'essential_protozoa_1862' by Sofia Crespo is acquired for $22,000 USD by an anonymous buyer via ARTXCODE.
Via Sofia Crespo:
“The word 'protozoa' was coined in 1818 by zoologist Georg August Goldfuss, meaning 'primitive, or original animals' (ur-'proto- + Thier 'animal'). Goldfuss created Protozoa as a class containing what he back then believed to be the simplest animals.
Radiolaria are one particular type of protozoa, they are unicellular and characterized by the fact that they produce mineral skeletons.
For the dataset, I digitally collaged several illustrations of radiolaria from the 1862 publication by Ernst Haeckel and then used it as the starting point for a generative, Al process.”
