Hey everyone, just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who bid, supported, and followed the @Sothebysverse auction along the way. Still feels surreal scrolling through the collection and even chatting about it with my mum, turns out she’s a fan of Ahmet Güneştekin [who I

💫 To many, Realiti is one of the defining early AI + crypto artworks. Yet to me it still feels like it's not about the past but what's next, especially now more than ever. #3 is the lowest edition, paired with the first-ever print, and it’s closing tonight at Sotheby’s. ⏳

As we approach into the final 24 hours, this lovely thread gives a peek behind the scenes, with a WIP and a rough snap that really shows the physicality of the very first Realiti print ever made 🌌.
@tyaagnliu @OpenAI @mostdismalswamp Therefore, it’s not surprising that Realiti is a blend of all of these things - inspired by pop culture lyrics, early GAN aesthetic and web crawlers AI agent style. This Realiti edition is pretty special because it also includes a print 👀.

Thanks for the wonderful thread 🌺 touching on the lovely @ual_cci event where we first met IRL, my former e-sports days, AI sculptures, and of course; Realiti, which is now entering its final 24 hours at auction at @Sothebysverse @Sothebys . [+ damn, i shudda recorded that.
I first met @tyaagnliu in February this year at a @ual_cci performance. Turns out we had been in touch before during his @iklectikartlab years, but never met in person. Atay has too many aliases :)

Realiti #3 is currently sitting at 13 bids and has reached $2,600 USD. The auction ends tomorrow evening at 8.27pm BST in a rather stars-aligned fashion [pun very much intended], just as I’ll be speaking about my AI practice at the London Creative AI meet-up. Contemporary

A rare opportunity to acquire Quantum Climates (2025) by Libby Heaney, now live via Sotheby’s. Heaney is widely regarded as a leading voice in quantum art, and this piece exemplifies her pioneering approach. Conceptually, the work engages with how quantum technologies might.
Thanks to all the new followers I’ve had since @elluba and co have posted about my work 🙏. Quantum Climates auction is currently on 5 bids @Sothebysverse .

Check out this fab thread by @elluba on @danoramas 's work and practice 💚 . Featuring a piece currently up for auction via @Sothebysverse and @jaclynlavy.
To date, @danoramas is the only artist I know who made #DeepDream a core of his practice since 2016. He combines a proprietary version of the algorithm with computational photography to create stunning landscapes, where the technology crafts the aesthetic, but does not overpower.

Realiti #3 | Contemporary Discoveries | 2025 | Sotheby's. I usually prefer to frame it as ‘one of the firsts’, but it’s almost certain that Realiti was the first GAN collection on a unique contract on Ethereum, and possibly the first AI art collection to appear on OpenSea. As an

While Realiti #3 is still up for auction via @Sothebysverse, @jaclynlavy & @elluba, two new editions found homes today, with one selling for $4,527 USD. Huge thanks to the new collector 🌠 An absolutely stunning edition and easily one of the rarer ones in the series, I’d say.
