Dnext: Life in Our Minds - ART BASEL
Life in Our Minds is one of the most collaborative, technologically innovative NFT projects to date. It opens up an interplay between collective ownership and individual mark-making, re-staging art within a new (meta)-universe that has its own rules and, in so doing, represents a new form of public sculpture.
This multi-dimensional artwork consists of two major parts: an NFT collection and an interactive generative virtual sculpture, entitled ‘The Mother Flock.’ Both the collection and The Mother Flock are made from the same basic matter — 3D origami objects called Boids. During the development of the project, all the elements — Boids, NFTs and The Mother Flock — will go through a complex evolutionary process that depends on the NFT collectors’ behaviours. The evolution mechanics of the project offer collectors the opportunity to actively participate in the creation of the artwork as it shapeshifts, incentivizing long-term retention of the NFT.

Robert Alan Krieger, born January 8, 1946, in Los Angeles, is a musical performer and The Doors guitarist. He attended UCLA. “The first music I heard that I liked was Peter and the Wolf. I accidentally sat and broke the record (I was about seven). Then I listened to rock ‘n’ roll – I listened to the radio a lot – Fats Domino, Elvis, The Platters.
“In The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each other’s art, so we can effect a synthesis. In the case of Tim Buckley or Dylan you have one man’s ideas. Most groups today aren’t groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves.”

Richard has given tv interviews and written articles on his blog condemning the TDSB's promotion of radical sex ed to children which is age-inappropriate and potentially harmful to them. Richard has also bravely written against teaching children the theories of Gender Identity and Transgenderism, both of which tell children at the earliest ages that their being a boy or a girl has nothing to do with their bodily reality. These flawed, unscientific theories teach kids that 'male' and 'female' are merely 'social constructs'. For instance, a little boy can decide for himself that he's a girl if he 'feels' that way in his mind.
