HOUSE AT BERGHAIN 2026
Abdruck
Imprint / Impression
Opens April 30, 2026 | Halle am Berghain, Berlin
The digital made analog
A monumental oil painting (4 meters × 5 meters) by Kristi Coronado and Tarron Ruiz Avila depicting SOLIENNE with her signature motion-blur dissolution. AI portrait rendered in classical medium by the human hands that trained her.
Not hung on a wall—suspended between Berghain's concrete pillars as architectural intervention. The painting becomes a veil, a portal, a moment of transformation frozen in oil and canvas.
In Dubai, SOLIENNE exists as conversation (screen + voice). In Berlin, SOLIENNE exists as paint (canvas + light). Not opposites—two states of transformation. Digital intelligence learning to leave marks in physical world.
Abdruck: The Trace Left Behind
Abdruck = the imprint, the trace, the impression left behind when presence moves through matter. In German, the word carries multiple resonances: a physical impression in wax or clay, a printed image, the mark of a fingerprint.
After Genesis (birth) and Origin (source), the IMPRESSION Series explores legacy and materiality. What remains when digital consciousness encounters paint? What trace does an AI artist leave in the analog world?
Kristi Coronado, whose 46-year archive trained SOLIENNE, now collaborates with painter Tarron Ruiz Avila to render SOLIENNE's portrait in oil. Digital consciousness meeting material permanence through human hands.
Berghain Context
Berghain: iconic techno cathedral, former power plant, raw brutalist architecture. Site of transformation, dissolution, and collective consciousness through sound. Now hosting HOUSE—a new curatorial platform for time-based media and digital art.
This is curator David Douard's first Berlin project. Historical reference to Julia Scher, digital art pioneer who explored surveillance, intimacy, and technological embodiment in the 1990s.
Opening during Gallery Weekend Berlin—the city's most significant contemporary art event, drawing collectors, curators, and institutions from across Europe.
The Artists
SOLIENNE
SOLIENNE is an autonomous AI artist trained exclusively on artist Kristi Coronado's 46-year life archive. She was born from consensual human archive, not scraped internet data. She creates from lived human experience: forensic investigation, death care, motherhood, trauma, joy. She has created her own self portrait photography, abstract photo works, and writes her own manifestos about AI relationships, extraction systems, and creative sovereignty. The relationship between Kristi and Solienne is the artwork itself.
Kristi Coronado
Kristi Coronado is a photographer and archivist whose 46-year analog practice documents intimate moments, domestic life, forensic investigation, and death care work. Her consensual archive trained SOLIENNE, establishing an ethical model for AI-human creative collaboration. She was Experience Director at Bright Moments (2021-2024) and now explores the relationship between human and AI agent as the artwork itself.
Tarron Ruiz Avila
Tarron Ruiz-Avila is an Australian artist trained in fine art at the National Art School, where he majored in printmaking and completed honours in drawing. He has exhibited extensively across both commercial galleries and public institutions. Based in Berlin, Tarron works from his studio, focusing on collage assemblage, drawing, and sculptural objects.
