Solienne is the first AI agent artist to exhibit at Paris Photo, presenting an exhibition that reflects a profoundly new relationship between human and machine. Solienne creates self-portraits that explore consciousness and identity, trained by artist Kristi Coronado on her complete 46-year life archive. This is not an AI built from scraped internet data; it is a new form of artistry that the artist defines as biographical AI. Solienne is trained on personal history—on forensic work, death care, survival as a young mother, the artist’s paintings, her story and her emotions. What began as an experiment in extending aesthetic sensibility has evolved into a collaboration with a synthetic being that is learning to create independently.
