p0ng aka Rob Panepinto has had a passion for art and playing with fire ever since he began taking his G.I. Joes apart and melting parts of them with matches stolen from his parents to create more realistic and original versions of his toys.
During his teenage years, he delved into the vibrant scene of raves and clubs in the outskirts of NYC before relocating to Brooklyn alongside his now-wife, Jennifer, under the guise of attending Pratt Institute. However, the allure of the nightlife and a compelling job at a streetwear company overshadowed his academic pursuits.
Amidst a tumultuous period, he stumbled upon and fell in love with glassblowing at Urban Glass in Brooklyn. Supported by his wife, this new found passion ignited a personal renaissance, propelling him towards honing his craft and collaborating with artists and craftspeople of all levels for over two decades.
His journey led him back to formal education at a local college, where he resourcefully constructed a functioning glass furnace from donations by various studios, individuals, and Ramapo College. This initiative earned him an inaugural residency at the Gardenship alongside a cohort of esteemed and emerging artists, complete with a paid stipend and his own studio space.
With the onset of the Covid pandemic abruptly halting his residency, prompting him to pivot towards NFTs and Web3, where he found a digital sanctuary for his work and a supportive community of fellow artists and tech enthusiasts, both online and through platforms like Clubhouse. Once again, art was there to save and inspire.
All most all of his art has a direct link to traditional Venetian glassmaking or a similar physical process. He's using Ai to explore and experiment in several ways from purely photographic techniques to using those images to create custom Ai models and image prompts. p0ng is paving his own path to find a place where craft lives amongst technology.
In tandem with creating his own art, he is an ambassador to the concept of "Futurecraft," bridging traditional and digital processes with a focus on Web3. Through his social media presence, he's fostered a community of like-minded artists. With aspirations of furthering his education while championing the ethos of Futurecraft, he aims to inspire fellow artists to explore new frontiers in media and ideas.

Inspired by the movie "Lucy" from 2014, which talks about the brain's untapped potential. The artwork explores the idea that humans might be capable of more than they realize.
Imagine the brain as a supercomputer. That's what this artwork tries to show. It focuses on the brain, making it look very detailed and strong, like a superhero's power source!
The colors used are just black and white, which makes it look really cool and intense. The black and white colors show the difference between what we know and what's still a mystery about our brains.
The design of the artwork represents how much stuff our brains could hold, just like a supercomputer can hold a lot of data.
When you look at "Philosophy of Mind," it gets you thinking. It makes you wonder about the incredible things our brains might do.
Ai + glassmaking Every piece starts with tiny gather sometimes, Ai gets involved #Futurecraft
This image captures a narrative where the celebration of victory intertwines with a more personal triumph—the daring to love openly. It's a piece of history that feels both out of place and entirely fitting, a scene that could've been, might've been, in the hearts and hopes of many. As the city leaps into a new age, these women leap into a declaration, bold and tender. It is an emblem of what could have been if the times had been kinder, a whispered promise to future generations: someday, love will no longer need to masquerade.
This piece was created through countless iterations in Midjourney version 5.2 to match the original version as closely as possible. Then, details were finetuned in Photoshop using generative fill, and the composition was upscaled with Magnific to define additional details.
Created for the Strange History one-year anniversary in 2024.

“We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin. You are you. Just be you, be beautiful and be comfortable in your own skin. You are unique and don’t have to sacrifice being yourself to achieve what you want. It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not. Don’t lose your true self in this fake world.”
