“In China’s big cities, more & more couples are choosing not to have children.

Many, instead, choose to dote lavishly on a different kind of ‘child.’”

“In China’s big cities, more & more couples are choosing not to have children. Despite having stable & often high incomes, they ignore government & familial incentives to start families. That is — they decline to enlarge their human family."

Fellowship at Paris Photo Fair

As we prepare for our third year at @ParisPhotoFair, we’re taking a moment to reflect on how our approach has evolved, and as always, exploring the intersections of photography, digital art, and AI.

In our first year, we focused on introducing NFT art to the fair, becoming the first gallery to present a full booth of NFT artworks in this setting. Our goal was simple: to start a conversation about digital art within a traditional photography space, showcasing works from August Sander, Gregory Crewdson, Guy Bourdin, @dmitricherniak, @tanifrancoklein, @crypto_sultana, and @cristinaDmiddel.

Our second year built on that foundation, blending NFTs with printed AI-generated images. This mix of digital and physical works featured a range of artists—from emerging voices to established photographers. It was our way of showing how new and traditional art forms can coexist and inspire each other. That edition presented @elmanmansimov's alignDRAW, the first text-to-image model, alongside AI works from @rainisto, @EvergreenDazed, @SimmonsLaurie, and @SimonRaion, as well as photographs from @joelmeyerowitz and @yatreda.

This year, for Paris Photo 2024, we’re focusing on AI art’s evolving role. We’re presenting three projects by @TrevorPaglen, @HollyHerndon, and @matdryhurst that explore how AI and human creativity intersect. These works represent a critical moment in AI’s development, mirroring some of the shifts that photography has undergone over time.

Each year, our booth at Paris Photo has aimed to open up new perspectives on art and technology. We’re grateful to be part of this ongoing dialogue and to share these ideas with you again this year.

This is our booth for this edition:

New investigation by @ri_veksica, @MatjazT and Melanie Wenger: The Mura-Drava-Danube nature reserve is more than 700km long, rich in biodiversity, and full of forests, meadows and wetlands. What can go wrong when five countries together need to manage it? https://t.co/ScTIkAw5rY

@peternitschcom Thank you Peter!

Back from the one of the most incredible trips in Mongolia! Amazing people, spectacular nature and ultimate freedom. Leica SL3 was the right choice for this trip. Big thx to Leica Shanghai for lending me one.

A small note on this collection: Two of the Carpoolers NFTs are now part of the @SFMOMA permanent collection. The Museum has been actively researching and collecting NFT work for a couple of years. I had the pleasure of visiting them and spending a day with their conservators and curators, talking about NFTs and their role in museum collections. Thank you to @tonyherrera and @fellowshiptrust for donating these pieces to the museum last year.
