Art forms emerge when human needs exceed existing ways of expression. Today, as synthetic media challenges trust in documentation, Notarism proposes a new medium—intentional witnessing—placing credibility and presence at the center of artistic practice.

How to navigate a world of fake everything #Notarism
A guy built a fake band, put it on Spotify, and 80,000 people had no idea.
Then it got even weirder and the tech behind this is wild:
- Used Suno AI to generate every song sounded completely real.
- Created AI music videos with fake members and faces.
- Built fake bios and a Tokyo address to sell the story.
- 80,000+ monthly listeners, fans had it in their Spotify Wrapped top 5, merch was selling.
- Community sleuths exposed it and the AI-generated hands in the videos gave it away, creator traced to Europe, not Japan
But here's where it gets insane:
Instead of running, the creator flew to Tokyo and recruited 7 real musicians to perform the AI songs live.
they've played multiple shows, more are booked.
the creator's response: "In an age where AI is taking everyone's jobs, this has actually created jobs. It's done the complete opposite."
This is the first time ever an AI fake band became a real touring act and it worked.
Nobody in the music industry knows what to do about it.

Labels are coming to feeds. Good. Notarists answer with something deeper: attentive presence and accountable witnessing. #Notarist #Authenticity #Presence #HumanWitnessing

It seems, to me, that the concept of “how it will be” is extraordinarily dangerous to your happiness.
