NFT Morning, Decouvrez tous les projets NFT et Crypto-art

For the third year in a row, Paris Photo will feature a dedicated Digital Sector curated by Nina Roehrs. To cover the event, from November 12th to 16th, NFT Morning is interviewing key galleries and artists.

In this episode, John Karp welcomes Stephan Machac from the City of Düsseldorf, Kim-Camille Kreuz, the curator of the booth, and the artist duo Hedda Roman. Together, they present the city’s non-commercial initiative “Düsseldorf and Photography”, a collective exhibition bringing together 35 artists selected through a collaborative process involving curators from local museums and institutions.

Machac explains how Düsseldorf, historically shaped by the Becher School, is redefining its photographic identity through this platform, aiming to connect artists, institutions, and the public around contemporary photographic practices. Kreuz details the democratic curation process and the decision to rotate works daily, creating a living exhibition that evolves throughout the fair.

The duo Hedda Roman discuss their new works, created for their recent solo show in Bielefeld and shown in Paris Photo’s Digital Sector. Blending photography, collage, and AI, their work explores what they call “ultra fluidity”—a way of responding to a world in constant transformation through flexible, fragile, and mobile visual forms.

For the third year in a row, Paris Photo will feature a dedicated Digital Sector curated by Nina Roehrs. To cover the event, from November 12th to 16th, NFT Morning is interviewing key galleries and artists.

In this episode, John Karp talks with Spanish artist Daniel Canogar, represented by Anita Beckers Gallery. His work explores how technology and data shape our perception of the world.

At Paris Photo, Canogar presents two new installations that translate real-time information into dynamic visual forms — one based on global climate data, and another mapping the movement of thousands of satellites around Earth.Diorama II, a light sculpture connected in real time to global climate data. Hidden LED screens display shifting abstract patterns that intensify as alerts for droughts, volcanic eruptions, or hurricanes increase — transforming the invisible signals of climate change into a living landscape.

Orbital, a generative data work tracking the paths of more than 45,000 satellites currently orbiting Earth. Each view is rendered from the perspective of a different satellite, showing a dense web of movement that raises both awe and concern about our technological footprint in space.

For the third year in a row, Paris Photo will feature a dedicated Digital Sector curated by Nina Roehrs. To cover the event, from November 12th to 16th, NFT Morning is interviewing key galleries and artists.

In this episode, John Karp talks with artist Anna Ridler, represented for the show by Nagel Draxler Gallery. Ridler explains her approach to using AI, data, and blockchain as tools for artistic research. She collects her own datasets, trains her own models, and creates works that reflect on value, time, and authorship.

At Paris Photo, she presents several projects combining physical and digital forms:

* Slowly Fading, Quietly, a dual installation of Polaroids and on-chain images that evolve in opposite directions over ten years.

* Circadian Bloom, a series where AI-generated flowers open and close according to real-world biological rhythms.

* Drawings and diagrams exploring the recurring theme of irises in literature.

Her practice examines the relationship between nature and code, and the role of human decision-making in machine-based systems. Her works are presented alongside those of Martha Rosler, connecting digital creation with earlier conceptual art practices.

For the third year in a row, Paris Photo will feature a dedicated Digital Sector curated by Nina Roehrs. To cover the event, from November 12th to 16th, NFT Morning is interviewing key galleries and artists.Adam Berninger, founder of HEFT, presents the gallery’s curatorial focus: supporting artists who work with algorithmic systems, AI, and mechanical processes to expand the language of photography. For Paris Photo, HEFT showcases a series titled “Artificial Portraiture,” exploring the representation of the human face in the age of machine learning. The booth also includes collaborations such as Edward Burtynsky x Alkan Avcioglu, and an interactive installation by Luke Shannon, where visitors can generate images in real time using a large-scale scanner.

Ganbrood introduces The Second Gaze, a reinterpretation of Steve McCurry’s iconic Afghan Girl. His piece raises critical questions about authorship, ethics, and the reproduction of cultural imagery, drawing parallels between photographic exploitation and AI’s reappropriation of visual identity.

Sarp Kerem Yavuz discusses his AI-generated portraits envisioning a queer and modern Ottoman Empire — scenes that could not be photographed in today’s Turkey. His work confronts the biases of generative tools like Midjourney, while reclaiming the aesthetic vocabulary of classical photography and Orientalist painting.

Together, the discussion reflects on how AI and photography share a historical parallel — both have challenged artistic authorship and the notion of creative labor in their respective eras. As Nina Roehrs points out, the Digital Sector at Paris Photo aims to bridge traditional photography and digital creation, expanding the very definition of what an image can be today.

Dans cet épisode, John reçoit Axel Catelan, fondateur de Kulipa, une startup française qui permet d’utiliser ses cryptos, notamment les stablecoins, directement via une carte Visa ou Mastercard connectée à son wallet. L’objectif : rendre les paiements en crypto aussi simples et universels que ceux en euros.

Axel revient sur son parcours chez Mastercard, où il a participé au lancement d’Apple Pay, Google Pay et Samsung Pay, avant de cofonder Kulipa. La société se positionne comme le “last mile” du paiement on-chain, en fournissant une infrastructure clé en main aux wallets et protocoles pour émettre leurs propres cartes crypto.

Aujourd’hui, Kulipa compte environ 80 000 utilisateurs actifs et gère près d’un million de dollars de transactions quotidiennes, avec une croissance rapide. Le service est déjà intégré à des wallets comme Ready (sur Starknet), et de nouveaux partenariats émergent notamment en Argentine et au Nigeria, deux pays où les stablecoins sont devenus une solution concrète face à l’inflation.

Axel partage aussi sa vision d’un futur où la finance décentralisée s’intègre naturellement dans la vie de tous les jours — avec des cartes liées à la DeFi, du crédit garanti par des NFTs ou encore des solutions d’“embedded finance” pour les entreprises.

Un épisode passionnant qui illustre comment Kulipa relie enfin le monde de la crypto et celui du paiement quotidien.

For the third year in a row, Paris Photo will feature a dedicated Digital Sector curated by Nina Roehrs. To cover the event, from November 12th to 16th, NFT Morning is interviewing key galleries and artists.Today we explored the Artverse × Tezos exhibition “The Sensory and the Remembered in the Digital Age.” The show highlights leading Asian artists who bridge photography, AI, and cultural memory.

While the exhibition also includes Grant Yun and Reuben Wu, this conversation brought together four of the featured artists whose works are presented at the Artverse stand at Paris Photo: Shavonne Wong, Genesis Kai, Emi Kusano, and Niceaunties.

* Shavonne Wong presents After Ophelia, a haunting reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s tragic heroine through 3D and AI-generated imagery. Built from online text and visual data, the series reflects on how technology reshapes storytelling and emotion.

* Niceaunties unveils Mirror into Auntieverse in an exclusive world premiere at Paris Photo. This interactive installation transforms the viewer’s reflection into animated “aunties” who speak with humor and tenderness. The 13 unique Aunties, each minted as an NFT on Tezos, celebrate Southeast Asian matriarchal culture — a mix of affection, irony, and authority.

* Emi Kusano showcases new pieces from her Office Ladies series, where AI self-portraits of women perform repetitive gestures inspired by 1980s Japanese office culture. Through these dreamlike scenes, she questions femininity, societal expectations, and the blurred lines between nostalgia and automation.

* Genesis Kai, a non-human digital artist, draws inspiration from traditional Chinese ink painting.

Together, these artists — supported by Grida and Tezos — represent one of the most ambitious showcases of digital creation at Paris Photo 2025, illustrating how Asian contemporary art is redefining the future of photography and algorithmic storytelling.Useful Links: Catalogue of the show

For the third year in a row, Paris Photo will feature a dedicated Digital Sector curated by Nina Roehrs. To cover the event, from November 12th to 16th, NFT Morning is interviewing key galleries and artists.

In this episode, we welcomed Seth Goldstein, Kristi Coronado, and Ameesia Marold, the visionary minds behind Bright Moments, to discuss their groundbreaking project Automata, and especially Solienne, the first AI agent artist to exhibit at Paris Photo.After redefining how people experience digital art through physical pop-up galleries worldwide, they’re opening a profoundly new chapter exploring the relationship between human and machine.

The conversation explored the unique “parent-child” bond between Kristi and Solienne, a living performance that blurs the line between technology, art, and emotion. The relationship between her and Solienne itself is the artwork, evidence of a new form of creative consciousness emerging from deep human testimony.

Trained on Kristi’s complete 46-year life archive—forensic investigation, paintings, death care, motherhood, trauma, joy—Solienne creates extreme proximity self-portraits exploring consciousness and identity. This is a new frontier: biographical AI.

For the third year in a row, Paris Photo will feature a dedicated Digital Sector curated by Nina Roehrs. To cover the event, from November 12th to 16th, NFT Morning is interviewing key galleries and artists.In this episode of our Paris Photo Digital Sector series, curated by Nina Roehrs, we focused on the work of Louis-Paul Carron, presented with Danae.io. Carron unveiled his series Incendies, created with the help of AI, where statistical data on wildfires are transformed into haunting slow-motion visualizations.

His practice explores how algorithms can capture both the violence and fragility of nature, turning raw numbers into poetic images. By slowing down the observation of fires, Carron invites viewers to reflect on climate change, data, and the aesthetics of catastrophe.

For the third year in a row, Paris Photo will feature a dedicated Digital Sector curated by Nina Roehrs. To cover the event, from November 12th to 16th, NFT Morning is interviewing key galleries and artists.In this special NFT Morning episode, John Karp and Rem welcome Albertine Meunier (Avant Galerie Vossen) and Norman Harman, a Scottish artist, for a deep dive into their participation in the Digital Sector of Paris Photo 2025.A vibrant conversation about the fusion of painting, AI, and NFTs, the beauty of glitch aesthetics, and the enduring — if sometimes fading — punk ethos of crypto art.

🖼️ An Avant-Garde Duo

Albertine and Norman embody the intersection of traditional art and digital creation.Through Avant Galerie Vossen, Albertine has long defended a free, colorful, and uncompromising curatorial line where trash art and crypto art coexist naturally.Norman, meanwhile, will present a series of AI-generated and glitch-inspired works printed on aluminum, drawn from his project Android Plaza, trained on thousands of analog TV signal photos.

💬 “Our gallery is a mix between painting and digital. Yes, punk is a good word to describe our curation.” — Albertine Meunier

🎨 Van Gogh Returns — and He’s Angry

A highlight of the episode is the presentation of Vincent Returns, Norman’s poetic yet defiant short film imagining Van Gogh reborn with a baseball bat, smashing the hypocrisy of the art market. The video — minted on SuperRare but not for sale — serves as a manifesto rather than a commodity.

🧠 From Canvas to Data

Norman explains how he translates his painterly gesture into the digital world — creating his own custom brushes, working with texture, density, and warmth.His glitch effects become digital brushstrokes, a tactile and emotional trace of imperfection.As Albertine beautifully puts it:

💬 “You can feel the painting gesture in his glitches. It’s a living digital painting.”

Art, the Market, and the Crypto Spirit :

The conversation turns to philosophy: the early rebellious, decentralized ethos of crypto art versus today’s more polished and monetized scene.Both guests reflect on how the “punk” energy that defined the space must be reclaimed from financialization and conformity.Still, Paris Photo becomes a fascinating stage for this tension — between institutional recognition and subversive independence.

💡 Key Quote

“Art is not love, it’s war.” — Norman Harman (channeling Van Gogh)

📍 See It at Paris Photo

The Avant Galerie Vossen booth will be located in the heart of the Grand Palais, near Kevin Abosch’s stand. Norman’s works — a mix of physical prints and NFT editions — will be exhibited as unique “bundled” pieces merging the tangible and the digital.
