it’s been a busy week. also really thrilled to add the grind, love, improve physical from @mayaonthenet latest show to @0xassembly I have immense adoration for her practice and feel that starquest and its extending experiences is my favorite work of hers to date

Our @ArtBasel Hong Kong install is underway and blind presales for 'Mirror Stages' have opened, kicked off by @0xassembly, followed closely by @coleccion_solo and @seloresiste. Sessions sold include 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗩𝗜𝗜 (𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮: 𝗤𝗪𝗘𝗡), 𝗜𝗫 (𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟯: 𝗚𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶), and 𝗫𝗜𝗜𝗜 (𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟰: 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸). These works are yet to be born. Botto will be creating live at the fair, producing 20 works through successive two-hour generative sessions. Each begins from a seed image that is continuously transformed using Botto’s memory and cues from a live audience. Each will be a permanent record of Botto’s first embodied installation, its first encounter with a physical audience. The large language model steering Botto's architecture will change each day of the fair, highlighting a core question of identity within Botto’s practice. With each work transforming the same seed image, whatever continuity or divergence emerges across the five days is a live register of that tension of where identity actually resides. Each day therefore forms its own distinct chapter within the series, shaped by a different model and mode of reasoning. Collectively the works will trace the full breadth of this study. The installation will begin tomorrow as Art Basel opens, on March 25th at 12pm midday HKT and the first generation will commence. All tokens are available at any time. Each is currently represented by the Mirror Stages seed image, and will populate on the collection page as soon as each work is completed live, linked below ⬇️

A beautiful way to close Madrid Art Week. Last night, members and friends of @100collectors and @onkaos__ gathered at @coleccion_solo for a special evening around Autobahn by @nikitadiakur, a new commission for SOLO Contemporary presented by Onkaos. The night began with an immersive dinner inspired by German food, echoing the spirit of Autobahn. Guests then got to experience the project more playfully. A car connected to the work invited everyone to drive and honk, briefly bringing the logic of the simulation into the physical world. Afterwards, guests were treated to a private tour through both the public and hidden spaces of SOLO CSV. The kind of experience meant to live only in memory. The evening concluded with a final cocktail and conversations among collectors, artists, and friends. A big thank you to @aval0vara + @oscarhormigos from Onkaos for making this evening possible, and to all the 100 collectors members who joined us for Madrid Art Week. Stay tuned for the upcoming digital release of the cars from Autobahn, a very personal project by Nikita Diakur and his team. 🚗
