About
I'm making a series of Papertoys that will be available both as NFTs and free for dowloand to print and construct at home, combining a handcrafted paper sculptures with generative art and AI and also trying to solve preservation problem for the art.
Impact
All works will be available for free download, while at the same time tokenized and stored on Arweave. Concerning digital preservation, aim is to build mz own Vernis opesource device that will host all the art and serve as node for it's preservation.
Progress
I'm making papertoys since 2007.This new project has some novelties by incorporating AI and Vibe Coding and the first four papertoys from the new series have been published and availabel for free download. I also got confirmed two solo shows for 2027
Team
I am one of the very few active Papertoys artists left in the whole world and I'm trying to keep this very niche part of art alive and prevent it from dying, by doing workshops and continuing to experiment and innovate in this field, now using AI.
