Critically Extant: AI Art Private Viewing with Meanwhile

​Critically Extant by Sofia Crespo is a project that explores just how little we know about the natural world by testing the limits of the data openly available to us in our digital lives. To achieve this, AI algorithms were trained on millions of open source images of nature and some ten thousand species. The resulting models were then used to generate visual representations of species that are critically endangered, yet have little or no online presence specially on social media The goal of this was to not only trace the edges of our knowledge, but to also explore how we can create feedback loops in the digital that can be positive for the natural world.

​Join us for an exclusive closing reception during Armory Week in New York. As a Bitcoin-denominated life insurance provider, Meanwhile is proud to sponsor this event and looking forward to bringing together a select group of collectors, crypto enthusiasts, and business leaders for this special occasion celebrating Sofia's groundbreaking work at the intersection of art, nature and artificial intelligence.
