Sasha Stiles is a first-generation Kalmyk-American poet, artist and AI researcher widely recognized as a pioneer of generative literature and language art. Her award-winning work fuses text and technology to probe what it means to be human in an increasingly posthuman er. Stiles is author of the “instant techno classic” poetry collection, Technelegy (Black Spring Press Group, 2021), and has been named “perhaps the leading blockchain poet” by Right Click Save, as well as one of the top 10 NFT artists to watch in 2023, ushering in poetry at such global platforms as Art Blocks, PROOF, fxhash, Quantum, SuperRare, Makers Place, Objkt, Foundation, Nifty Gateway and Infinite Objects. In 2022, she became the first writer to publish AI-powered literature via a major auction house when her poem, “COMPLETION: When it’s just you,” sold at Christie’s. Other honors include a Future Art Award, the Optimism AI Award, the Lumen Prize shortlist, nominations for the Forward Prize, Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net, and finalist status for the Christopher Smart Book Prize and Palette Emerging Poet Prize.
