The latest drop from Kaikhan Salakhov, an Azerbaijani American artist, is part of TAEX’s ongoing series exploring the potential of crypto-architecture and space within digital art. The drop features an architectural studio where the android T.A.H.I.R.A - 108 creates models of spaceships in a deconstructivist style. Unlike other digital artists, Salakhov's approach involves using game interfaces to explore the relationship between human creativity and the artistic capabilities of artificial intelligence. Salakhov's work depicts artificial intelligence as someone close to us, rather than the Other. Salakhov's visual language pays homage to the sci-fi genre, with nods to Isaac Asimov and the Strugatskys. The android T.A.H.I.R.A, the creator of the spaceships, is named after Salakhov's grandfather, Tahir Salakhov, a renowned Soviet artist, and her creations are reminiscent of Zaha Hadid, who has been Salakhov's lifelong inspiration.

Explanation of the Key Terms

NFTs

NFT, short for non-fungible token, is a unique digital asset that is verified using blockchain technology, making it one-of-a-kind and irreplaceable. Unlike fungible tokens like cryptocurrencies, NFTs are not interchangeable and represent something unique, such as a piece of art, a collectible, or a tweet. The ownership of an NFT is also recorded on the blockchain, which ensures its authenticity and makes it easy to transfer ownership. NFTs have become increasingly popular in recent years, as they offer a new way for artists, creators, and collectors to monetize and showcase their work in the digital world.

Crypto

Ethereum Blockchain is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy decentralized applications. One of the unique features of Ethereum is its ability to support smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into lines of code. These smart contracts enable developers to create decentralized applications that can automate complex processes, such as financial transactions, voting systems, and supply chain management. Ethereum also has its own cryptocurrency called Ether, which is used to pay for transaction fees and to incentivize miners to validate transactions on the network.
