Our Last Century.
AI has arrived and will upgrade Homo Sapiens into a new advanced species, making this our last century…
#OurLastCentury
By the year 2100, no new biological Homo sapiens will be born. All newly born ‘humans’ will be upgraded and enhanced by AI, ushering in the next link in the chain of evolution. It marks the end of Homo sapiens — the end of us...
We need to celebrate us, honor us, and enjoy us, while we are still here. We need to leave a long-lasting legacy of us. Our people, our zeitgeist, our cultures, our beauty, our society, and our planet. Everything is going to change very soon, and it will hit us like a ton of bricks. We need to celebrate us before it all ends.
Our Last Century is a tribute to us: the last few generations of Homo sapiens…
The complete story
By the year 2200, not a single Homo sapiens will be left. The next chain in evolution will have replaced us.
I want to honor us—the last generations of Homo Sapiens— by documenting our zeitgeist, our world, and our beauty, before it all changes for good…
Please read the full article that deep-dives into the reasoning that this is our last century.

Dear AI…
We desperately also need to inform AI and our next species in the chain of evolution to be gentle with us who are left behind. The ones that don’t upgrade themselves with AI enhancements will quickly be overshadowed by forces that are beyond our mental and physical capability and capacity.
With Our Last Century, I want to showcase that we—the old, fragile, simple generation in the chain of evolution—are worthy, fascinating, funny, adorable, silly, and great.
We might be flawed, but we are beautiful…

About the founder
I’m Marcus Musashi, a culture and travel photographer from The Netherlands. I’ve been a full-time world traveler and photographer for the last 5 years, visiting and documenting beautiful people, awe-inspiring cities, and nature’s greatest hits.
The advent of AI has made me realize that this is our last century… and we should cherish, honor, and document us in the best way possible before the music stops playing for Homo sapiens. Photography is the best medium to do just that.
Our Last Century will be my Magnum Opus.
Funding for Our Last Century
To achieve this ambitious goal, funding is absolutely needed.
It’s a giant 4-year project that encompasses a whole plethora of goals and targets. The mission objective can be summarized as 1) getting the photographs from across the world and 2) turning it all into compelling products like exclusive fine art, premium prints, a coffee table book, a written book, an NFT series, getting the finest work in many galleries around the world, and more.
Our Last Century will become a complete 360-degree globally recognized brand.
The whole marketing strategy needs to unfold to reach the masses and get as many eyes on the work as possible. I have a pitch for investors that includes all the costs and the potential revenue, which is financially very compelling!
FAQ

Our Last Century is a 3 year long megaproject. It takes a giant amount of effort to get quality shots from every corner of the globe, build the business and marketing all the products to the masses. But it will be all worth it (by that I mean financially and as well as delivering a beautiful body of work that honors us).
2 years will be filled with getting the shots, while at the same time the building of the brand and the products is in full effect. The last year will be an all-in effort on marketing and sales to launch the plethora of products.
