# Who we are & how it started?

## **Who?**

Thesis & Dysmorphia is a **women duo** coming from Europe. By incorporating their IRL scientific, psychological and entrepreneurial skills with CNFT knowledge they got, they want to create something meaningful to leave behind themselves.

## **How?**

This project started as a "together idea". It formed in a phase of their lives when Thesis was **on her way to PhD** and deep into reading and writing science, and when Dysmorphia was in a phase of **"painting" as a hobby**. Since they were both active in CNFT space, what Dysmorphia painted on that canvas - immediately looked like an NFT to both of them. That sparkled their interest in creating an NFT project. Also, being in science a lot at those times, Thesis had an idea of creating a project which would somehow represent "words of scientific writing" (such as *nevertheless, furthermore, thus far*, *respectively* etc.), since Thesis loved such words a lot. By talking about it more and transforming those first ideas, what they came up with is: **do science and NFT project together;** research CNFT space in scientific way and use the NFT project to leverage it and start the journey. 

Something else they needed to solve was: how to produce the actual NFTs - since neither of them was an artist? Thesis creating the "scientific words" and Dysmorphia painting on canvas was not an option. At that time, fortunately, **AI generated art** was becoming widely popular. Dysmorphia started playing with it, and started creating her Dysmorphic creatures - inspired by a phenomenon she was interested in, called "Snapchat Dysmorphia". Thus, the whole idea about Dysmorphia NFT project and the whole [story](https://thesis-and-dysmorphia.gitbook.io/lab-paper/dysmorphia/the-story) about it was created.

**Thesis & Dysmorphia seemed to be a perfect name**\
When two of those combined, they got a **perfect name** - **Thesis**, studying the space and publishing the results in a form of NFT, and **Dysmorphia**, a *regular* NFT project with PFP characters and story behind it.
