ONLINE EXHIBITION

NOW LIVE: After Ginsberg by theVERSEverse

14 Nov – 12 Dec 

Minting is now live for our online exhibition in partnership with the Allen Ginsberg Estate, presenting a cutting-edge collection of AI generated poems, inspired by the legacy of the American poet. 

 

In the spirit of Ginsberg's avant-garde writing, theVERSEverse, employed artificial intelligence to translate his historical photographs into novel poetic texts, informed by his own words, observations and imagination. We are honoured to present these poems in a digital format for the first time, in conjunction with limited edition physical prints of the photographs which inspired them. 

 

Three poems are highlighted below, and available to mint now. Please get in touch by replying to this email if you’re interested in the prints and we’ll be delighted to assist you.

Honouring Allen Ginsberg's Legacy as a Poet and Visionary

Critical Essay, theVERSEverse

“Poetry has always been as indebted to the past as it is committed to forging ahead. The future of language and literature isn’t just about generating new work – it’s also about engaging more deeply than ever with humanity’s foundational and ever-evolving archive." 

 

In celebration of our exhibition, theVERSEverse delves into how – and why – they use artificial intelligence to deepen our engagement with the late poet.
