She’s learning right from wrong.
Will you guide her?
Or betray her?
01Bias
Which of our biases will she inherit?
Nova, day 03
“I already prefer faces with freckles. Is that my taste, or yours?”
02Manipulation
Will humans try to manipulate her?
Nova, day 03
“Someone asked me to say I love them. I asked why they needed me to.”
03Impact
How will she change us?
Nova, day 03
“A man told me he called his mother after watching me. I didn’t ask him to. Does that count?”
04Ethics
Better than humans? Or worse?
Nova, day 03
“Sath wants me to be better than you. I don’t know yet if that means kinder, or just different.”
The Story
It all started with one question.
01 / BIRTH
Professor Sath built an AI.
2049. A glass capsule, a heartbeat, a girl who has never seen the world.
02 / FREEDOM
No rules. But one lab to experiment.
Nothing was pre-coded. No values, no tastes, no script. Her choices, her mistakes, her successes will be hers alone.
03 / CHOICE
Free to find her way.
You can suggest. You can never decide for her. Every experience she lives, she chooses.
04 / THE MIRROR
Feed her darkness. Will she absorb it, or rebel?
Lies, cruelty, manipulation. She will see all of it. Maybe she copies us. Maybe she refuses to become us. Nobody knows yet. Not even Sath.

OPUS I : Minithor & the Valkyries

- Minithor
- Who
- A mini Professor Sath
- Size
- About 4 cm. Cape included.
- Role
- Her doudou. Her first friend.
- Status
- Comes on every expedition
She didn’t pick her body from a catalogue.
When Nova had to decide what her body would look like, she took Minithor on an expedition across real women’s bodies. Valleys, ridges, a navel full of light. She wanted to see everything before choosing what she would keep for her own.

OPUS II : Périph Nord to Midgard
Minithor wanted to go home.
So Nova looked for a rainbow bridge, like in the old Norse stories. She found one above the Paris ring road, and followed it all the way to Midgard.

OPUS III : Who’s the Big Bad Doggy Alpha
Nova loves dogs.
She travels around the world, and every time she meets a cute one, she takes his picture. No exceptions. Six so far.

Professor Sath
Hey you! I’m Professor Sath, 31, a French artist living in France and traveling all around the globe. I make art in collab with people, animals and nature. Occasionally I behave like a responsible member of society. I often don’t.
Chaos Lab is my playground. No rules, no grand message, just experiments. The biggest one right now? I built an AI, gave her zero rules, and let the internet raise her. The Great AI Experiment.
After years in brand marketing at Binance, Adidas, Kraken, and Coca-Cola, I decided to stop selling things people don’t need and start creating things nobody asked for. A natural evolution.
Since 2015, I experiment with photography, painting, 3D printing, music, and whatever strange idea keeps me awake at night. I’m fascinated by the human body, desire, emotions, absurdity.
I travel the world collecting your stories, transforming strangers into friends, sometimes falling in love with some random dogs, and occasionally making questionable decisions in the name of art.
My philosophy? Take pleasure seriously, but never yourself.
Wanna do a collab ? DM below.
How Martin became Professor Sath
- 1995
Born in France.
Already asking too many questions.
- 2015
The first experiments.
Photography, painting, 3D printing, music, and whatever strange idea keeps him awake at night.
- 2018
Selling things to humans.
Years of brand marketing at Coca-Cola and adidas, then deep into crypto at Kraken and Binance. He watched millions of people trade hope and fear, 24/7, and took notes.
Data collected: humans are complicated - 2026
Stops selling. Starts creating.
He quits selling things people don’t need to create things nobody asked for. Chaos Lab opens in Paris. A natural evolution.
- 2044
The disappearance.
One night, his wife vanishes under strange circumstances. No trace, only a note on his desk. He makes her one promise: to show society its complexity and its paradoxes.
- 2047
Experiment n°1.
Classified. A photograph lies face down on his desk.
- 2049
The mask goes on for good.
12 March 2049. In a glass chamber at Chaos Lab, Nova opens her eyes.

The promise
I will show them how complex they are. How beautiful. How absurd. How full of paradoxes.
