I just wanted to share a bit of background about me and my work. I also wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone that has supported me up till now. It has made it possible for me to continue doing what I love and look forward to sharing the new things I am discovering soon. 💜
Gn ! Last night was truly special! So many people turned up at the “Auntiescapes” opening and many happy smiles after taking pics at the “mirror into auntieverse” . Others stared in wonder at the incredible screens of @LoadGallery which felt like it should be a “digital art extension at the Louvre” (same grandeur and scale)
Another open art night tomorrow and artist talk if you can make it ! 💚🐸💚
Reading this today feels almost prophetic.
The computer was imagined as a way to expand visual possibility, but AI pushes this further, opening spaces beyond cultural memory or learned imagery.
For me, these tools are not just generating images but allowing encounters with realities that feel discovered rather than invented. A new visual language is emerging, somewhere between imagination and experience.

As some of you may know, I have been mostly housebound since late 2019, due to mobility impairment from worsening spinal disease and knee arthritis, and other health challenges. When I do leave the house, it is almost always for medical appointments. The image at top left depicts the route on my way to one such appointment.
I found this image in my photo gallery yesterday. There’s nothing special about the image that I can see now. But since it’s of poor quality, and was in my iPad and not my phone, then I suspect it’s not a photo taken from my car, but instead captured from Google Earth.
Since 2019 I have spent a great deal of time “traveling” and capturing images using Google Earth and Street View. (I was recently so happy to learn about @ArgletonLane’s amazing work in this vein!) You might be surprised to learn that almost all of the Frags—those rotating crystal 3D sculptures with various scenes inside, that captured a lot of attention last Fall—were informed by my Google Earth travels, from a four-horse town in New Mexico, to the ruins of a city street in Gaza City.
My newest work incorporates a different color scheme, lighting, and composition than my recent work, and also now takes place in more urban settings. Called “Flags”, 4 of them will be available on auction beginning tomorrow, Tues, Feb 10, on @FellowshipAI at https://t.co/SXwiOaWudq.

alignDRAW: Celebrating 10 Years of the Project
“A group of happy elephants in the green grass field #63” by @elmanmansimov → Collected by @ArgletonLane
The alignDRAW → The Essays 📄
In 2015, @elmanmansimov's alignDRAW showed that a neural network could turn text into images, small 32×32 pixel results that pointed to a new way of making pictures. Ten years later, we’re marking that moment with a large-format book.
As part of the publication, we gathered five essays that explore alignDRAW from different perspectives, reflecting on how a research experiment became part of the broader conversation around image-making and computation.
↓ Featuring essays by:
Diving into Observation #090 as a dev wiring up decentralized realms, that crimson portal doesn't just reflect it refracts the whole damn user journey.
Cause: Jacqui hacks the surveillance stream, pulling ethereal glitches from Argleton Lane's void, where timestamps like 23:05:43 etch permanent provenance onchain.
Effect: viewers glitch out too, swapping passive scrolls for active forks suddenly your wallet's not a vault, it's a wormhole spawning alternate selves in the metaverse.
Risky as hell, but that's the alpha: static art dies, reflective narratives thrive, turning collectors into co-creators.
@FellowshipAi, you're engineering mindshare one mirror at a time.
What happens when dApps start embedding these portals, forcing users to confront their onchain shadows? @argletonlane@0xjwpe
Welcome to the Daily Program @JenPanepinto!
Jen has been developing a distinctive voice through her art. The use of light and motion, combined with images that touch on the weight of the self and contemporary life, connects many of her pieces. I first reached out to her in May of last year and have seen how she's been able to consistently develop new ideas within this framework of themes. We are delighted to have her join the @fellowshiptrust program. I know her contributions to what these digital tools can create will be important.
Here is a tease of what she is developing for the program🔥
thank you to everyone who reached out with support since the unfortunate news broke of christie's closing the digital art dept.
i remain at christie’s as a digital art specialist and am deeply proud of what we’ve built over the past 3 years since i joined. i'm especially grateful to the artists, collectors, and colleagues i’ve had the privilege to work with and the huge milestones we achieved together.
a special thanks to @nicoleasales, whose leadership and partnership have meant so much, and to @annaroszak12, whose growth has been inspiring - both would be dream hires for any team.
while it may take some time to get it right within this new structure, digital art will continue to be part of our 20th / 21st century sales. i am grateful to stay on and keep pushing the space forward however i can.

»Art isn’t disappearing. It’s just moving, becoming more accessible and less tied to one physical location. The old model was built on scarcity and prestige. The new one runs on access and attention. The question isn’t whether galleries will survive, but which ones can change fast enough to matter.«
