I like the intellectual and emotional layers of art and try to advance equity and representation in how culture is financed

What ChatGPT has to say about my latest Substack:

»I would publish that as is. It sounds like an original theory rather than ChatGPT English, and in this case that's probably more important than maximum stylistic smoothness.«

And here's the passage ChatGPT was referring to:

»And now that artists have collectors who take on the role Troemel once assigned to the audience and become co-creators by collaborating with artists through appreciation, they are also collaborating in the creation of value on the market. That's Flip Aesthetics.«

P.S. I use ChatGPT to translate my texts from German into English, not to write them. It does not like my writing style LOL

@m_blehaut Thanks for the work. It asks good questions.

[Marine Blehaut - AI Archives | Video art @m_blehaut]

Omg. My film 'Electric Mom' is sold out. 🎞️

I am so honored @Louis___M to see this edition in your collection.

'Electric Mom' is a posthumanist story in which an artificial mother is created to resurrect a lost wife.

She awakens, not through memory, but through embodied perception, gradually slipping beyond the confines of care and obedience.

Through a subtle, sensorial emancipation, the film reframes love and autonomy as incompatible with possession, allowing its machine protagonist to claim a life of her own.

Thank you so much for collecting this piece that is precious to me❤️

The film was presented in the collection 'Encoding Body' on @objktcom , with @objktlabs and @postanika

Protocol Artist Leo XIV

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.

@MonopolMagazin your article contains many factual errors and may in fact be the most fabricated piece of journalism ever created about me, and still managed to be largely uninteresting

"Proof of Palm" Pop-up Event!🌴🌴🌴

"People love palm trees! You wanna make a work of art that sells? Put out a palm tree and see what happens." (Artist Journal 428 12:56) 🌴

Next week marks the beginning of a potential Artist Journal blackout 😨 as @pocobelli is on vacation (again 🙄😅) So, what to do with both a long weekend and lack of AJ? Create art of course! And what better theme for a pop-up event than one that Adrian practically handed us with the above statement?

So fam, lets prove Adrian's theory, have some fun, and sell some art with an informal pop-up event to last until Adrian gets back from vacation!

Here are the guidelines for participating:

- Create palm tree themed art 🌴
- Mint with the hashtag: #proofofpalm
- Any number of editions at any price
- Event duration: Saturday, May 24th - Sunday, June 1st

The image no longer refers back to reality as its source

It destabilises inherited binaries — document and fiction, original and copy, observer and machine — replacing them with a continuous field of computational becoming

Monday night at Christie's, a Jackson Pollock sold for $181.2 million, nearly tripling the previous Pollock record and landing the painting at number four on the all-time auction list.

Let's take a moment to look at how the saliency map of 20th-century art history got concentrated quite so hard on one name.

Digital Art Summit 2026 | ACT 03

Trust, Time, and Taste: Inside a Digital Art Collection

June 15, 2026 | 11:40 - 12:25 CET

Collecting digital art is an act of trust. Trust in artists, in technologies, and in futures that are still unfolding. This conversation offers an intimate look into the motivations, relationships, and long-term commitments behind building a digital art collection. Beyond transactions and trends, it explores how taste is formed over time and how collectors live with artworks that evolve, persist, and sometimes resist ownership.
