Have you ever found yourself racing against time to create 10,000 unique photographs in a mere 20 minutes? No? Well, Jeremy Cowart, an award-winning photographer who's captured everyone from Barack Obama to Taylor Swift, is up for the challenge!
In an event dubbed "Auras," Cowart will step into the limelight on May 2nd in Nashville, attempting to create 10,000 photography-based NFTs in a flash (pun intended) without relying on generative code or post-production effects.
Don't worry if you can't make it to Tennessee; the show will be live-streamed for your viewing pleasure!
While most NFT collections employ algorithms to distribute rare traits across the digital realm, Cowart plans to harness the power of multi-coloured lighting setups, robotics, three layers of projection, and a massive 130-foot LED volume wall to create thousands of unique photos in a blink of an eye. Talk about a photo finish!
10/10 So will you join me? Either in person or online on May 2nd at 6:30pm CST.

Lastly, I'm proud to present this insane trailer for AURAS by @EvolveStudio_SM.

At the centre of it all, Cowart will don a white mask, symbolizing a blank canvas. But fear not, art aficionados - this canvas will come to life with rare traits woven into the series as the NFT creation process unfolds before your very eyes.
Cowart considers "Auras" his most ambitious endeavour yet. "I've been adding ideas to my setup for 10 years," he explained, "and it's resulted in a creative process that I don't think has ever been done before." Add the NFT space into the mix, and you've got yourself a potentially historic event!
Thanks to Transient Labs' image processing library, Kaleidoscope, and sponsorship from NFT marketplace OpenSea, the "Auras" NFT collection will go on sale May 9th. And if you're already a holder of Cowart's previous NFT project, Block Queens, get ready to mint an "Auras" NFT for free!
So mark your calendars, shutterbugs, and prepare for a whirlwind of photographic genius as you've never seen before. We'll be watching with bated breath!
