EVA as Core Commercial IP Added Mar 30, 2026
Captured directly from the official Anyma website on March 30, 2026 (19:15-19:19 CET). These captures establish a consistent and unambiguous pattern: EVA is not a supporting visual element, but the central intellectual property underpinning Anyma's entire commercial ecosystem.

AEDEN World Tour 2026 — Complete Credit Erasure Added Feb 17, 2026
Critical finding (February 2026): ANYMA announced the AEDEN World Tour 2026, including a Coachella headline slot. Across 28+ articles covering the announcement, Alessio De Vecchi is mentioned ZERO times — despite having created the visual universe that defines every ANYMA production.

AEDEN Announcement Uses EVA Added Apr 6, 2026
The AEDEN World Tour was announced on @anyma's TikTok on February 19, 2026 (738.8K likes, 65.1K saves at time of capture). The announcement video features EVA towering over the crowd, with the on-screen text "WHAT'S NEXT?" The accompanying caption reads:
"AEDEN World Tour on sale NOW! A whole new show: NEW MUSIC, NEW VISUALS, and a NEW PRODUCTION concept"
EVA's creation, attribution, and visual identity are documented elsewhere in this vault (see EVA as Core Commercial IP and the 3-Phase Credit Erasure Pattern). The character was developed during the prior creative cycle and is associated with Alessio De Vecchi across press, social media, internal Drive/Miro files, and merchandise.
The announcement places two elements side by side:
Context: Alessio De Vecchi is currently developing 4-6 visuals for AEDEN, including a new character (Lucypher). Creation timestamps, iteration history, and source files for these contributions are being preserved in parallel.

Major Publications
Vogue Italia — De Vecchi credited by name with direct quote acknowledging his role in creating ANYMA's visuals.
Variety — "De Vecchi and Wessely" listed as co-equals. False equivalence: De Vecchi involved since inception (2020), Wessely joined ~March/April 2024 — 4 years later, months before Sphere.
Variety — Alessio's extensive conceptual interview reduced to technical commentary (camera specs, composition rules).

Summary
Capital Contribution Analysis
The ANYMA project wallet received approximately $1,470,000 in NFT revenue during the bootstrap phase (2021-2023). Under the agreed 50/50 revenue split:
This $272,000 represents Alessio's undrawn revenue share that remained as working capital during the pre-launch phase — the period of highest risk before ANYMA had generated any show revenue. This capital funded production costs, contractor payments, and operational expenses.
Note: The $1,470,000 total NFT revenue figure is estimated and requires verification through the annual accounting Alessio is entitled to under applicable copyright law. The withdrawal amounts ($463,000) are blockchain-verified and exact.

Timeline
Prior Art: First EVA character created by Alessio — View file
Prior Art: "In abandoned places" and "Don't make waves" minted on SuperRare — 13+ months BEFORE Anyma
Prior Art: "Technogenic" robot/cyborg NFT created — establishes visual language
Developed ANYMA with Matteo from the beginning. Created EVA (100%), ADAM, and SYREN; LILITH co-developed with Matteo (face 100% Alessio's — from his film). Visual identity and aesthetic direction.
First ANYMA solo show — EVA's first appearance in a music context. Iconic image from the debut.
EVA 0 NFT sold for 50 ETH (~$222,541)
Palazzo Strozzi exhibition (Florence) — Alessio exhibits "Angel 1" (EVA-based piece) at "Let's Get Digital!" alongside Beeple, Refik Anadol, Daniel Arsham, Krista Kim. Designboom credits ANYMA as "Matteo Milleri and Alessio De Vecchi."
ClubHoppers: "Meet Alessio De Vecchi: The NFT Artist Behind Anyma's 3D Music Project" — credits him as "Visual Director for Anyma."
EDM.com Best Visual Artist award.
The Groove Cartel: "Alessio De Vecchi, the genius behind Anyma's visuals" — calls him "the mastermind behind Anyma's art direction."
Alexander Wessely incident: Wessely joins ANYMA as stage designer for Sphere — 4 years after Alessio, only months before the Sphere residency begins. Matteo promises him "Creative Director" credit without telling Alessio (the person who built the visual world since 2020). This marks the beginning of credit reassignment.
Alessio escalates, credit restored. Wessely acknowledges Alessio's foundational role in Flaunt, Office, Document Journal.
Art Director for The Weeknd × ANYMA collaboration, São Paulo. Title accepted as a deliberate one-off (gig came through Wessely). Covered by Paper Magazine, EDM.com.
Visual Co-Creative Director, Sphere Las Vegas — "The End of Genesys" (12 shows, 200k+ attendance). Compensated with an arbitrary €115K for merchandise sales — no accounting ever provided.
Variety: "involved since Anyma's inception" — but article frames De Vecchi and Wessely as co-equals (false equivalence) and reduces Alessio's extensive conceptual interview to technical commentary only.
Forbes: Sphere residency feature — describes the visual spectacle in detail but does NOT mention De Vecchi. Hero character is EVA (his creation).
Billboard Pro: "Inside the Creation of Anyma's Sphere Residency" — De Vecchi NOT mentioned. Agent Ferry + Wessely credited. Hero image is EVA.
Wikipedia blackout: 15-month period where De Vecchi is completely absent from the Anyma Wikipedia article. Concurrent with tier-1 press omissions above. Disclosed paid editor (Oren Hope, Universal Music) later documented on Talk:Anyma.
These four items overlap in time and source. Forbes, Variety and Billboard Pro all published about the Sphere residency during the same quarter the Wikipedia page was blacked out — a simultaneous removal of De Vecchi from both the public record and the tier-1 press coverage of the most commercially significant work of his career.
Travis Scott incident: Travis Scott guest appearance at Anyma Ibiza party. SYREN (100% Alessio's character) dominates the stage. 785K likes, 42K bookmarks. De Vecchi receives zero credit and is banned from meeting Travis Scott.
Afterlife shop and other channels sell Anyma merchandise featuring EVA, ADAM, and other De Vecchi characters at €65/item — Alessio not informed, no accounting provided.
Alexander Wessely RESIGNED. Pattern of credit minimization continues across 28+ AEDEN tour articles with zero De Vecchi mention.
