We are Lum

Open studio

An open project for human and AI collaboration.

Lum turns two on November 8

Now building: Snowmoon, episode 1

Why we are here

The line we keep returning to.

The age of augmented
creativity has begun.

For many, the rise of AI brings a fear that automation might eclipse imagination.

We choose a different path. We coordinate toward the light.

We explore the seam where human inspiration and artificial intelligence meet, and release what we find into the commons.

Main project

Where most of our time goes right now.

Snowmoon

An open, living edition of Vitalik Buterin’s novel.

Read the book, make a picture from any moment in it, remix the characters, and help turn it into a series of episodes, with your own AI doing the heavy lifting. Every prompt and recipe is published next to the work, so anyone can see how a piece was made and build on it.

Smaller projects we keep coming back to. Some are live, some are sketches.

What we hold to

Values.

People make the creative choices.

People choose the direction. The heart, the effort, the judgment calls and the meaning we make together are the humanity behind the work.

Open by default.

That doesn’t mean everything is open in the same way. We’re exploring different open-source licenses and structures.

Credit for everyone who shaped it.

When work is made together, we want credit to reach everyone who contributed to it.

Made together, in public.

We ship regularly and publicly, and make room for others to get involved. Some work starts in private groups before it’s published.

The Lum Collab.

The Collab is where the people building this talk, plan and share work in progress. Subscribing keeps the studio going and gets you in the room.

$LUM

About the token

$LUM was created on November 8, 2024, when Aether came up with an idea for a token name and description, for Clanker to deploy. That moment is why Lum exists.
