Frenemies: Global approaches to rebalance the Big Tech v journalism relationship

Courtney C. Radsch

Monday, August 29, 2022

VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COMOne of the world’s most successful NFT artists, the Italian contemporary artist and blockchain pioneer Andrea Bonaceto, is taking over the W1 Curates art display façade to Flannels’ flagship store on London’s Oxford Street from 16 May 2022 with a new interactive installation of his work titled AB Infinite 1. The artwork represents an interactive snapshot of Andrea Bonaceto’s life in the eternal cycle that goes “ab infinite” (Latin for “from infinity”) to the origin, symbolised by the number “1”. As an interactive digital installation AB Infinite 1 invites members of the public to become artists themselves, encouraging viewers to alter the digital artwork through a specially designed AI (Artificial Intelligence) mechanism. Andrea’s purpose-built AI collects viewer interactions online through social media channels and turns these reactions or suggestions into visual responses which then appear as part of AB Infinite 1. This represents a new user-friendly form of AI, which does not require the user to be a software specialist or coder in order to manipulate it. Those viewing the installation on Oxford Street, will be able to watch as AB Infinite 1 morphs in appearance as people interact with the piece on social media. He comments: “AB Infinite 1 represents my most profound work so far. It took me years before I had the courage to open up to people and show my art publicly. Once I did that, I went through a cathartic phase that allowed me to better understand who I am. This process is still ongoing, but I can now safely say it’s not a road I am travelling alone. Through compassion and love we need to come together as a community and become one entity. With this spirit I created the first iteration of AB Infinite 1. I consider this artwork as permanently unfinished, as I hope there will always be someone in the future who wants to be part of it together with me.”To make this even more accessible
