The Umwelt AI
[2023]
512 tech-organic species generated through AI and inscribed permanently on the Bitcoin blockchain. Each creature is a hybrid of deep-sea biology and computer hardware, living at inscription numbers 45,000 to 47,000.
Umwelt — from the German, meaning "environment" — was coined by biologist Jakob von Uexküll to describe the unique subjective world each organism inhabits. No two species perceive the same reality.
Umwelt AI is a collection of 512 tech-organic species generated through artificial intelligence and inscribed permanently on the Bitcoin blockchain via the Ordinals protocol. Each creature is a hybrid of deep-sea biology and computer hardware: GPUs, cooling fans, transparent cases, fused into forms that have never existed and could not exist outside this moment.
They live at inscription numbers 45,000 to 47,000. There are now millions. Find them if you dig deep enough.
