ITAINT by GRAMS

it ain't it

real. AI. fantasy. AI. existent. AI. fake.

we live in a time where content is king where access often equates to success where skillsets are overlooked by character coolness.

i often feel as if i was born during the wrong era witnessing older friends having had opportunities that millennials will never existing in new york city brushing shoulders with the likes of andy + jean-michel.

do we have future equivalents of the like among us today? that’s not for me to decide or even speculate on so i created moments i would have enjoyed in periods that don't actually exist.

dreamers can dream. utilize the tools at your disposal. don't leave ideas undocumented. these are the things they tell us, right? well, we're at a point in an ever-evolving technology immersed humanity some consider terrifying. uncertainty of truth. deepfakes to persuade an entire populace. this may be true, especially sans critical thought or attention to detail, but without pushing it to the limit how do we safeguard from accidents? from misperception? from propaganda? there will come a time these things must be dealt with at a high level. as for now, i'm trying to have as much fun as i can imagining what could have been with time travel and a bit of access. this is not photography. this is not "post-photography" (please stop using this term). photography comes from cameras. these images came from my brain, then some calculations, words transformed into imagery, carefully crafted to perfection projecting the desired image, an image that is not a photograph.

GRAMS (b.1985) is a visual fabricator from New York whose versatile body of work spans filmmaking, photography, sound design, motion graphics, and illustration.

His artistic journey began at a young age but consciously became a major pursuit during adolescence when the artist started experimenting with a camera that had been left unused by his father – with the newfound passion primarily fueled by capturing moments with friends while snowboarding.

To date, some of the artist's top achievements include a sold-out genesis drop on Nifty Gateway, Sloika's all-time high sale of 2 eth, and having his work displayed in Italy, Japan, Canada, and America. Perhaps more importantly, GRAMS’ creative lens has enabled him to travel the world capturing some of the most talented snowboarders and musicians alive.

Through his art GRAMS aims to capture the fleeting experiences earth has to offer in hopes of inspiring viewers to put down their phones and explore the here and now.
