    What is Metascapes?

    In essence, Metascapes is an NFT photography collection with a twist. In particular, it is the first-ever artificial intelligence (AI) landscape collection. The project came about as a collaboration between three photographers – Cath Simard, Ryan Newburn, and Iurie Belegurschi. Basically, the three uploaded their entire lives’ work into an AI GAN2 system courtesy of Versus Lab AI.

    The AI then generated a number of stunning landscape photos. After that, the Metascapes team selected the most beautiful outputs and released them as NFTs.

    Why the project partnered with Rug Radio

    As mentioned above, Metascapes is the first NFT project that Rug Radio and RugDAO have incubated. To explain, Rug Radio stakes a claim as the first fully decentralized media platform. To that end, the RugDAO is a way for the Rug Radio community to have ownership in the Rug Radio ecosystem.

    Overall the main goal of the partnership is to help educate, onboard, and support other creators. Indeed, both Metaspaces and Rug Radio are dedicated to onboarding more photographers into Web3.
    As a result, Metascapes will host two weekly open Twitter Spaces to help educate and onboard people. Of course, these Spaces will get the full support of Rug Radio.
    Rug Radio founder Farokh spoke on the Metascapes partnership saying, “We hope this partnership will inspire creators across platforms and mediums to share their story and start a conversation, but also to step outside of their comfort zone and get involved in the Web3/NFT space.”
