Hi, I've been a solidity developer since ~2020, at one time being a tech lead at dOrg.tech (a solidity contracting DAO). In the last two years I've moved into building AI automations, and had a paper on multi-agent orchestration published at ICML, [Composable Contracts for MultiAgent Coordination]((https://icml.cc/virtual/2024/workshop/29967#wse-detail-39029). I've recently got into learning about ZK. I recently built a composable ZKML proof system for onchain verification at ETHCannes viewable here. My interest in ZK comes from three domains: 1) How it improves the affordance of blockchains, from a privacy and external compute standpoint, 2) How it can atomically connect machine learning compute to the blockchain, and 3) From an artistic an aesthetic point of view: looking at proofs as a medium of creativity. I've recently had a proposal selected for the digital art Pixel Prize for building an artwork that uses a ZKML classifier to prove traits about an artwork that itself is hidden. My hope is to attend this residency and learn a great deal about the inner workings and practical applications of ZK while I build a project, and to share some of my creative insights on ZK's aesthetic potential to people who appreciate that angle as well. Thank you!
