That night was absolutely incredible! 📸 Capturing the energy and moments of Yanlee and Friends Live Sound immersed me in the magic of music, community, and creative expression.

Such a transformative experience. Yanlee brought sounds to life through a variety of instruments, weaving melodies that transcended the ordinary.

Guest participation added an extra layer of magic: a spontaneous jam session, sharing unique voices and talents, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and collaboration…

Sharing food and music forged bonds among attendees, transforming strangers into a community that felt like family by the end of the night.

That night everyone stepped beyond their usual roles to embrace new versions of themselves, unlocking infinite possibilities through sound, connection, and purpose.

Thank you, Yanlee, and all the incredible guests, for making this evening unforgettable.

📷 I am deeply grateful to have documented these moments.

Presenting my photography from the 24th annual How Weird Street Faire in San Francisco🌈✨

Thousands of attendees, embellished in colorful tights, feathers, capes, and glitter, gathered around Howard and Second streets to celebrate their unique and unconventional spirit.

I was feeling the magic in a world where creativity and self-expression reign supreme.

“Be weird!”- they said. With eight stages of electronic music, performances, cannabis experience, visionary art, and any kind of creativity you can imagine.

I was truly amazed how it can be done in the middle of SoMa district in San Francisco, when many types of artists and lovers of art and culture express themselves in a new way of viewing the world.

I was invited to see the world differently and I probably never will look at it with my old perspectives.

Pictures are coming. Stay tune, beautiful people

Decoding AI at the Intersection of Business and Culture

Last week, I was lucky enough to attend GPT-PARTY 2.0 The event was organised by San Francisco Innovation HUB for the Russian-speaking community . It was truly an honour to be invited as a part of the media team ( big thanks to .raw ), capturing some of the event's vibrating moments which I want to share with you

Also I'd like to express my gratitude to the hosts for the seamless and enriching experience for all attendees. The insightful line-up of speakers, and the attention to details made it not only educational but also incredibly engaging.

In my humble opinion, it was simply amazing. GPT-PARTY 2.0 gave attendees more than the knowledge of how to navigate through the integration process of AI into business but also offered a platform for networking, sharing, and growth.

To wrap it up, I firmly believe that the future holds more such events, and I sincerely hope to witness and be a part of them.

Wishing everyone a bright and AI-augmented future :)

P.S. The link to all photos in BIO. Maybe your best picture from this event is waiting for there :) Adding the source to your post will be appreciated

As a personal stylist, I recently had the pleasure of working with a woman who was starting a new position in her career. She lacked the confidence and self-acceptance needed to embrace her new identity. We created different looks to help her feel empowered and comfortable in her skin. I want to emphasize how important it is to speed up your personal growth and not to be afraid to change yourself. Fashion, as an art of creativity and imagination, is one of the tools that can help with that transformation. To create a safe space for this transformation, it's important to have supporters, and one of them can be a metastylist.

Just attended an awe-inspiring symposium called "Creativity in the Age of AI: AI Impacting Arts, Arts Impacting AI." A remarkable blend of tech, artistry, and intellectual discourse.

It's not every day you find artists, technologists, scholars, and creatives from all walks of life converging to discuss the intersection of AI and art. The exchange of ideas was not just about how AI is revolutionizing the world of arts - from AI-generated paintings to personalized art curation - but also about how artists are humanizing AI, influencing its evolution and pushing its boundaries.

The discussions also delved deep into the social, ethical, and legal aspects of AI in art. How will AI shape the future of creativity? What are the implications of AI biases in art? These and many more thought-provoking questions were on the table.

It was a good reminder that technology and creativity are not mutually exclusive but intricately intertwined, each pushing the other into uncharted territories. Art meets AI. Creativity meets code. The future is here, and it's enthralling!

When someone like or comment on a photo or post or whatever, it gives us a little dopamine hit every once in a while. And that’s going to get us to contribute more content…more likes and comments.

Welcome to a social validation feedback loop…

We became attention junkies and lost sight of our real self-worth, believing instead in the digitised twin . Our value as an individual now dependents on bite-size snippets of public opinion

People are socializing more than they ever did in history, while feeling lonely and isolated at the same time. Real social validation became fake virtual validation.

And it does not satisfy us. We are never completely sure that we are ok. We need some form of external feedback. Confirmation from others.

We respond to social media notifications because they promise an instant boost to our vulnerable ego. We are insecure about ourselves unless somebody assures us that we are fine.

Authentic self-esteem is intrinsic.

We live in a society and we need to fit in. We need to find “our people”.

We need to belong.

We need social confirmation that we fit in with our group. We also crave their admiration for our uniqueness and individuality. Social media gives us an illusion of fulfilling both of these needs, and that’s what makes it so addictive

No rain, no flowers Or no REELS, no flowers..

Your Digital Identity is calling you

The fairy lights strewn across the room wrap everything in a warm, fuzzy glow. And you’re not alone. Sat around you, gathered in a circle around a candle’s flame, are other women, offering their time and attention to being in the room with you. Phones are on silent, you are here, you’re present and you’re ready to share. This is a women’s circle…

Women’s circles are part of a recent shift towards alternative spiritual practices. And if not everyone vibes with manifestation and meditation, women might be swayed by the unfiltered feminine bonding and their response to a basic need: the desire to feel heard, witnessed and supported..

There’s something so special about the women’s circle, because it resonates within a feeling most women are trying to hide: loneliness.

Your calendar might be full of meetings, events, dinners and drinks in the company of the beautiful people you call friends, but honestly how often you can say that it is enough for your friendship. When was the last time you opened up your feelings fully – no judgements, no preconceptions, no limits?

Women circles is a space where you can be yourself, without judgment or fear of being misunderstood. A way to create the moments of community that we all crave as human beings.

Thank you, KATYA Chakra • Healer, the event organiser, for this invitation. The post hasn't been sponsored and expresses a personal point of view on this experience

It’s hard to name successful artists who don't have a strong identity. They have a visual identity, a personal identity and most of the time an interesting backstory that can give a strong sense of who they are. Even anonymous artists have their identity presented through their story.

What is the unique differentiator? What is unusual?

A healthy dose of unique differentiator helps to focus what artist identity is.
The DJ is an artist.

The DJ is a creator. A vibey-maker, if you will.

When I am in a night out mood, I am not looking for a club , I am looking for the vibe. I want to be taken through it. DJ as an artist with a strong and clear identity allows me to get what I want, escape from my daily life into another world.

When he plays a set, it's important to me that the vibe is clear and consistent and he has a vision for this experience I'm trying to get into.

The great artist communicates with people through his intention. And this thing is what really touches me at an emotional level.

That's because when you're looking for a good night out, you're looking for more than just music: you want to feel something. And that's exactly what the DJ is aiming for, too—to vibrate air molecules in such a way that when those air molecules hit another carbon-based human life form, they feel something

I believe that artists with a strong sense of artist identity are able to show us all the things that make life worthwhile: love, beauty, art, —and our humanity, forgive me this cliche if you can

To state the obvious, luxury has lost its “luxe.” If it isn't so obvious to luxury brands and what was created around the meaning of "luxury"—and in my experience, it's not—the clients on which those brands depend will make sure they know soon enough.

Luxury brands continue to rest on their long-standing legacy, but for them it all hinges on personal relevance. And "personal relevance" has shacked its form shifting to an authenticity

People are striving for authenticity in an inauthentic world. Luxury is less about the brands themselves and more about enabling us to become more of who we really are.

The old meanings of luxury no longer apply, and brands are on the journey to find a new land of their legacy, like Metaverse as an example.

Palm Beach luxury, despite its beauty and intricate details, is like a dying dinosaur; not because of its age but because the concept of luxury that has been paid off for so many years is dying.

In the current cultural context, for us, who build new identities or keep the old ones updated, it is a reminder that the pursuit of owning luxury things has lost meaning. It has been replaced by a desire to create a state of feeling luxurious, which may have little to do with the actual thing itself.

Working with digital identities of my clients, I always mention that we have to move away from the tangible aspects of their identity to the intangibles. And what our craft is about? The unique and personalised identities that have the potential to better and transform our lives

So, what is your casual luxury?

Being an Artist is a playing Russian Roulette. The more you practice, the better you get at it. But once you touch the firing pin, there's no turning back..

Are you ready to take the risk and rewrite your story?

I have a lot of respect and admirarion to this artist and his path. I was lucky to meet Shawn in person. If you are an artist, please listen to his podcast "Art takes balls to sell" on Spotify

My friend is very talented cinematographer, who has the gift for telling stories through film. I am loving what he is doing, his vision, and the purpose behind it all. He's easy to talk to, and even easier to be around. But it's his talent that makes me admire him so much.
I had the opportunity to take some pictures of Phil while he was working on his new project in Miami. You can watch his movie by following this link in Stories
