Created as a digital painting, I then animated and added textural sound. This a glitch portrait of a woman that never was, looking from what might be another dimension. I love bringing a hint of movement to my pop surrealist works, which comes from the days long ago when I studied traditional animation. 

This is my first video/sound NFT art piece.

Peering from the Crush

Joseph Munisteri, aka Butterflies in Space Joe, is an artist, writer, and technologist based in New York. Each piece in Munisteri’s latest collection “Butterfly Space Opera” was created using various forms of Artificial Intelligence, inspired by classical modern artists and nature. 


The project originally began as writing prompts for Munisteri’s poetry and after months of trial and error, blossomed into a collection of works that juxtapose organic figures and shapes with the artificial hand of the AI generator. Each piece can be viewed as a scene from his own opera, filled with drama, tragedy, and spirit. 


With this collection, Munisteri invites the viewer to experience AI artworks as a collaboration between man and the machine and challenges the traditional dogma of what is art.
