Identity manifest
Artwork, authority, lifecycle and versioned resources.
An open prototype framework
Intelligent Living Art
Artworks with a continuing digital identity: able to converse, remember with consent, hold assets and remain intelligible as technology and ownership change.
Working definition
The artwork remains primary
An intelligent living artwork is a physical or digital artwork whose creator-authorised identity can support AI interaction, governed memory and continuing ownership without being reduced to one website, one model or one storage provider.
AI supplies conversation and perception. Blockchain can supply identity, provenance and ownership continuity. Neither replaces the artwork or the artist's authority.
