The once-mighty realms of MySpace and Tumblr, were marked by the spirit of discovery, the endless scroll, and the mindful curation of content that enchanted the souls of creators and enthusiasts alike. When Yahoo came into play, the winds of change blew, and the landscape was quickly dominated by Facebook and Instagram likes. The attention economy threatened to consume the very essence of creativity, diluting the essence of the digital communities that had once formed around real shared interests and aesthetics. 

In 2018, NEWLIFE recognized the need for a space that nurtured the new era of creativity and rewarded novelty in positive feedback loop. The platform sought to restore the power to the creators and bring forth a renaissance of artistic expression.

The mission of NEWLIFE was to ignite the creative spark within each individual, offering a mesmerizing experience that redefined self-expression and contributed to a regenerative digital ecosystem.

NEWLIFE sought to nurture communities of digital artists who formed clusters of intelligence that would delineate the upcoming trends.

The year 2019 marked the introduction of NU'VI (now called new.graph), a democratic algorithm that placed AI as an amplifier of human capacities. As the platform soared, it amassed a vast expanse of inputs from aesthetic innovators in the domains of visual arts, fashion, graphic design, and architecture. The soul of NU’VI reads, indexes, and analyzes, and filters through machine learning while also developing anomaly detection, trading bots, analytics, and AI-assisted decision-making. All this generates the most accurate trend predictions.
