I told Opus 5.5 to make a motion graphics ad for our Kickstarter, one it would be proud to put on its own portfolio.
No After Effects. No timeline. Every frame is code.
Here's what it came back with 👇
LOOK WHAT WE FOUND THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!
- PRIMAL DECODE, by @AkkrinCA (#140)
- Fantastic Creatures, by @FerCaggianoArt (#97)
- GREEN WORLD, by @muichirooart (At Least the Sea Stayed)
Certified interesting.

“We’ve gone through this process to separate us from the artist itself. You’re just getting hit with content.”
For @adhd143, Kento moves in the opposite direction: putting the artist, their personality, and their story back at the center of collecting. ↓

What does Web Nostalgia mean to artists who were there from the beginning?
For Kento Season 1: Web Nostalgia, @UBERMORGEN_COM —founded by lizvlx and Hans Bernhard in 1995—contributed two works: Menstalgia and UBER2000.
Diela Maharanie’s work is immediately recognizable: bright colors, saturated patterns, and dreamlike characters that carry a quiet sense of mystery.
She is part of Kento Season 01: Web Nostalgia.
