Involved in the blockchain space since the early days, he is among the founders at Eterna Capital, an investment firm focused on this technology. Nestled at the intersection of art and technology, his artworks are created independently or in collaboration with others such as the AI humanoid robot Sophia, with whom Bonaceto released works in 2021. Andrea was also commissioned by Corriere della Sera to interpret through an NFT the first page of the newspaper from 1969 announcing the Moon landing.
