aeforia

aeforia is an artist from Montreal, Canada. His work is all about colors, balance, and emotion. Blending surreal landscapes and digital portraiture, he has managed to craft a distinct style over the years and develop a keen eye for details, while focusing on the emotional impact. His work encompasses many types of artistic self-expression, such as photography, musical composition, with a heavy focus on 3D art and animation.

He began creating digital art using his phone in 2014, and has since collaborated with many brands and musicians as his style developed into intricate and colorful artworks. He has worked with companies such as Bershka, Pantone and Opera, as well as musicians like Odesza, Yung Gravy, Haywyre, Deathpact and Kidswaste.

His art now focuses on the creation of ethereal characters by utilizing digital fashion design and organic and detailed sculpting as means of expression. It is rooted in self-introspection and aeforia translates his own human experience through these abstract and otherworldly figures and surreal landscapes. An expressive yet sophisticated use of texture, color, and composition can be recognized in his visual explorations.

Andrea Bonaceto

Andrea Bonaceto (Pisa, 1989) is an Italian artist and entrepreneur. He embraced visual art as a further means to express himself together with poetry and music, ultimately aiming at binding these disciplines together into one comprehensive practice.

Bonaceto does not have a formal artistic background. He studied Economics at University of Pisa and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Pisa, Italy), and Finance at Imperial College London (UK). Involved in the blockchain space since 2017 he is among the founding partners at Eterna Capital, an investment firm focused on this technology. Moreover, he is the co-founder of Aorist, a next generation cultural institution supporting a climate forward NFT marketplace, as well as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA).

Nestled at the intersection of art and technology, his artworks are created independently or in collaboration with others such as the humanoid and world-renowned Sophia The Robot, with whom Bonaceto released works in 2021. Recently, he was commissioned by Corriere della Sera to interpret through an NFT the first page of the newspaper from 1969 announcing that “Man is on the moon”.

His work has been featured in international venues and institutions such as Museo della Permanente in Milan during DART 2121, W1 Curates and Christie’s headquarters in London, Times Square and Dreamverse Gallery in New York, and Decentral Art Pavilion in Venice.

His artwork AB INFINITE 1, can update itself through the user interaction on social networks. The piece was auctioned at Christie’s prestigious “20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale” on October 13, 2022, as the only digital work in the lot.

Through the blockchain, artificial intelligence and programmable art, Bonaceto aims at conveying an interactive as well as introspective experience for the audience, highlighting throughout the journey the improvements that Web3 can bring to society.

Carmilla

Carmilla Sumantry is an interdisciplinary artist and designer based in Vancouver, Canada. As a creative jack of all trades and trained as an industrial designer, she carries experience in a variety of fields and mediums; including furniture design, graphic design, oil painting, and digital art.

Forever gravitating towards the intersection of art and design, a pivot into the NFT art world was a natural transition. In early 2021, she began publishing and selling 1/1 3D animated artwork as NFTs. This body of work is representative of surrealist dream-states and translations of escapism, informed by design and colour theory. Each piece is an expression of personal growth, existential thought, and mindful interpersonal connection; with an intent grounded in spiritual awareness.

This new medium led to several collaboration, consulting, and community-building opportunities; as well as an enlightened passion for the potential culture-shifting power of the web3 space. Carmilla plans to continue building a diverse career as an independent creative in web3 and beyond.

In 2018 Hackatao also introduced augmented reality into their practice for the first time, an umbilical cord between the physical works and the digital tokens. Before having entered the crypto sphere, the artists would also experiment with physical medium such as ceramics, drawing and painting on canvas as well as three-dimensional surfaces.

Hackatao investigate historical and pop cultural phenomena in their signature flat style, shedding light onto contemporary social, political and environmental issues and debates.
