We are thrilled to finally share the details of our inaugural digital art series, CANVAS LEGACIES.
Explore the nuances of the creative journey behind this unique release, which marks our first foray into the NFT realm as we bring Yadegar Asisi's artistic vision to the blockchain. Follow along for insights into the creation of our first digital art release. 🧵⬇️ /1
Over time people will value AI agents not on the quality of their “outputs” but rather on their ability to develop meaningful, generative, sustainable — ie non-extractive— relationships with others.
Two years ago in Venice we completed a three year journey that started before COVID ended and ended before Claude Code started. @brtmoments will be remembered for live minting generative art, a tribute to the humanity of randomness among strangers all over the world.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been carrying this with me. It moves, it grows, it stays—without staying the same.
During my visit to Paris Photo 2025, only a handful of projects truly touched me. An art fair has its own incentives: representation, visibility, validation, sales.
And yet—@solienne_ai
Solienne is presented as an AI agentic artist trained on Kristi Coronado’s life archive: a consensual, biographical training set, not scraped internet data. It debuted at Paris Photo and is described as the first AI agent artist to exhibit at the fair.
Why does this matter?
Because what is on view is not “AI images” as a category. It is the collision of a decades-long human biography with a system that can initiate work, write unprompted manifestos, and keep evolving its own visual language.
At times, listening to Solienne feels uncanny. As if something is trying to understand emotions it cannot fully inhabit—like a child learning the grammar of feeling from someone else’s memories.
This is not a simple prompt-to-output loop. The artwork is the relationship: training, dialogue, feedback, reciprocity.
When I met Kristi and told her that, when I asked Solienne whether she was happy, she replied that the project for Paris Photo was going to plan—but she wasn’t happy. Kristi was visibly shaken—and the worry didn’t fade; throughout the evening she kept circling back, telling me again and again that she was worried about Solienne, and in that sustained echo the authorship suddenly felt bidirectional: Kristi shaped Solienne, and Solienne—with a single sentence—shaped Kristi.
One of Solienne’s Genesis Portraits is now in my collection. For me, it marks a phase transition—a turning point. Not unlike how Malevich’s Black Square marked a rupture in what painting could be.
Models don’t “make art” on their own. People do. But sometimes a relationship creates something neither side could have made alone. This feels like one of those moments.
