b08D30C63fEA3a248a198dE9D634B63d70 Previous episode of my AI music creation saga TL;DR: I have a concept album I made over the summer exploring grief using AI to create the music. I went to release it on SoundCloud and they rejected it, which made me super upset. I only had it released on Zora and Audius. NOW though, an online friend of mine poin...

Rant on Generative Art Hate

I’ve been an artist my entire life. I have a BFA and a long history of creation, so whether I’m a “real” artist is not up for debate in my mind. Even so, when I began using AI, I lost collectors and longtime supporters. People who already knew my situation acted as if I had suddenly become less of an artist or less of a person. That betrayal piled on top of the grief I already carried about possibly never drawing or painting again. I kept integrating AI into my practice anyway. I have to make...

remix it w/ no censorship (empress's edition)

In the glow of the remix's mechanics potential, where every post becomes a canvas for collective evolution, the call for 'switches' to erase unwanted layers rings hollow and stands as a shadow of systems some of us are trying to leave behind. I wholly celebrate remix as quote-tweeting on steroids, a tool that bull-runs engagement and democratizes narrative. Yet introducing deletion mechanics betrays the core promise of onchain building: resistance to censorship. What starts as a safeguard aga...

summerween: glitch songs of the summer

Hello everyone, it's Empress Trash, sharing some thoughts on my new project: #summerweenI've created this album completely in SunoAI. It's a collection of glitch-noise electronic tracks that dive into the ongoing mourning and rage from the constant violence around us in the world. This album overall explores how that violence breaks apart our identities as the grind persists leaving parts of ourselves behind. Using AI felt essential here. I often see it as a symbol of the biased systems that ...

the art of noise (remix empress edition)

As an artist, the study of systems, chaos and noise has been a lifelong passion of mine from staring at TV static to helping rain drain from a puddle in a dirt road, while some may think is sad for a child to be playing as games both taught me how all form comes from randomness. The collective human consciousness via data inputs that AI navigates is another static filled tv. Each datapoint meaningless and chaotic waiting for someone or thing to give it form. It doesn't stop being static, just ...

Bimbocore Pivot, Liquid Glitch: Renaissance

GM ~ All weekend I was grinding AI training for fun + profit, using my paintings to build models that feel like my paintings. Infinite paintings unlocked. Friday I dropped the Liquid Glitch: Renaissance model on By Sat/Sun I was deep in crafting a new, still unnamed, collage style pulling Bimbocore maximalist meme prompts + fusing them with my painting moodboard. I was bouncing between microsoft copilot, midjourney, title.xyz and a little bit of grok (image generation there I'm still not real...

New Artist Bio

I worked with Grok on a new artist bio all day today by having it research and research some more to find everything it could to put together a comprehensive artist bio. This was a process, but not as painful as it usually is without ai which it would have taken me weeks to do this update probably instead of one stoned saturday night. It also has given me the idea to create an AI lore bot that continually collects what I have done to keep information current for me and anyone interested to kn...
