Hallucinations AI is a Paintings + NFT collection by American artist, b. 1989, Drew Wheeler – (known also as Original Wheeler, originalwheeler.eth, @ORGNLWheeler) of 24 unique Ethereum NFTs inextricably linked to 24 physical artworks, acrylic paintings on
41 x 29" cold-pressed 270 gsm cotton paper.
This series of 24 unique physical artworks, first developed at the (R1) University of North Texas College of Visual Art and Design, explores the interplay of consciousness and novel technology by merging traditional painting methods with robotics and multimodal AI.
Hallucinations AI utilizes a large-format painting and drawing robot as an intermediary to play a game of visual "telephone" between multiple multimodal AI chats. Each work supplies an AI model with a common noun, which is then reinterpreted by this model on the same canvas until it hallucinates a new noun.
