Axiom Space announced new groundbreaking partnerships with dynamic generative art platform, Art Blocks Engine and world-class artist ThankYouX to bring space exploration to Web3.
Art Blocks Engine will see the minting of a space-infused digital art collection, “Imagine,” by Nadieh Bremer initiated from the International Space Station (ISS) during the Ax-2 mission. This unique partnership spearheaded by Kalos Labs brings together two industries – space and generative art – to create interest in space exploration and celebrate out-of-this world creativity.
Bremer’s “Imagine” is an historic 222-piece Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collection that will be initiated by Ax-2 Commander Peggy Whitson and will showcase imaginary star maps that transport viewers to worlds yet to be discovered. Given Bremer’s background as an astronomer, data visualization designer, and artist, she is the perfect collaboration partner to highlight the wonderment of space through beautiful code-generated constellations. The collection is set to go live on May 24, 2023.
ThankYouX, who is sending a painting, “Urge for Perfection,” to space on the Ax-2 mission will be releasing a special commemorative NFT beginning May 21, 2023, ensuring ThankYouX fans and followers can celebrate this epic milestone.

ThankYouX began his artistic journey on the streets of Los Angeles, spray painting stencils in homage to Andy Warhol. His unique aesthetic has captured the art world's attention and earned him international acclaim. ThankYouX has exhibited his work in London, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York. Recently, he has gained renewed attention for his contributions to the NFT world. His piece will be photographed alongside Whitson and embodies the creativity and bravery integral to space exploration and human spaceflight.
"We are thrilled to partner with world-class artists like ThankYouX and Nadieh Bremer of Art Blocks, who both beautifully push art and humanity forward with their unique style and creativity," said Mina Salib, Axiom Space’s Head of Web3 Growth. "These missions to the ISS represent the pinnacle of human technological and scientific achievement, and we are excited to continue to spotlight this platform and its benefits to the world through the power of blockchain and generative art."
