Oz FineArt Relations to Digital and AI Revolutions

Sketching these cultural moments is profound and emergent over time. We offer a few key thoughts guiding art practice and curation process now and in the months ahead.

1. Support of a holistic philosophy of a decentralised indigenous-to-all blockchain ecology with built in values of universal non-sectarian access and practical sustainability - seeking to participate as artists and as a company via various platforms and integrations with our ecosystem.
   
   
2. Leaning into the tech revolutions with caution and excitement while seeking viable and equitable solutions to personal, familial, communal, and corporate functionality and governance.
   
   
3. Seeking to use digital means to assist the art creation process, and to explore and use NFT technologies in thoughtful and curated ways that are uniquely tied to our art practice and values.
   
   
4. Engaging use of AI image generation tools and processes to assist in the co-creation of first and second stage reference materials from which we paint original works on canvas and/or original digital works.
   
   
5. All artwork produced by Oz FIneArt undergo careful curatorial analysis to ensure we are producing rare, exceptionally ascetically valued, and original works - defined by having the artist's human touch and strategic choices and engagements throughout the art-creation process. 
   
   
6. Our artistic values ground the work in contingency not in perfection. Touch, brush stroke, spontaneity, felt-immediacy, and allowance of mistakes make art meaningful and valuable.
   
7. As artists we focus in organic, cultural, and spiritual values and our approach to art is expressionist at heart and impressionist in execution. We slide along the abstract to realism spectrum more in relation to therapeutic agency and intentionality.
   
   
8. We value realism more as an expression of feeling, perception and meaning and we counter and de-centre the realist tradition as well as forms of digital perfectionism in a path to felt-moments of meaning-making and narrative depth.
   
   
9. Our works express the dignity and risks of human touch - Our artworks are made by hand in the studio and out in the field or forest.

For questions, please share comments below or get in touch with us. We are eager to open a conversation about these many areas emerging. We ideally wish to build community and connections with like-minded souls, art lovers, artists, technicians, and visionaries. Thank you for participating in your own unique ways.
