VNCCII

I was honoured to take part in this year's Abundance360 virtual conference as part of the #AbundanceScholar program. This was my second time attending the Abundance360 conference—this time virtually—and once again, I was blown away by the insightful conversations on AI, quantum computing, blockchain, autonomous robots, and longevity. These converging technologies are reshaping the world at an unprecedented pace. Super grateful to Peter H. Diamandis, the incredible Abundance360 team (Julie van Amerongen, Abby Schwalb , Kyle Herron and Lucky Sheeley) for all the amazing work they do each year. #AI #QuantumComputing #Blockchain #Innovation #Leadership #Education #Healthcare #Convergence #Longevity #humanoidrobots #Abundance360 #AbundanceScholar2025

Thank you DR. Billy Tang FRSA, Ph.D for the Global Hope Award for 'Excellence in Creative Innovation & Digital Empowerment." Honoured to receive this certificate and I'm also inspired by your mission at PWD Smart Farmability. Gratitude for us connecting at THE OXFORD CLUB U.K in 2024. #gratitude #GlobalHopeAward VNCCII

Honoured to have interviewed Frank White for the 'Future Humans' Show. Frank White has authored numerous books on topics ranging from space exploration to climate change to artificial intelligence. His best-known work, The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution, is considered by many to be a seminal work in the field of space exploration. A film called "Overview," based largely on his work, has had nearly 8 million plays on Vimeo. Since the first edition of his book on the subject was published in 1987, "the Overview Effect" has become a standard term for describing the spaceflight experience. In this episode, we discuss: ?? The significance of 'The Overview Effect' for global peace, Oneness and planetary harmony ?? The Overview Round Table and impact of a global space community ?? The future of space-faring civilisations ?? Inspirational #lunar missions ?? Spaceship crew 'human'/Earth ?? ?? Citizen astronauts for the The Human Space Program ?? The impact of A.I for symbiotically partnering with humanity for space-faring civilisations. ?? How 'The Overview Effect' unites humanity as one human family to serve as a bridge for the future of the human species. ?? Frank's wishes for the future and his legacy ?? This conversation was very wholesome and I encourage everyone to view the Earth ?? as 'spaceship Earth.' I would also like to express gratitude to Frank for writing the foreword for my science fiction story ???? It feels surreal that my science fiction novel will be sent to the Moon in 2025 ???? #OverviewEffect #Overview #FrankWhite #HumanSpaceProgram #VNCCII VNCCII #FutureHumans #space #Moon #lunarmissions #Mars #astronauts NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Last week I presented a keynote titled "VNCCII: A Blueprint for the Next-Gen Creative" at the Future Artists AI Social Club event connected with The University of Manchester. Thank you Mark Ashmore FRSA (PhD) for the invitation to speak to a crowd of intellectual creatives and technologists. Other speakers at the event included Ian Forrester, Lewis Hackett (Showrunner- Netflix AI -Forbes), and James Simpson from Copper Candle. In my keynote, I discussed how we are experiencing an inflection point of tech #convergence. In these next-gen brand communities, components of a 'community of tomorrow' are that they are active, democratised, and encompass mutual value flow. I shared alpha behind the VNCCII formula and how I am building a #transmedia science fiction franchise traversing music, games, film, TV series, novels, digital art, and real-time shared immersive experiences/performances. #UnrealGameEngine, #generativeAI, and #UEFN (Unreal Editor For Fortnite) have empowered the creators of tomorrow, democratising traditional Hollywood media and the Triple A games industry. Artists are the true entrepreneurs of the cultural zeitgeist and these emerging next-gen technologies are empowering us to create 360 brands that activate a community of co-creators. With respect to AI, I believe it can never replicate 'human flow' and interactivity. 'Art' versus 'art' are stories that emotionally move the receiver. The audience feels changed by the experience. Art is a communication message, whether it is to ourselves or others. Humans will always have a role as artful tastemakers of stories, sharing the universal insight and story of the human condition. I created a formula for these next-gen brands: Experiential x Gamified X Ownership x Scarcity #Scarcity is important in terms of value. As humans we are willing to place a premium on tasteful content, especially if it was 'made by a human.' #Ownership is the next-gen creator economy, offering a new value vertical for communities. I am bullish on how AI can symbiotically partner with humans to catalyze our creative workflows (#generativeAI), offering new tools and processes for ideation and community collaboration. It is an exciting time to be a #creative in this landscape of converging technologies.

Honoured to be included in the Future of Humanity Art Walk at Davos in 2025! I have been thinking deeply about the power of creativity for creating change in our world ?? Creativity is a gift from the universe, and I believe that we all possess an innate creative spark, with treasures hidden deep within our souls, waiting to be expressed. My passion for becoming an artist was ignited by a love for classic stories that have the power to move people and change the world through imagination. I was also deeply inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, the polymath whose multidisciplinary approach to understanding the universe and the meaning of life greatly influenced me. Leonardo's ethos became a foundational inspiration for the creation of my company and brand VNCCII. Being an artist is like becoming a tuning fork, learning to attune ourselves to our innate soul and essence. The role of an artist holds great power, as it has the potential to be a catalyst for change, a causal agent, both within us and in others. An artist also has the unique ability to serve as a mirror to society, reflecting our love, fears, hopes, dreams, and visions for the future of our species. For many artists, there is a deep desire to positively impact humanity - to leave the world in a better place through their contributions to the creation of life. Art reflects the transience of human existence and has the potential to leave a lasting, positive legacy - footprints in the sand for future generations. It echoes the primal human instinct: "I was here" or "we were here." My hope for the VNCCII project is to make an uplifting impact on humanity by crafting a new narrative of hope, celebrating the purity of the 'inner child' and the glory of the human spirit. The goal is to transform the intangible and unseen into tangible digital and physical artifacts. Ultimately, I hope that my work at VNCCII serves as a participatory reminder that we are all part of the great 'remembering' - a deep realization that we are not separate, but interconnected through the golden threads of universal cosmic love. We are Oneness. #humanity #futureofhumanity #spacefaringcivilisations #OverviewEffect #UniversalLove #UniversalPeace #creativity #positivity
