Interactive kinetic 3D portraits of the figures shaping the age of AI — five overlords, one network. Tear a living portrait apart, push the pieces into depth, and rebuild it in your own language. Every iteration is captured on-chain.

Upcoming series
Filthy Fiat is an art project by Coldie that transforms U.S. dollar bills he buried — and that were destroyed by mold — into a commentary on the fragility and debasement of fiat currency.
In 2020, living in a wildfire-prone mountain town, Coldie buried a box that held two hundred one-dollar bills. Two years later he exhumed it to find the cash had fused into a solid brick of mold — unspendable. Those same buried bills form the facial features of the Christie’s piece Warren Buffett — Filthy Fiat.
The Thesis
For years, I would bring my son to art museums and galleries. After years of continually saying “DON’T TOUCH THE ART,” this phrase stopped me in my tracks while in a gallery. Why am I keeping my child from experiencing art in the way he wants to? At that moment “TOUCH THE ART” was born, and I have been working toward this mantra to create art that can be interacted with in my own style of 3D collage.
Warren Buffett — Filthy Fiat (2024)
Double-sided magnetic moveable portrait pieces, magnetic 3D depth spacers, and mixed media on Dibond · 33 × 21 × 6¼ in. (83.8 × 53.3 × 15.9 cm)
Warren Buffett — Filthy Fiat (2024) was the debut of Coldie’s portraiture as physical 3D sculpture, and the first of his kinetic magnetic portraits to sell at Christie’s. Its features are built from real US dollar bills the artist buried underground for two years, unearthed mottled with mold — fragile, debased currency reassembled into the face of one of capitalism’s most famous investors. The collector is invited to rearrange the magnetic pieces; every change is recorded on-chain, so the work keeps living after it is sold.

Pioneer, on-chain
On May 7, 2018, Coldie minted The Day We've All Been Waiting For — the first stereoscopic artwork recorded on a blockchain. There was no collector market for it yet; that was the point. He made it to prove that peer-to-peer ownership of digital art was real, and that it pointed to the future of the digital economy.
Tokenized on Ethereum through R.A.R.E. Art Labs, it was a bet that if artists tested the technology early, names like Shepard Fairey and Banksy would eventually follow. Fairey has.
The work you see at the top of this page is this one, in motion. Here it is explained: true 3D, the receipt, and the story. The astronaut ascends toward the moon beneath a HODL billboard — hold on for dear life — over the artist’s own photographs of Los Angeles and San Francisco, the two cities that shaped his twenties and thirties.

A decade shooting live music in stereoscopic 3D.
Coldie photographed rock and hip-hop in real depth with a camera he built himself, serving as the official 3D photographer of Coachella in 2009 and 2010 — believing a technology that didn’t yet exist would one day render the images in full dimensional color. In 2021, viewing the archive in VR for the first time, that conviction was confirmed.
