Just sharing a selection of the memoryforms minted so far! I love reading what people say about them, and am hoping that over time this can grow to be a collaborative memorial, and leave something permanent onchain even though so many of the Lifeforms themselves were ephemeral 💐

if you cared for a lifeform before Mar 6 of this year, you're eligible to create one - I might expand this to everyone who cared for a lifeform ever but it'll take me a lil while 😅

Launched two new interactions related to my long term project Lifeforms yesterday!

The first is a way to mint a memory of your lifeforms, shaped by how you interacted with them. You can check if you're eligible here: gooddeath.lifeforms.supply/

You can check out the emerging collection here: opensea.io/collection/memoryforms

The second is a bridge that moves Lifeform a that are older than one year from Polygon to Ethereum mainnet, and is a way for a lifeform to "die" intentionally, instead of by disappearing

I'm about to release a looooot of new work in the next few weeks, starting with Prompt Baby, on Modularium on Aug 28 ✨💕

Connected to my explorations of nsfw AI images, Prompt Baby is an edition of 69 prompt credits, where the collector can submit a prompt to a model fine-tuned on images of myself. Each prompt will be prepended by “A photo of Sarah Friend” but otherwise the field is open. I will review the prompts and run them personally, and I may reject them or request modifications. Once accepted, the NFT will updated with the prompted image

I see this as an opportunity for the artist and collector to collaborate, explore consent and identity, and model an alternative to the harmful proliferation of deepfakes. Each work from this drop will cost 20 TIA

This series will also be accompanied by Screenshot Folder, an open edition of screenshots from an upcoming video work that are bundled as a pack of 5 images. Each work in the collector pack will have a small chance of minting as a short video, a bit like a foil card in a collector pack

Untitled (in the Studio #1)

minting now as part of ELIZA Effect - a collection curated by @alicescope and featuring work by @arvidabystrom , @conniebakshi , @crosslucid and me 💕

This is an image related to my longer term engagement with nsfw AI images, Untitled, where I removed the image-safety-checks from stable diffusion 1.5 and fine tuned it to create images of myself - a process that may sound difficult but amounts to removing only a few lines of code, running a stock fine tuning script, and providing about 10 selfies.
