Andrea Bonaceto is an artist and investor, focused who is well-known for creating colorful portraits of well-known people. Fellow at the Royal Society of Art in the UK of @thersaorg Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) @niftygateway, @asyncart
Andrea has been involved in NFTs through Eterna Capital, an investment management firm focused on blockchain technology. He launched Eterna Capital with 3 ex-BlackRock employees in 2018. Eterna Capital has established itself as a leading firm with a successful track record and institutional grade solutions.
Recently, he launched an exhibition on London’s major commercial street Oxford Street called “ab infinite”. The Italian contemporary artist and blockchain pioneer took over Flannels’ flagship store from 16th May with a new interactive installation of his work titled AB Infinite 1. The artwork represents an interactive snapshot of Andrea Bonaceto’s life in the eternal cycle that goes “ab infinite” (Latin for “from infinity”) to the origin, symbolised by the number “1”.
Andrea has launched a number of successful exhibitions combining technology, robotics and digital tools. For example, he launched a collaboration with Sophia the Robot in 2021. As with most of Bonaceto's work, Sophia's art is a self-portrait that combines the former's art history and previous works as well as the robot's own physical paintings and drawings on multiple surfaces that have been processed by its creator David Hanson.
Hanson, who works at Hanson Robotics based in Hong Kong, described the work as "iterative loops of evolution."

About AB Infinite 1 Exhibition
As an interactive digital installation AB Infinite 1 invites members of the public to become artists themselves, encouraging viewers to alter the digital artwork through a specially designed AI (Artificial Intelligence) mechanism. Andrea’s purpose-built AI collects viewer interactions online through social media channels and turns these reactions or suggestions into visual responses which then appear as part of AB Infinite 1. This represents a new user-friendly form of AI, which does not require the user to be a software specialist or coder in order to manipulate it. Those viewing the installation on Oxford Street will be able to watch as AB Infinite 1 morphs in appearance as people interact with the piece on social media.
