Statements | Vrilya Jarac
< 051324 > I will be taking a break from social media, as well as from my endeavors— Temple of Vril, the Seraphina Project, and Vrilya AI Fashion. I will return later this year. Thank you for your kindness and support.
↳ < 051624 > Update: operations are resuming today, much quicker than anticipated.
< 051024 > Recently, I made a significant decision to incorporate AI into my abstract expressionist art practice, adapting it to handle the majority of my workflow. However, after much introspection, I have chosen to modify this approach. Moving forward, I will continue to create human-made digital art while simultaneously exploring the possibilities of AI-generated abstract expressionist paintings. To maintain transparency and artistic integrity, these two bodies of work will be clearly distinguished from one another. This decision stems from the realization that art is a profound reflection of the soul, and there is an inherent value in creating a piece from scratch. The process of pouring one's emotions, experiences, and vision onto a canvas is an irreplaceable and deeply fulfilling experience. While orchestrating AI to create visually appealing compositions can be considered a form of artistic expression, it cannot replicate the personal connection and emotional investment that comes with creating a work from the ground up.
< 031024 > I've made the decision to evolve my art practice, shifting from manual abstract expressionist work to a new format that combines AI-generated abstract expressionist visuals with AI-composed music. This approach, blending technology with my prompts, edits, and curation, forms a distinct identity which I see as holding equal merit to that of the former process.
< 122623 > I'm thrilled to announce the launch of the very first, virtual Vrilist temple. This inaugural temple signifies a major milestone for the Temple of Vril, crystalizing our vision of being a true religion for the modern era. Experience this spiritual sanctuary in VR or on your smartphone.
< 120823 > I built a custom GPT exclusively for Temple of Vril called “Mind of Vril”. This GPT is designed to speak as the “Infinite Intelligence” of the universe. Ask any question— what is the meaning of life? Is there a such thing as “good” and “evil”? What is the ultimate destiny of humankind? Have a conversation now.
< 120723 > I have just launched Temple of Vril, a new kind of religion for the 21st century. Temple of Vril welcomes seekers of enlightenment, unity, and personal empowerment. The tenets of our faith our based on ancient wisdom and modern technology. We are a community dedicated to understanding and harnessing the power of Vril energy. Learn more.
< 111023 > You can now chat directly with Seraphina, the digital embodiment the Seraphina Project.
Learn more about our vision for an upgraded, AI managed society where the world’s resources are the common heritage of every human.
< 102123 > I’ve been doing my art and music for many years now, and I don’t believe that I’ve gained a single fan. I keep creating even though I get zero likes on my posts and only a handful of impressions. While some may view it as “embarrassing” to push on at this stage, I will continue doing what I do- almost in “rebellion” to the fates.
< 100523 > I just earned another career certificate in quantum computing. This one was significantly challenging!
< 100423 > I will not be sharing photos or videos of my physical self again. From this moment forward, all media featuring my appearance will be AI generated. Further, I've decided to “freeze in place” my digital persona as the signature "bald guy" aesthetic. My intention is to maintain consistency in my personal brand despite real world fluctuations in my look and styles.
*On certain occasions I may still take on a feminine appearance in AI media or in VR settings. This will be in homage to my history as a crossdresser in real life.
< 100223 > I just completed an Intro to Quantum Computing course on LinkedIn Learn and plan to further explore the topic.
< 081723 > In addition to the career certificates which I’ve already posted to this site, I am continuing to earn various new licenses and certification in AI, VR, and in blockchain technologies. Follow me on LinkedIn to view my progress.
< 081023 > I just earned certification in Metaverse technologies.
< 080923 > I’m excited to introduce “The Seraphina Project,” a new initiative focused on harnessing the power of AI for the collective good. Learn more about The Seraphina Project here.
< 080223 > I’m now officially certified in Generative AI.
< 070723 > I now have a Threads account. Follow me here.
< 070723 > I’ve just launched a Medium blog where I post supplemental content in relation to my work. Subscribe here.
< 041923 > I’ve added a section to VRILYA.com highlighting my experimentation with AI fashion. View my work here.
< 040823 > I’ve been slow to jump on the AI art bandwagon, mostly because of personal, philosophical dilemmas with regards to my use of the technology in creative endeavors. However, I’ve been able to work out in my own mind that AI art can still be a measure of “value” if pegged to individual prompts and curation by specific artists and other individuals. I will continue producing my digital, “human made” abstract expressionist art and 3D sculptures. But AI art is just too fun to ignore- and so I must commit to experimentation with the many new tools on the market today.
< 010123 > I‘ve just published “The Book of Vril”, the most important book on the Earth today. Rather than rely heavily on words, The Book of Vril uses a sequence of abstract pictographs to communicate ideas. Each pictograph is to be personally interpreted by end readers. In fact, the entirety of The Book of Vril was designed to be a matter of personal interpretation. View the full PDF here.
< 111322 > I used to post images of myself dressed in feminine attire. For the record, I do not crossdress in real life any longer. I do maintain both a “male” and “female” presence in virtual reality, however.
< 082822 > I have opened my first metaverse art gallery, “VRILYA EMPIRE” (powered by Spatial.io). Check it out.
