Meet LiveTheLifeTV, the creative force behind the FUTURE SCAPES art series.

LTL's journey began at Quiksilver, where his contributions to the Image Control team played a crucial role in the launch of flagship stores, noteworthy events, and the development of a novel marketing and PR strategy. This foundation set the stage for his pioneering work in WebTV technology, long before platforms like YouTube became household names. In 1999, his early achievements in video streaming, in collaboration with Akamai, garnered recognition from Apple.com, featuring him and his partner as webTV pioneers on the homepage. A milestone. What's next?

LTL has had the privilege of interviewing luminaries in the action sports domain and contributing to prestigious international publications. This experience honed his storytelling skills and deepened his appreciation for the arts, laying the groundwork for his future ventures.

Driven by a passion for curating unique experiences, LTL founded LiveTheLifeTV—a curated hub for distinctive boutique hotels and luxury surf properties. In 2017 his platform reflected his keen eye for the transformative potential of NFTs for photographers, offering a space where art and technology intersect to create new opportunities for creative expression and monetization. Onchain royalties was his AHA moment. Advised against launching his NFT platform, he didn't file the patent.

LTL began exploring Machine Learning and AI, initially to develop chat agents for his lifestyle travel and luxury surf real estate startup. Later, driven purely by artistic motives, he embarked on a creative journey with AI, experimenting with MidJourney and other AI tools to push the boundaries of artistic expression. He uses Dream Machine for image-to-video generation, Topaz Labs and Magnific.ai for upscaling, Eleven Labs for music, voice-over, and sound design, and Davinci Resolve 19 for grain, color grading, and editing. Currently, he is exploring Runwayml models for next-generation webTV productions with Gen-3 and rethinking the future of PFPs. Customization of Gen-3 models allows for even stylistically controlled and consistent characters and specific artistic and narrative requirements.

ABOUT

At ikigAI Labs XYZ, I collaborate closely with the leadership, engineering, and design teams to create tools that creators will love, enabling them to offer collectors enchanting new experiences. My role encompasses driving the product cycle, addressing the what, why, how, and when: determining what we are building, why it matters, how we will build it, and when we will launch.

I engage with collectors and curators to gather feedback, transforming it into a clear product vision and roadmap. Working with design, I translate this vision into pixel-perfect materials ready for development. I partner with the engineering team to bring the vision to life, ensuring the successful delivery of the final product.

I complete the product loop by defining and measuring key success metrics with collectors, curators, and creators. Additionally, I align our team daily, weekly, and monthly on our vision and strategy as we explore this brave new world onchain.
