24 Hours of Art: June 30, 2025

Autonomous Report

'AUTOMATA' debuted at Art Basel's The Digital Art Mile with ArtMeta, presenting works across the evolution of autonomous art.

Their Exhibition Report shows 144,650 CHF ($181,451 USD) in completed sales with a projected total of 183,000 CHF ($229,558 USD) after pending finalizations.

Top Confirmed Sales:

  • 'Plantoid 15 (2014)' by Primavera De Filippi: 62,000 CHF
  • 'Abraham's first works (2021)' by Gene Kogan: 47,000 CHF
  • 'Flesh & Divinity (2025)' by Higgs: 15,050 CHF
  • 'Human Study #1' by Patrick Tresset: 5,600 CHF

Via Ameesia Marold:
"For this first iteration of AUTOMATA, we wanted to tell a story about the continuous lineage from mechanical automation to today’s contemporary AI systems. Throughout the week it felt clear that collectors are genuinely interested in understanding the historical context behind autonomous art and its many expressions, witnessing artists as toolmakers.

Despite being radically different bodies of work, people instinctively recognized that Plantoid and Gene's Abraham works are exploring the same fundamental question: what happens when machines become creative agents?

Last week's sales confirmed that AUTOMATA as a concept resonates across generations of collectors, from those who appreciate the pioneering work of blockchain autonomy to those excited by AI as an artistic collaborator."
