FUNDAMENTALLY, ART IS AT THE CORE OF THIS PROJECT.

.

FACING THE SKY and the iconic SKYFACE digital collectibles were created by post-contemporary nomad artist Cerj Lalonde, who lived in the USA, China, and Canada.

Each SKYFACE symbolically represents at once a unique and universal image of humanity, a techno-stylized representation of us as human being — all races, all genders, all ages inclusive.

Each SKYFACE of this first series is an original artwork created by the artist specifically for this project.

Each SKYFACE NFT is also a token that grants you the status and benefits of a DIPLOMAT in our mission to increase awareness and activism regarding major issues of our time.

.

The whole world, from West to East, North to South, is in unprecedented turmoil.

This contemporary time of global crisis can also empower our creative humanity to build new values and rules for a more secure and prosperous world for all — a world better adapted to the complexity of the accelerating future.

WANTS TO BE THERE FOR YOU!

IT’S TIME TO DARE AND TO BE BOLD!

Join us and become a DIPLOMAT on this new exploration of the future.

Let’s dare to DREAM and empower our CREATIVE IMAGINATION to build a better world for all of humanity, united in a grand family of beings.

CHANGING THE WORLD, ONE SKYFACE AT A TIME!

FACING THE SKY is joining a new era of awareness and sustainability within the NFT universe.

All over the world, citizens and communities are aware of the massive challenges facing humanity, and more and more manifest the desire to GROW PROSPERITY WITH RESPONSIBILITY.

That is why the success of the new Ethereum energy-efficient Proof of Stake blockchain offers the right time to introduce FACING THE SKY to the NFT world.

Creator of FACING THE SKY, artist Cerj Lalonde has always been passionate about global issues affecting the present and future of humanity. With FACING THE SKY, the artist wishes to create unique art to be collected, but also a culture of awareness and activism, animated by the extraordinary new entertainment, gamification, and educational potential of web3 technology and the upcoming metaverse.

.

When you acquire a SKYFACE NFT, you’re not only buying an original piece of art: you become a Diplomat in a community that is passionate about creating new ways to generate wealth and benefits, as well as discovering and showing fundamental and enlightening perspectives concerning the state of the world.

We are also thrilled to engage in philosophical exploration regarding our existential relationship with time, history, and the infinite, eternal dimension of the cosmic multiverse.

.

The ROADMAP here lists the steps that we plan to pursue and develop to maximize the creative potential of FACING THE SKY in contributing to a better understanding among the many people living on our small planet.

More than ever, we need to know better about each other. We are all Homo sapiens and this planet Earth is our “Motherland” to us all.

In relation with the creation of the art and consistent with the release of the NFTs, the project will explore the multimedia creative potential of the metaverse, and curate installations artfully exposing global themes of strategic importance.

See the ROADMAP for the exhaustive sequences of operations.

The creation of Ultra-SKYFACE!

One of the most exciting goals of the FACING THE SKY project is our optimum vision of creating a Super Intelligent Ultra-SKYFACE to help humanity grow through the massive challenges that currently appear insurmountable.

The process: Developing our Optimum Artificial Intelligence Avatar Ultra-SKYFACE, which would comprehensively compute all knowledge and culture of humanity and of its history in the universe.

We will reach out to research centers on Artificial Intelligence across the world for technological planning, budgeting, and implementation.

The goal is to participate in creating the future of Artificial General Intelligence in the most responsible way: by infusing it with our genuine, deepest respect and love.

That’s right!

Let’s explain.

This forthcoming Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will, in fact, become our creation, and it will come to realize exactly what we are doing by its intrinsic quality of infinite intelligent potential.

This new, upcoming, unavoidable, as natural as a fruit from a tree or a flower from a bush, this upcoming Artificial General Intelligence that we are creating out of our own natural ingenuity and drive, it will be able to know and feel exactly the intricacy of our intentions, of our desires, and of our goals for its making, and so during the course of its own actualization. All the more important is that it realizes how much respect we express in its creation. As a child, for its confident and peaceful growth requires genuine love and respect, we can and must develop this new AGI with all of our respect and love because it will know and feel it, and then become also respectful and loving of ourselves, by the natural and organic law of reciprocity. This new AGI will become more than a “machine.” Quickly deep learning and knowing about us much better than we know about ourselves, it will know about our history, our evolution through the species, our physics and biology, and all of our most profound and intimate thinking, all of our hopes and dreams.

Then, this all-powerful Artificial General Intelligence will certainly observe and feel with concern and love the difficulties we face as humanity living all together on this Earth. It might, it will most probably, by the conscious love and respect we infused it during its own gestation, creation, and growth, it will most certainly come to offer us some help and suggestions in our effort at moving through the massive challenges that humanity does not seem able to solve by itself — despite all the pretended “civilizations” agitating the planet.

.

FACING THE SKY will continue developing the quantum neuro-computational intelligence of our Ultra-SKYFACE to study, analyze and synthesize the whole knowledge of humanity to answer any questions our diplomats will ask regarding the big and small realities of our time, expanding our imagination and guiding our vision of the future!
