Monade IV, 2021

Monades is a series of prints and videos made with 3D scans of the artist's body, which became the raw material to be digitally sculpted, deconstructed and re-contextualized. Many inspirations have informed this project, such as the concept of the cyborg by Donna J. Haraway, Hans Bellmer's drawings, Greek Mythology as well as an underlying reflection on self portrait and the place of the body in the digital world. Captive within the limitations of their own subjectivities, these cyborg/goddesses embody the concept of monade, where each individual is a fragmented mirror of a larger reality.

Auriea Harvey
The Mystery v5-dv2 (chroma), 2021

Auriea Harvey’s The Mystery v5-dv2 (chroma) is a digital sculpture that serves as a talisman and a memento mori, a reminder of both beauty and death. Discrete images within the work invite symbolic interpretation, for example, a skull (bone) or a rose (beauty). The sculpture rotates across an intense chromatic landscape in a timeless manner, as if it is waiting to be activated. Harvey’s practice involves elements of self-portraiture, inserting the face of an African-American woman into art historical narratives. This process creates new allegories of figuration, addressing sculpture in both a digital and social connotation. Collector receives the interactive artwork on IPFS with 3D model, HD video, high-resolution stills and AR.

IX SHELLS
Interlinked, 2021

INTERLINKED — is one of those words that’s been repeating in my mind over and over, years after BR2049 and Pale Fire. "A system of cells. Within cells interlinked. Within one stem. And dreadfully distinct"... Repeat after me : i run the script, the script doesn’t run me.

Nicole Ruggiero
Elegant, 2021

Elegant is the first animated artwork in Ruggiero’s crown series. The character is hand-sculpted and hand-textured. The idea behind this series is to evoke strength by recognizing the power of the human form as an avatar. Constructed with only a head and a crown, the singular facial expression conveys important emotion inspired by further integration of the internet with everyday life.

Claudia Hart
The Green Window, 2021

The Green Window is an antidote to a world in crisis as it transits into a reality of malleable and inherently unstable computer simulations and social foment. In The Green Window, time is fluid and elastic, in constant flux and multi-directional, where all is in motion and mutable though nothing is actually happening. This is a different notion of time: an unstable present, in which viewers may experience, through the possibility of simulation-technologies that use scientific data to model natural forces, the crystallization of past, future, and present into a perpetual now.

Marjan Moghaddam
#GlitchGoddess of Art Basel Miami in Red Number Two, 2021

In 2018 the #GlitchGoddess of Art Basel Miami with Picasso #Arthack became the first feminist digital art piece to go viral on top art channels on Instagram & Facebook with 10s of millions of views & hundreds of thousands of shares. Derived from the viral hit which featured voices of women artists talking about inequality, the #GlitchGoddess resists the Art historic convention that the female body is a singular form as she morphs between curvy, slender, heavy, pregnant, stylized, and abstract to glitched. Using Marjan's original and unique style of animation called Chronometric Sculpture, #GlitchGoddess acts as a digital art intervention. Set against red and in a longer form, this version was designed as an NFT specifically for Sea Change and animated painting on LumaCanvas.

Departure, 2021

With every end, there is a new beginning. Departure studies the quiet retrospection between one's own chapters. For a moment, wistful sentiments are preserved within the precious calm, embraced until the next passage starts anew.

Anne Vieux
~float~, 2021

In ~float~ overlapping digital gestures move upon a shifting color field. One image repeats itself as an all over composition and perspective is simultaneous. Vieux explores the boundaries of material, gesture, and color by treating light and pixels as a fluid medium in the context of abstract painting. It is her goal to slow down the experience of virtual space, and speed up the experience of painting space. Vieux explores making the often overlooked transitory moments visible.
