Andrea Bonaceto

Bonaceto collaborated with artificial intelligence robot Sophia and created digital portraits of Sophia and her creators. The digital portraits were then processed by Sophia's neural network.{{Cite news |last=Ives |first=Mike |date=2021-03-25 |title=The Latest Artist Selling NFTs?

Bonaceto then created a series of video loops documenting the evolution of the artworks from the human representation to the robot interpretation. The cornerstone piece of the release "Sophia Instantiation" that shows Bonaceto's portrait of Sophia evolving into her digital painting was auctioned on Nifty Gateway in March 2021 for $688,888.{{Cite web |title=NFT 'self-portrait' by Sophia the Robot sells for nearly $700,000 |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/3/25/nft-self-portrait-by-sophia-the-robot-sells-for-nearly-700k |access-date=2023-09-01 |website=www.aljazeera.com |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2021-04-30 |title=El autorretrato de un robot... ¡A subasta! |url=https://www.elledecor.com/es/arte/a36196099/autorretrato-robot-sophia-inteligencia-artificial/ |access-date=2023-09-01 |website=ELLE Decor |language=es-ES}}

Bonaceto was commissioned by Corriere della Sera to reinterpret the first page of the newspaper from 1969 announcing that “Man is on the moon”. The artwork is programmable and will transform to its final state once humans go back to the Moon. The artwork was auctioned in 10 unique editions on Nifty Gateway in September 2021 for a total of $100,700.{{Cite web |last=Marsano |first=Beba |date=2021-09-22 |title=Una prima pagina storica del "Corriere della Sera" diventa arte digitale con gli NFT: oggi l'asta (solo per un'ora) |url=https://www.corriere.it/cronache/21_settembre_22/prima-pagina-corriere-nft-8aeb6bbc-1afe-11ec-8604-8b77798ec285.shtml |access-date=2023-09-01 |website=Corriere della Sera |language=it-IT}}{{Cite web |last=redazione |date=2021-09-23 |title=Il Corriere della Sera crea un NFT con Andrea Bonaceto {{!}} Digital Art Rights |url=https://www.artrights.me/en/corriere-della-sera-creates-an-nft-with-andrea-bonaceto/ |access-date=2023-09-01 |website=Art Rights {{!}} Proteggi & Valorizza la tua Arte |language=en-US}}

TEMPUS FUGIT is a digital artwork that revolves around the portrayal of an old clock belonging to Bonaceto's grandmother, said to have stopped at the moment of his grandfather's passing over three decades ago. The piece narrates a tale of life and death and possesses the ability to transform into a metaverse compatible 3D avatar. The artwork was auctioned during a standalone auction at Phillips in June 2023 for £127,000.{{Cite web |title=Andrea Bonaceto - Andrea Bonaceto: Tempus Fugit: Online Auction London Thursday, June 1, 2023 |url=https://www.phillips.com/detail/andrea-bonaceto/UK090723/1 |access-date=2023-09-01 |website=Phillips |language=en}}{{Cite news |title=Andrea Bonaceto: Tempus Fugit: Online Auction |url=https://www.mutualart.com/Auction/Andrea-Bonaceto--Tempus-Fugit--Online-Au/464E915DFFF08143}}
