“Sean Bonner’s “Connections” series explores the relationships that intertwine nature, humanity, and technology. Each piece in the collection merges the organic with the synthetic, inviting viewers to contemplate the intricate web of connections, communication, and interaction between people and their environment. The process of creating these images, built from Bonner’s original photographs, raises questions about the nature of reality and the distinction between human imagination and artificial intelligence. This work encourages the audience to consider the intricate relationship between inspiration and direction, as well as the line separating reality from the AI’s creative interpretation.”
The [editions] pieces in this collection each had a different method to mint, starting in 2023 and some still available today. Some required were exchanged in person only, others required burning previous work to further explore the connections between interactions and ownership, and value of each. A number of 1/1 pieces were created in these series, but so far have never been published.
