Adrian Wilson,born 1964 in England, was likely the first professional photographer in the world to digitally manipulate photographs, from 1986 to 1990, using a Quantel Paintbox. Wilson then became a renowned architectural photographer, moving to NYC in 2014 and shooting for the likes of Apple, Architectural Digest and LVMH. Publicly, he is best known as the street artist "Plannedalism," famous for altering street and subway signs in NY. Following the NFT community's search for early digital art, Wilson remembered his own collection that had been in storage for the last 30 years and which will be donated to a museum. In July, Wilson had the good fortune of acquiring one of only 4 Paintboxes in the USA and had it restored to full working order to both create new art on, and to offer it to others to use.
