The blockchain has elevated art to a new level. Artist Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm and art-tech team ARTificial Mind created AI and blockchain art on the International Space Station (ISS). It’s the first artwork ever to operate from space while it orbits the Earth on NASA’s spacecraft.

“All 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,”
Falkenstrøm told Forbes.

According to Celestium’s webpage, the artwork uses a hybrid AI/Blockchain algorithm that creates digital tokens from data from the ISS.

The outer space artwork is interactive: there is a 1000×1000 pixel canvas you can contribute to that will be sent to space in March 2022. The Celestium token will be sent to you and it can then be exchanged for NFTs or real asteroids.

“This enables everybody to have ownership of a little part of the universe in a digital world. I 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,”
said Falkenstrøm.

You can still collect space tokens until February 15th. Here are more details about the project as well as the art.
