The Invitation is the first minted AI artwork by VESA. We trained a custom AI algorithm with Anttu on 10.000 photographs of VESA’s model shoots, as well as 10.000 images of his layer paintings and the Senses series style. Only the best of the generative effort is included in the series, aiming for an initial release of only 100 works.

This work is called the invitation, as it invites the collector to go deeper into what the image really means. You will first see an attractive woman laying on a cosmic bed of art, underneath which a new realm seems to open. This is not a real woman of course, but even in the real-world beauty can be trapping. None of us really know what we are doing with AI yet, and we don’t fully see its potential existential hazards. In contrast to the very human artisan line, do you feel like this manages to capture something similar? Or is it vastly different?

If the reserve price is met + 3000 usd worth of BTC, the work will come with a signed print

If the reserve price is met with +6000 usd worth of BTC on top, it will include an animation of the same work, so the print works with AR.

If the reserve price is met with 12K usd worth of BTC on top, the deal will include the above, as well a News BTC article regarding the auction and the collector of the artwork.

You can collect the artwork in two ways:
