MEM - Machine Embedded Memories (2022)

The GNSS Art project, minted on the Ethereum blockchain in May of 2022, is a collection of 3D beings that embody a futuristic universe where humans and machines coexist in the imagination of MGXS. Machine Embedded Memories, or MEM, is a revolutionary extension of the GNSS project. 

With GNSS beings serving as the bodies in MGXS’s universe, MEMs shifts the attention to the mind. With the general premise of memories needing to be remembered, else they are forgotten, MEM is an innovative, interactive project that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) with sophisticated training models to create memories for GNSS. AI models are trained based on the GNSS composition, therefore each specie and subspecie creates MEMs that are distinct to them. The resulting artworks are forever attached to the original GNSS that created them. 

Similar to the GNSS seed reveal process, participants had up to 10 MEM options to choose from, with an option to “Forget” to skip, or “Remember” to register the MEM to the GNSS. This unique approach to artistic collaboration enabled participants to leave their mark on a living, breathing artwork that grows and evolves over time. 

With an open invitation to participate free of charge, the first activation was launched online at https://mem.mgxs.co/ and in-person at the Non-Fungible Conference in Lisbon in June 2023. 

MEMs are linked to GNSS off-chain and registered to the Tree of MEM. With each in-person activation, a new Tree of MEM is created. The Tree of MEM serves as a collage where all MEMs are stored, offering a continually expanding canvas for collective expression and shared experiences related to GNSS Art. 

The full tree is visible on our website, https://tree.mgxs.co/ along with a search feature to view if a GNSS already has a MEM registered at https://mem.mgxs.co/static/checkmem. When a GNSS moves wallet or is sold, the MEM goes with it. 

MEM is yet another art project that tries to push the boundaries of art at scale.
