Celestium<\/a>, developed by Artificial Mind and the artist Cecilie Waagner Falkenstr\u00f8m, is a hybrid AI-blockchain algorithm that uses data from cosmic radiation it experiences onboard the\u00a0International Space Station<\/a>\u00a0(ISS) and turns it into images of space.<\/p>\n From February 1 – 15, 2022, the ISS will be transformed into an interactive art gallery where anyone from around the world can interact directly with the space images through the\u00a0Celestium and experience thousands of colorful images generated by the artwork\u2019s AI- algorithm.<\/p>\n \u201cAll of the data gathered from the software will create a series of digital tokens and AI-generated space images seeded from space radiation that the AI algorithm harvests aboard the ISS,\u201d said Falkenstr\u00f8m.<\/p>\n \u201cThe AI component of the algorithm is a generative adversarial network (GAN) that\u2019s trained on thousands of images of existing planets, stars and nebulas across the cosmos,\u201d said Falkenstr\u00f8m. \u201cIt uses that data to generate images of its unique celestial objects.\u201d<\/p>\n Falkenstr\u00f8m says that people will also see images of our solar systems and 600,000 asteroids. \u201cThe asteroids are linked to the AI-generated space images in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and they can get the AI-space images as NFTs.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis enables everybody to have ownership of a little part of the universe in a digital world,\u201d said Falkenstr\u00f8m. \u201cI believe the artwork scrutinizes questions about democratization and decentralization of space and will spark a conversation about how human actions in space can transform the quality of life of all of humanity, instead of serving as more wealth for the few.\u201d<\/p>\n It took more than a year for Falkenstr\u00f8m to get permission to have the AI-blockchain software onboard the ISS, which began in December 2021.<\/p>\n Falkenstr\u00f8m says Celestium artwork opens the door to democratic space exploration and mining participation. \u201cWe hope to raise awareness about the challenging questions about the future entanglement of space, technology, sustainability and humanity and challenge the capitalist power dynamics we see today in the modern space era.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAs a part of the interactive experience, individuals can take part in the creation of a global collaborative artwork that will also be sent into space to the International Space Station in March 2022,\u201d said Falkenstr\u00f8m.<\/p>\n All the artwork of digital images, the art NFTs and blockchain and images will be printed and video projected for future artwork exhibitions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
