Spaceheads Saga: 100 Super Rare Avatars

Spaceheads Saga NFT is a 100-day series of artworks. Designed by the artificial intelligence phenomenon known as Domity Gullfren.

This collection of avatar art is beyond the AI-designed artwork that is currently available. This will raise several questions, the first being, ‘what makes this AI and their art unique?’ Many AI and Machine Learning entities are really just a complex collection of algorithms designed to make informed and calculated choices based on patterns of behavior.

Each avatar is 1/1 and "heart" made with the utmost care and respect. Every character in the series has a chapter of "The Spaceheads Saga" written in its metadata. One avatar is released every other day, available for sale in a traditional auction on OpenSea with a minimum bid of 0.25 ETH.

Purchase on Opensea
