Poetry is made to conjure up an image from words. An epic like Homer's Odyssee, a sonnet by Shakespear, a tritriplicata by yours truly, or a poem created by a human-ai duo, words can make you imagine universes.
And now, with large language models such as DALL-E and Stable Diffusion, you can use words to let AI generate an image. As a poetry newsletter, The Onchain Poetry Digest explores the influence of words in creating images. Primarily by listing all the freshly minted onchain poetry we can find. But also with the art used in each issue.
Every issue has an NFT for collectors, based on the issue's header image, that is generated by AI. After experimenting a bit, the same prompt was used, with up to 5 modifiers for each piece of art. The prompt, a nod to the content of the listing, is always "fresh mint". Only four times, while experimenting, a variation of the prompt was used. All images are created using NightCafé Studio. In it, you can pick from a list of modifiers to give some extra pizzazz to your prompt. To create the header image for each issue, as said, up to 5 of these modifiers were used, thus creating a collection that explores the influence of words on the images they evoke. That is what The Fresh Mint Collection is about.
This animated GIF version shows the 20 different interpretations of the prompt fresh mint and its four variations "freshly minted nft poetry" (issue `1), "A poet of indonesian heritage writing poetry with a fountain pen" (issue 2), "freshly minted poetry" (issue 4) and "Frresh mint with fireworks in the background" (issue 7, including typo).
