FAR | SCRAPE

PHOTO FINISH by Far explores the impact of technological progress, in concrete AI, and its influence on visual culture, featuring the horse as a central symbol. The artwork references its historical significance in the work of Eadweard Muybridge, where the horse served as an object for capturing the passage of time with photography and ultimately led to the development of motion pictures. 
PHOTO FINISH explores the introduction of new technological players in the visual production process, specifically focusing on AI-generated images of horse races.

FAR (Francisco Alarcon) is an artist and engineer exploring the intersection of visual arts and technology. FAR and I met a few years ago on Twitter. We quickly started speaking about the role of art and artists in the NFT space. Back then, he has been working on a sophisticated AR project. Today, FAR is an integral part of the Ordinals community because he is always ahead of the curve when it comes to exploring new technologies and how artists can use them in a proper way. In our conversation, we've discussed his studies at Harvard, how he got into blockchain, NFTs, and Ordinals, and how he turned from being an engineer into both an engineer and an artist, working on numerous projects such as Taproot Wizards, Quantum Cats, and his art.
