Bastard Gan Punks, created by Berk Özdemir, were released in April 2020 as an artificial intelligence art portrait non-fungible token (NFT) collection on the Ethereum blockchain. [1] The series quickly sold out after just one retweet from Roham Gharegozlou CEO of Dapper Labs, the company behind major NFT successes CryptoKitties and NBA Top Shots.[2]
Background[edit]
There are 11,305 unique Bastard Gan Punks V2, which are the final art evolution of Berk's Generative adversarial network (GAN) study of the CryptoPunks project.[3]
Types and attributes[edit]
The initial appeal of Bastard Gan Punks was a combination of the groundbreaking use of AI using the General Adversial Networks (GAN) method to create the collection and its' outcomes which produced an large array of characters, colors and shapes including some highly distorted "X" bastards. The collection also yielded 847 "hype" GIF versions that assembled up to 250 GAN generated frames into one NFT.[3][2]
The project acknowledged CryptoPunks, and defined itself with a new combination of art technology, gender nonconformity and the Ethereum blockchain.[3][4]
