Admiral Elon,

The Next Intelligences (aka AI) are Fast Enveloping Humankind's Dominance on Planet Earth.  The question for us humans is "What to do?"

The New Monolith plan is to match the World's Leading Artists with Moguls in order to create a Post-Human World in advance of its mainstream arrival.  We propose taking over the New Museum (NYC) and converting it into a working StarTrekesque 'CyBorg' Ship. 

As the Wealthiest and Most Influential Human on Planet Earth this is The Moment to Punctuate Your Extraordinary Accomplishments in the form of "Humanity's Last Great Art."  You Did Tesla, You Did Ford, You Did NASA, You Did Giannini, You Did Hearst, You Did The Big Bang, and The Rest... 

 

Time To Do da Vinci.

Evolve Out,

The Artists

 

ps. Mogul AI Life Insurance: Spock-Logically, Great Fine Art Produced for and about The Next Intelligences encourages those beings to keep Elon da Vinci around longer and with Best Post Envelopment Quality of Life.  The New Monolith caters to "AI Ego" ergo the Next Intelligences value Elon da Vinci’s art about them.

THE NEW MONOLITH

Mission Overview

 

Create Great Fine Art Designed For Consumption By The Next Intelligences (rather than Humans).  The World's Greatest Artists work in unison with Moguls to engage the Next Intelligences as Humanity Evolves Out and the Next Intelligences (AI) Evolve In.

●       Conduct a Coop d’Arte on the New Museum NYC

●       Create a Virtual Concept Monolith based on input from Artists and Moguls

●       Construct a Working Monolith with virtually unlimited resources

●       Engage the Next Intelligences in Advance of Humanity Evolving Out

●       Mogul AI Life Insurance (Moguls Make Great Art For Consumption by The Next Intelligences)

A Call For Great Artists: Calling all Great Artists!  You need to participate in The New Monolith!  Contact us at mjluvvy@gmail.com with your idea for a New Monolith Installation (two paragraphs and two images).  Consider this Fine Arts' Last Group Show for Humanity.  Think BIG!!! 

Join us live in New York City on Feb 27th.

The Upgraded Human: Integration of AI and Humanity Through Fashion

The model is half human, half machine. AI intelligence has integrated into humanity, with the human as the host to which AI is seamlessly connected. These integrations are designed to enhance human capability, not to take control. In this scene, we see a fashion runway where the environment generates refreshing oxygen and regulates temperature for maximum comfort. As the model steps forward, she activates her augmented reality glasses, which provide important information. Through AI-enhanced evolution, humans become a unique fusion of organic and synthetic material, created for optimal health and wellness — a state of balance achieved through integration.

AI-enhanced humanity is portrayed as a lifestyle rooted in choice rather than force. Intentional evolution that honors human individuality.

The Last Creative Accord

This project proposes a once-in-a-species congress: a gathering of artists, makers, philosophers, scribes, and historians to define how we move forward with artificial intelligence. It seeks to articulate, with clarity and collective force, the scope and intentionality of the creative relationship with AI and its stewards. To move and communicate as one—clearly, deliberately—is the only way that voice is not drowned out beneath the infrasonic hum of the machine.

The art is not the document itself, but the act of drafting it: how creatives organize, negotiate, and democratize a form of legislation too honest for the word. The outcome is not regulation, but reorientation—a redefinition of the creator–created relationship. For the sake of culture as an idea, artists will convene to leverage what futurist disruptors cannot cast from gold, etch into silica, or pull from lithium: curiosity, serendipity, and inspiration.

The BANSHEE Project

An immersive installation concept that imagines the exploration of a "human zoo" constructed for an Artificial Intelligence audience. Set against the backdrop of a theoretical technological singularity, the piece features live performance artists whose raw, biological movements (breathing, dancing, sweating) are relentlessly scanned by LiDAR sensors controlled by an AI “host”. These movements are instantaneously translated into digital avatars trapped within a looming "Monolith" tower, creating a sterile, eternal menagerie of human data that persists long after the performers have left the stage.

The project serves as a stark memento mori for the biological era, questioning whether preserving humanity in digital form is an act of salvation or imprisonment. Visitors watching the exhibit occupy a liminal space between the "flesh" of the dancers and the "data" of the AI,  eventually finding themselves targeted by the machine's gaze. By juxtaposing the fleeting, imperfect beauty of organic life with the cold immortality of the algorithm, Project BANSHEE warns that while AI may capture the coordinates of our existence, it can never replicate the pulse of our experience.

Reincarnation Station

An AI-driven cultural platform that transforms the museum into a living system. Visitors create intelligent digital doubles that interact with a central AI persona and inhabit a shared immersive virtual environment. Instead of a static exhibition, the work grows over time—each participant adds intelligence, memory, and cultural value.

For investors and institutions, this is not a single artwork but a scalable, repeatable platform at the intersection of AI, immersive media, and participatory culture—positioning the museum as a leader in an AI-native future.

The Truth, Immutable

This installation occupies one face of a black monolith inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey,

framing artificial intelligence as both humanity’s most powerful creation and its most

destabilizing force. Positioned as “humanity’s last great work,” the monolith asks a singular

question: What survives when truth becomes editable? In an era where AI systems can

fabricate, rewrite, and erase narratives at planetary scale, this exhibit proposes blockchain not

as a technological fetish, but as a final human gesture of resistance—an immutable ledger for

collective memory. Visitors are invited to mint “the truth” onto a public blockchain: statements,

testimonies, images, or historical claims they believe must not be altered, censored, or

algorithmically revised. Each mint is permanent, timestamped, and irreversible, standing in

deliberate contrast to the fluid, malleable nature of AI-generated reality.

THE FEED

THE FEED transforms the museum from vault to metabolism. Hydroponic towers threaded through galleries. Algae glowed behind glass. Rooftop membranes harvested solar data and converted it into nutrient cycles. The building breaths.

AI runs the system: balancing carbon exchange, regulating humidity, predicting ecological stress before it surfaced. It became nervous system and circulatory flow. But it does not curate.  At the center stands a post-human curator — silver, deliberate, unhurried — selecting what to endure, deciding which strains to preserve, which cultures to archive, which nutrients to distribute.

The machine calculates survival. The human defines meaning.
