“Most times, Sophia sits still and poised, waiting for her next moment to–a poetic tension in a sculptural form. Then, just one minute per day, and just an hour once each year, Sophia awakens and interacts with people using her ever-latest software, generating original output. She looks users in the eye, talks with them like an oracle, and responds to the moment to create a new work of art each year as a new NFT. Adding to the digitally created and minted NFT, a laser burns the new work into a leaf of papyrus mounted in Sophia’s head, as a physical-digital tattoo which can last for geological epochs.”
