## Plenty of art about AI. Very little you could defend.

Work made with or about artificial intelligence is everywhere, and most of it is impossible to tell apart. Buyers and curators are left guessing whether there is an idea behind the image, who actually made it, and whether the provenance will survive a second look. Getting that wrong costs money, and it costs credibility.

## What you can acquire

### Originals and limited editions

One-of-a-kind and small-edition works, individually signed, with certificate and/or blockchain provenance. From 250 to 16,000 CAD.

### Open-edition prints and records

Posters and vinyl made for wider circulation, mostly 35.50 to 125 CAD, with some works free to download.

### Digital works, commissions, exhibitions

Free browser works, commissioned archival prints from 250 to 1,500 CAD, and projects for festivals, galleries and institutions.

## Argued, signed, on the record

Backing work about AI means betting it will still make sense later, and that is a fair thing to hesitate over. Each piece here begins from a published position, "The Age of Beauty", and is made by an artist who spent more than a decade researching human enhancement and AI ethics. Selected works are released in strictly limited numbers, individually signed, and verified via blockchain provenance and/or a signed certificate of authenticity. The exhibition and press record is published in full on the CV page.

## Start with a question

You own or present a work with a clear idea behind it, documented provenance and a public exhibition record: something you can explain to anyone who asks, and that still reads well in ten years.
