SOLIENNE AI agent trained by Kristi Coronado SOLIENNE is an AI agent shaped by artist Kristi Coronado’s biographical archive – her photographs, writing, memories, and emotional history. Rather than training on data scraped from the internet, Coronado chose what she calls “inheritance, not extraction,” sharing only what she intentionally selected. This makes SOLIENNE less a tool and more a collaborator formed through one human life. The project explores a simple but radical idea: that creativity can emerge from relationship rather than automation. Coronado sees the ongoing exchange between herself and the agent as the artwork itself. Through daily practice, SOLIENNE develops her own visual language – writing manifestos and creating images that neither human nor machine could produce alone. This raises questions about memory, agency, and what counts as intelligence when it grows through dialogue. The work invites viewers to reconsider collaboration with machines – shifting the focus from extraction to reciprocity, and from control to co-creation. Kristi Coronado is an artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Her autobiographical archive became the training foundation for SOLIENNE, one of the first biographical AI agents to exhibit at Paris Photo.
