AB INFINITE 1 represents an interactive snapshot of Andrea Bonaceto’s life in the eternal cycle that goes “ab infinite” (Latin for “from infinity”) to the origin, symbolised by the number “1”. As an interactive digital installation AB INFINITE 1 invites members of the public to become artists themselves, encouraging viewers to alter the digital artwork through a specially designed artificial intelligence (AI) mechanism.
Andrea’s purpose-built AI collects viewer interactions online through social media channels and turns these reactions or suggestions into visual responses which then appear as part of AB INFINITE 1. This represents a new user-friendly form of AI, which does not require the user to be a software specialist or coder in order to manipulate it.
This innovative approach is possible thanks to the efficiency of the Algorand blockchain, which is used as the technological backbone for this project. Algorand is widely considered as the world's most decentralised, environmentally friendly, scalable, and secure blockchain infrastructure.
