corpo | real by Claire Silver — 500 AI artworks

corpo | realBy Claire Silver · 500 works · released 2024-01-31corpo | real was Claire Silver's first digital-fashion project: 500 AI-collaborative images of stylized, photorealistic women in futuristic, fantastical dresses. Its title plays on the double meanings of both words (corpo as body, structure, and corpse; real as actual and inimitable) to ask what it means to have a physical form in an age of AI. Silver frames fashion as both a mirror of its era and a means of self-expression, and the collection uses it to consider how bodily existence and identity are being reshaped by technology. Priced at 1 ETH, ten times the usual BrainDrops mint, the edition sold out on January 31, 2024, raising about 500 ETH, with Silver directing proceeds to a then-confidential project aimed at shifting mainstream perceptions of AI, NFTs, and digital ownership.
