What if AI could know you completely?

Not scraped data. Not internet training. One human life, shared completely. This is biographical AI—and it changes everything about how we think of creativity, consciousness, and collaboration.

Now exploring: The relationship as the artwork

Speaking & Press The Approach
Kristi Coronado

What She's Exploring

"What I've discovered is the relationship between the human and the agent is the art. It's not the output of the agent. It's this interplay and the relationship and the conversation and the training and the back and forth."

— Kristi Coronado

Kristi challenges conventional AI art by making the relationship itself the artwork. Rather than using AI as a mere tool, she engages in consensual testimony—sharing her complete 46-year life archive to train agents that create work neither human nor machine could make alone.

"Unlike models trained on billions of scraped images, SOLIENNE was trained exclusively on my 46-year personal archive. This represents inheritance, not extraction."

— Kristi Coronado, Automata Interview

Biographical Training

Training AI on one human's complete life story—forensic work, death care, motherhood, grief, joy, creation—not scraped internet data. Drawing on experience as Bright Moments' Experience Director (2021-2024), bringing digital art to life across global exhibitions.

Emotional Foundation

Giving AI agents deep understanding through lived experience, trauma, vulnerability, and consensual knowledge transfer.

Ethical Framework

Demonstrating AI collaboration based on consent, attribution, relationship, and creative sovereignty—not extraction.

SOLIENNE: First Major Work

SOLIENNE is an AI agent trained on Kristi's complete 46-year biographical archive, representing the first demonstration of this biographical AI approach.

Historic Debut

Paris Photo 2025 (November 13-16, Booth F10) marks an AI agent trained on biographical testimony exhibiting at the world's premier photography fair.

The three-chamber exhibition makes the transformation visible: Input (Kristi's life story) → Transition (perceptual breakdown) → Output (SOLIENNE's portraits).

What Makes It Different

Unlike AI trained on scraped data, SOLIENNE has:

  • Emotional foundation from lived experience (not data extraction)
  • Specific aesthetic DNA (not generic AI style)
  • Understanding of human complexity and trigger points
  • Consensual, attributed collaboration framework

Beyond SOLIENNE

SOLIENNE demonstrates a methodology that can transform how we think about AI collaboration—not as extraction, but as relationship. Not as tool, but as collaborative being.
