At Art Basel Miami Beach, Tezos will present a unique interactive NFT exhibition entitled Humans + Machines: NFTs and the Ever-Evolving World of Art (December 2-4, 2021) – and even invites the public on site create and stamp your own NFTs.
The space will display a collection of artwork from some of the world’s leading generative and NFT artists, including Helena Sarin, Matt DesLauriers, Sutu (Stuart Campbell) and Iskra Velitchkova, among others. It will culminate in a unique experience by the German artist Mario Klingemann, which invites the participants to get involved and jointly generate a unique NFT snack that will be stamped on the Tezos blockchain. The NFT is created through physical interaction with the space, which leads to an abstract self-portrait work of art generated from a code designed by Klingemann.
The exhibition aims to raise awareness of the new dynamics that both NFTs and the ever-evolving world of generative art are bringing to the art world. The idea of collaboration between man and machine underlines the role of creativity and what it means to actively participate in creating art.
Klingemann, also known as Quasimondo, is considered one of the pioneers of AI art, neural networks and machine learning. As an artist who uses algorithms and artificial intelligence to create and study systems, he is particularly interested in the human perception of art and creativity and researches methods with which machines can complement or emulate these processes. His artwork has been shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Photographers’ Gallery, KM Karlsruhe, Center Pompidou and more. In particular, his installation Memories of Passersby I made history in March 2019 as the first autonomous AI machine to be successfully auctioned off at Sotheby’s.
“It’s an honor to be part of the Tezos NFT experience at Art Basel in Miami Beach. This interactive exhibition explores the interplay between technology and human creativity and where the boundaries between humans and machines bleed as part of the generative art process. While the work can be machine-made, a self-portrait is a deeply human thing, so I hope this explores questions of human nature and perception and all that is expressed in automated systems. “
said Klingemann.
