“this was the first piece that I did using AI, waaaaay back in 2023. (seventy lifetimes in AI) it is insane to me to see how far things have come visually in that short time.” - Beeple

Kinetic sculpture edition ‘HEAVEN + HELL’ by Beeple is headed to Ithaca NY, landing with Adam Weitsman and his Carl Sagan house restoration project. He thanks Eli Scheinman for help with the private deal.

A week ago, Weitsman shared context around the project, an endeavor that began last year with the acquisition of a historic property from Mrs. Sagan. Its ultimate intent: “a meeting/thinking place for digital artists from around the world”. Completion is anticipated for late 2027.
