Sasha Stiles, a first-generation Kalmyk-American poet, artist, and AI researcher, stands at the forefront of the intersection between text and technology. Recognized as a pioneer in generative literature and blockchain poetics, Stiles' work explores the profound implications of human-machine collaboration. Her innovative approach merges poetry, art, code, and AI-generated art to create dynamic multimedia projects that challenge and expand the potential of poetry as a world-making practice.

In collaboration with Gisel Florez, an artist renowned for her mastery of light, Stiles presents "Flower-Colored Light 3" from the inaugural GenText collection by theVERSEverse. This piece is a testament to the transformative power of AI in the creative process. Utilizing Sudowrite's Poem feature, Stiles crafted a series of AI-powered stanzas inspired by the concept of shimmering, prismatic electric light, which Florez captured through her signature photographic style. The result is a harmonious blend of generative text and visual art that invites viewers to explore the interplay between light, language, and technology.

"Flower-Colored Light 3" is not just an artwork; it is a narrative that unfolds within the digital realm, reflecting the limitless possibilities of the metaverse. As part of theVERSEverse, a literary gallery co-founded by Stiles, this piece exemplifies the collective's mission to redefine poetry in the age of technology. TheVERSEverse offers specially curated visual poems and limited edition series like GenText, where each drop is a collaboration between a poet, an artist, and an AI, expressed as visual verses. A celebration of innovation and creativity, "Flower-Colored Light 3" is a beacon of this new era, where poetry and technology converge to create something truly extraordinary.
