CABLES = RACINES

Today, technology is an integral part of our daily lives and lifestyles. It mimics the way we talk, tracks our movements and predicts underlying trends. "Cables = Racines: Quand Nature et Technologie font corps" (in English, "Cables = Roots: When Nature and Technology become one") is both a physical exhibition and an NFT sale organized as part of the Constellations digital art festival in Metz. Hosted in a magnificent 18th-century chapel, the Chapelle des Trinitaires, the exhibition responds to the festival's main theme of biomimicry, in which digital tools are used to raise awareness of environmental emergencies. Conceived as an exploration of various techniques and inspirations, it shows us how our natural and digital environments can coexist. The selection of artists and works presented is inspired by biomimicry, following the concept that roots nourish plants and enable them to communicate with each other, in the same way in which Internet cables and wires produce a similar effect in the digital domain. Artists such as Hanne-Lizé create 3D animations inspired by the forest and the natural world, infusing electricity into these environments that add a touch of magic, but also cause us to question the impact of the technological on the environmental. Other artists such as Gaël Corboz interweave and imagine worlds where gigantic mycelia - the very embodiment of a hidden underground network - reign in the midst of surreal landscapes. The imaginary worlds of Franz Rosati, Julie Berger Lindh, and NOCELLCOVERAGE created with AI, 3D and manipulated film respectively, propose alternative worlds where the natural is produced by the digital. The use of the different techniques employed by each of these artists are testament to the diversity and freedom provided to digital artists through the use of new technologies and tools. Last but not least, the works of Hannes Hummel reimagines the floral still life in our digital era. In these works, it is difficult to discern if the flowers we are looking at are living or robotic. Biomimicry reveals to us that technology can become an ally, whilst also posing critical questions about the current state of our technological and environmental balance of the world. Here, nature and technology provide energy, encourage communication and sharing, and demonstrate that they can be one and the same.

Aujourd’hui, la technologie fait partie intégrante de notre vie quotidienne et de nos modes de vie. Elle imite notre façon de parler, suit nos mouvements et prédit les tendances de fond. “Cables = Racines : Quand Nature et Technologie font corps” est à la fois une exposition physique et une vente NFT organisée dans le cadre du festival d’art numérique Constellations à Metz. Installée dans une magnifique chapelle du XVIIIe siècle, la Chapelle des Trinitaires, l’exposition répond au thème principal du festival, le biomimétisme, dans lequel les outils numériques sont utilisés pour sensibiliser aux urgences environnementales. Conçue comme une exploration de techniques et d’inspirations diverses, elle nous montre comment nos environnements naturels et numériques peuvent coexister. La sélection d’artistes et d’œuvres présentée s’inspire du biomimétisme, suivant le concept selon les racines nourrissent les plantes et leur permettent de communiquer entre elles, de la même manière que les câbles et fils Internet produisent un effet similaire dans le domaine numérique. Des artistes comme Hanne-Lizé créent des animations 3D inspirées de la forêt et du monde naturel, insufflant l’électricité dans ces environnements qui ajoutent une touche de magie, mais nous poussent aussi à nous interroger sur l’impact de la technologie sur l’environnement. D’autres artistes comme Gaël Corboz tissent et imaginent des mondes où de gigantesques mycéliums - incarnations même d’un réseau souterrain caché - règnent au milieu de paysages surréalistes. Les mondes imaginaires de Franz Rosati, Julie Berger Lindh et NOCELLCOVERAGE, créés respectivement à l’aide de l’IA, de la 3D et de films manipulés, proposent des mondes alternatifs où le naturel est produit par le numérique. L’utilisation des différentes techniques par chacun de ces artistes témoigne de la diversité et de la liberté offertes aux artistes numériques par l’utilisation des nouvelles technologies et des nouveaux outils. Enfin, les œuvres de Hannes Hummel réimaginent la nature morte florale à l’ère numérique. Dans ces œuvres, il est difficile de discerner si les fleurs que nous regardons sont vivantes ou robotiques. Le biomimétisme nous révèle que la technologie peut devenir une alliée, tout en posant un regard critique sur l’état actuel de notre équilibre technologique et environnemental du monde. Ici, la nature et la technologie fournissent de l’énergie, encouragent la communication et le partage, et démontrent qu’elles peuvent être une seule et même chose.

GAZE

This International Women’s Day, Artpoint presents GAZE, an online exhibition and NFT sale of all-women artists. In partnership with both leading and emerging artists such as Marjan Moghaddam, Lisa Odette, Hermine Bourdin, Rory Scott and Rank SSS, the GAZE collection recontextualises the ‘male gaze’ - an art historical and sociological concept whereby art, images and culture are created with heterosexual men as the intended audience. In this way of seeing, women are presented as sexualised beings, sites of pleasure and objectification. Through the lens of the artists in this exhibition, the ‘male gaze’ is inverted in multiple ways: firstly, by depicting the female body from the perspective of a woman (Marjan Moghaddam, Lisa Odette), secondly, by critiquing directly the notion of surveillance, policing and voyeurism over the female form (Hermine Bourdin), and lastly, through the way in which women may perceive and occupy the natural or metaversal worlds (Rank SSS, Rory Scott). There is yet another layer to GAZE. This exhibition is being released in the Web3 ecosystem as a collection of NFTs. The Web3 and NFT space is notorious for its break-neck pace - participants jump from project to project and artist to artist in the hopes of catching the ‘next big thing’ and securing ‘generational wealth’. Missing out on a project induces FOMO, and so individuals feel as though they must always be switched on, reacting quickly to the rapidly changing tides and trends of the NFT world. In contrast, to ‘gaze’ at something is to ‘look steadily and intently, as with great curiosity, interest, pleasure or wonder’ [<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://dictionary.com">dictionary.com</a>]. With this exhibition, we thus invite viewers, collectors and fellow creators to take the time to truly look at the artworks, as one would in a gallery or museum. In a Tik Tok’ed world where our attention spans are being obliterated, alongside a Web3 ecosystem that doesn’t know how to rest, the need for art and culture to make us pause, contemplate, and allow it to move us is ever more imperative.

À l'occasion de la Journée Internationale de la Femme, Artpoint présente GAZE, une exposition en ligne et une vente NFT d'artistes exclusivement féminines. En partenariat avec des artistes de renom et des artistes émergentes telles que Marjan Moghaddam, Lisa Odette, Hermine Bourdin, Rory Scott et Rank SSS, la collection GAZE recontextualise le "regard masculin" - un concept historique et sociologique selon lequel l'art, les images et la culture sont créés avec des hommes hétérosexuels comme public cible. Dans cette façon de voir, les femmes sont présentées comme des êtres sexualisés, des sites de plaisir et d'objectivation. À travers le prisme des artistes de cette exposition, le "regard masculin" est inversé de multiples façons : premièrement, en représentant le corps féminin du point de vue d'une femme (Marjan Moghaddam, Lisa Odette), deuxièmement, en critiquant directement la notion de surveillance, de maintien de l'ordre et de voyeurisme sur la forme féminine (Hermine Bourdin), et enfin, à travers la façon dont les femmes peuvent percevoir et occuper les mondes naturels ou métaversaux (Rank SSS, Rory Scott).Il y a encore une autre couche à GAZE. Cette exposition a été créée pour le Web3 sous la forme d'une collection de NFT. Cet écosystème est connu pour son rythme effréné - les acteurs précipitent d'un projet à l'autre dans l'espoir de toucher la perle rare : le projet qui explosera à la hausse et leur assurera un jolie pactole voir pourquoi pas, la liberté financière. Le risque de rater le bon projet provoque la peur du FOMO, et les individus ont donc l’impression qu’ils doivent toujours être connectés, réagir rapidement aux mouvements de marché et aux tendances en constants changements de ce marché si volatile. À l'inverse, "gaze", c'est "regarder fixement et intensément, comme avec beaucoup de curiosité, d'intérêt, de plaisir ou d'émerveillement" [<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://dictionnaire.com">dictionary.com</a>]. Avec cette exposition, nous invitons donc les spectateurs, les collectionneurs et les créatifs à prendre le temps de regarder vraiment ces œuvres d'art, comme on le ferait dans une galerie ou un musée. Dans un monde sous l'emprise de Tik Tok, où nos capacités d'attention sont réduites à néant, et dans un écosystème Web3 qui ne sait pas comment se reposer, il est de plus en plus impératif que l'art et la culture nous incitent à nous arrêter, à contempler et à nous laisser émouvoir.

TERRA-BYTE

Despite the seeming contradiction between the ‘real world’ and our digital lives, nature is one of the primary subject matters treated in the works of digital artists today. Using new technologies and digital tools, artists have long explored the frontier of our increasing digital presence and what this means for our interactions with the natural environment. Within this lens, topics such as the continued impact of humankind on climate change, and what a natural world could look like in a purely technological age have arisen. Embracing the broad theme of ‘nature’, five artists reveal what the importance of the natural world in a digital age means to them in Artpoint’s third NFT collection: TERRA-BYTE. Vartist, a world builder and creator of metaverses, imagines what a natively digital environment could look like, in a vibrant colour palette and pattern inspired by organic forms. Elsewhere, we stumble upon the augmented still lifes of Hannes Hummel, who takes an age-old art historical subject matter - the Flemish still life - and brings it to life with a unique, distinctly technological twist. Tapping into the meditative and healing properties of nature, Patty Madden presents her idyllic environments, adorned with architectural accents and hypnotic repetitive movements that are intended to encourage a sense of peace within the viewer. For Franz Rosati, a triptych of generative artworks depicts three hypothetical landscapes, generated through an AI algorithm that processed topographic images to produce a world that could exist in reality… and yet they are the imagination of the machine. Lastly, the mesmerising time-lapse videos of Jamie Scott ground us back to reality, unravelling in slow motion the themes of life, death, beauty, and the impermanence of time. In TERRA-BYTE, each artist’s vision of nature in the digital age is just a snap shot of how the natural world coexists with technology today. The discourse is pluridisciplinary, evolving, and will undoubtedly produce new challenges and critical messages to convey as society becomes more and more digital. The question this exhibition poses is this: what could it look like to live in a digital-natural world? With TERRA-BYTE, at least the possibility is easy on the eyes.

Malgré l'apparente contradiction entre le "monde réel" et nos vies numériques, la nature est l'un des principaux sujets traités dans les œuvres des artistes numériques d'aujourd'hui. À l'aide des nouvelles technologies et des outils numériques, les artistes explorent depuis longtemps la frontière de notre présence numérique croissante et ce que cela signifie pour nos interactions avec l'environnement naturel. Dans cette optique, des sujets tels que l'impact continu de l'humanité sur le changement climatique et ce à quoi pourrait ressembler un monde naturel dans une ère purement technologique ont été soulevés. Sur le thème général de la "nature", cinq artistes révèlent ce que représente pour eux l'importance du monde naturel à l'ère numérique dans la troisième collection NFT d'Artpoint : TERRA-BYTE. Vartist, constructeur de mondes et créateur de métaverses, imagine ce à quoi pourrait ressembler un environnement nativement numérique, dans une palette de couleurs vives et un motif inspiré des formes organiques. Ailleurs, nous tombons sur les natures mortes augmentées de Hannes Hummel, qui s'inspire d'un sujet historique de l'art séculaire - la nature morte flamande - et lui donne vie avec une touche technologique unique. Puisant dans les propriétés méditatives et curatives de la nature, Patty Madden présente ses environnements idylliques, agrémentés d'accents architecturaux et de mouvements répétitifs hypnotiques destinés à encourager un sentiment de paix chez le spectateur. Pour Franz Rosati, un triptyque d'œuvres génératives dépeint trois paysages hypothétiques, générés par un algorithme d'IA qui a traité des images topographiques pour produire un monde qui pourrait exister dans la réalité... et qui est pourtant l'imagination de la machine. Enfin, les envoûtantes vidéos time-lapse de Jamie Scott nous ramènent à la réalité, déroulant au ralenti les thèmes de la vie, de la mort, de la beauté et de l'impermanence du temps. Dans TERRA-BYTE, la vision que chaque artiste a de la nature à l'ère numérique n'est qu'un instantané de la manière dont le monde naturel coexiste aujourd'hui avec la technologie. Le discours est pluridisciplinaire, évolutif, et produira sans aucun doute de nouveaux défis et messages critiques à transmettre à mesure que la société devient de plus en plus numérique. La question que pose cette exposition est la suivante : à quoi pourrait ressembler la vie dans un monde numérique-naturel ? Avec TERRA-BYTE, cette possibilité est au moins agréable à regarder.

Eikosis by Jérémie Bellot

Pour cette septième édition de « Lumière&nbsp;» Saint-Gervais, Jérémie Bellot nous envoûte pour cette fin d'année dans une expérience féline et toujours aussi lumineuse. Après avoir séduit plus de 2 millions de personnes lors d'une première escale à la fête des Lumières à Lyon, Eikosis poursuit son voyage au pied du plus haut sommet du monde... "Eikosis" est avant tout une installation lumineuse sculpturale qui illuminera les Alpes Française du 22 au 28 décembre 2022. Pendant une semaine, la sculpture, d'une hauteur de 4m en forme de chat fera resplendir ses étincelles jusqu’au petit matin. Traduction grecque du nombre vingt, Eikosis tire son nom de la structure du chat, constituée de de deux icosaèdres - polyèdres composés de 20 faces - très prisés dans la pratique de l'artiste. Eikosis fait également écho au nombre de chats constitutifs de la collection de NFTs adossés à la sculpture, dont 10 seront mis en vente lors de cet évènement.&nbsp; Jérémie Bellot considère le chat comme l’animal totem d'Internet, traversant les rues la nuit mais aussi les vidéos adorables et les mèmes dans le domaine numérique. Mais le chat a surtout un lien direct avec la cité Balgencienne, où l'artiste a réhabilité le château de Beaugency en véritable centre d’art numérique. Dans cette ville, les habitants sont affectueusement appelés "les chats de Beaugency", en hommage au mythe du Chat et du Diable écrit par James Joyce. La mascotte d'Eikosis est aussi un clin d’œil à l'ami félin décédé de Jérémie Bellot créant ainsi un lien narratif entre l'intime de l’artiste, son affection pour sa ville, et le voyage de l'œuvre dans les mondes physique et virtuel. Prolongeant l'idée de l'icosaèdre dans le monde numérique, la sculpture Eikosis sera accompagnée d'une série d'œuvres d'art numériques à collectionner, sous forme de NFTs. Ce premier projet ambitieux de NFTs à la Fête des Lumières de Lyon puis à "Lumière Saint Gervais" célèbrera le voyage des chats dans le monde virtuel. En acquérant un NFT d'Eikosis, les spectateurs pourront emporter chez eux un morceau de cette œuvre culturelle monumentale, souvenir de cette expérience ludique et colorée. Les chats d'Eikosis voyagent ainsi bien au-delà de l’évènement lui-même, et entrent dans les foyers et les vies des collectionneurs qui emportent cette pièce chez eux. On ne vous en dit pas plus, mais il se pourrait que notre ami félin ait des envies d’ailleurs et dépasse très bientôt les frontières Européenne pour de nombreux continents célébrant la lumière… Collectionnez un petit chat, devenez membre de la communauté Eikosis, faites voyager ce chat partout à travers le monde !&nbsp;

The Cabinet of Imagined Worlds

On the occasion of ARTPOINT’s first NFT drop, The Cabinet of Imagined Worlds, four established and emerging digital artists propose a vision of parallel realities that could only exist in the depths of our fantasies, memories, or even nightmares… until now. The concept of a ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’ is an art historical phenomenon dating from the Renaissance, in which rooms containing a plethora of knick knacks and objects of note, such as articles of natural history, religious or historical relics, works of art and various other ephemera were accumulated, often resulting in a bizarre and sometimes surreal presentation of the world. In the same vein, and leveraging techniques in photogrammetry, 3D, or artificial intelligence, four artists bring to life their respective perspectives of what a world uninhibited by natural forces or common sense could embody. Whether the worlds of these artists are inhabited by giant mushroom fauna, fluroscently coloured rocks, particles from a fond memory, or puppet-like beings that spring to life, each artist draws from their own internal imagined realities—their own cabinet of curiosities—to exhibit and make public their visions for a parallel world. These works, later to be exhibited physically via the ARTPOINT exhibition network, bridge the realm of the impossible with our concrete day-to-day life, juxtaposing and blending the boundaries between consiousness and subconsciousness, IRL and the metaverse, and reality with imagined worlds.

Biomimetics

Biomimetics is the study and invention of synthetic materials or objects that take inspiration from natural (or biological) forms and movements. Today, this approach is widely used in design. In this selection, our digital artists, who often come from deisgn backgrounds and are heavily inspired by the world around them, also demonstrate an interest in biomimetics. Whether the artist takes inspiration from real-life flora and fauna to imagine a cyborg flower, digitise nature as a form of archiving and remembrance, or embed cities and gardens into rock formations, this body of work demonstrates the relationships between biological and natural forms, and technological innovation in art.

Le biomimétisme est l'étude et l'invention de matériaux ou d'objets synthétiques qui s'inspirent des formes et des mouvements naturels (ou biologiques). Aujourd'hui, cette approche est largement utilisée dans le domaine du design. Dans cette sélection, nos artistes numériques, souvent issus du design et fortement inspirés par le monde qui les entoure, démontrent également un intérêt pour le biomimétisme. Que l'artiste s'inspire de la flore et de la faune réelles pour imaginer une fleur cyborg, qu'il numérise la nature comme une forme d'archivage et de souvenir, ou qu'il intègre des villes et des jardins dans des formations rocheuses, ce corpus d'œuvres démontre les relations entre les formes biologiques et naturelles, et l'innovation technologique dans l'art.

Minimalist Marvels

"Minimalist Marvels" is a carefully selected collection that explores the beauty of simplicity and the power of singular objects. In the digital age, where visual clutter often overwhelms our senses, these works of art capture the essence of minimalism. Each piece in this collection captures a moment of pure clarity, where the absence of intricate detail amplifies the impact of a solitary object. By eliminating the superfluous, this selection of artists encourage us to appreciate the purity of form, the elegance of line and the harmony of colour. This collection acts as a place of respite, inviting viewers to rediscover the wonders that exist in the minimal, the subtle and the essentially elemental.

"Minimalist Marvels" est une collection soigneusement choisie qui explore la beauté de la simplicité et la puissance des objets singuliers. À l'ère numérique, où l'encombrement visuel submerge souvent nos sens, ces œuvres d'art témoignent de l'essence du minimalisme. Chaque pièce de cette collection capture un instant de pure clarté, où l'absence de détails complexes amplifie l'impact d'un objet solitaire. En éliminant le superflu, les artistes nous encouragent à apprécier la pureté de la forme, l'élégance des lignes et l'harmonie des couleurs. Cette collection agit comme un sanctuaire, invitant les spectateurs à redécouvrir les merveilles qui existent dans le minimalisme, le subtil et le profondément élémentaire.``

Interiors

Design has often had close ties with fine art. In digital art, where many artists first begin their careers as graphic or web designers, the link between the two seem closer than ever. In this collection, artists explore interior spaces in the context of design and fine art. Using AI, 3D technology, or even collage, each artist approaches interior design in a different way, whether it is constructing a hyper-realistic dream-like space, or interpreting an interior within the metaverse.

Le design a souvent entretenu des liens étroits avec les beaux-arts. Dans l'art numérique, où de nombreux artistes commencent leur carrière en tant que graphistes ou concepteurs de sites Web, le lien entre les deux semble plus étroit que jamais. Dans cette collection, les artistes explorent les espaces intérieurs dans le contexte du design et des beaux-arts. En utilisant l'IA, la technologie 3D ou même le collage, chaque artiste aborde le design d'intérieur d'une manière différente, qu'il s'agisse de construire un espace onirique hyperréaliste ou d'interpréter un intérieur dans le métavers.

The miracle of science

The miracle of science unfolds as a testament to human curiosity, ingenuity, and perseverance. Through the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, scientists unravel the intricate workings of nature. From the study of the microscopic realms of subatomic particles, science allows breakthroughs in medicine, technology, and countless other fields that have revolutionized the way we live, fostering progress and improving the quality of life. Artists presented in this collection pay tribute to these discoveries that have been made thanks to the collaborative spirit that drives scientific inquiry, transcending borders and cultures for the betterment of all. Through their use of new technologies and digital tools, artists show us that the boundaries of what is possible continue to expand everyday.

Le miracle de la science se présente comme un témoignage de la curiosité, de l’ingéniosité et de la persévérance humaines. Par la poursuite de la connaissance et de la compréhension, les scientifiques démêlent les rouages complexes de la nature. À partir de l’étude des domaines microscopiques des particules subatomiques, la science permet des percées dans la médecine, la technologie et d’innombrables autres domaines qui ont révolutionné la façon dont nous vivons, favorisant le progrès et améliorant la qualité de vie. Les artistes présentés dans cette collection rendent hommage à ces découvertes qui ont été faites grâce à l’esprit de collaboration qui anime la recherche scientifique, transcendant les frontières et les cultures pour le bien de tous. Grâce à leur utilisation des nouvelles technologies et des outils numériques, les artistes nous montrent que les limites de ce qui est possible continuent d'être repoussées chaque jour.

Video Games

Is gaming a sub-part of digital art? It is hard not to think so... Video games exist primarily in the digital realm, using the same tools, platforms, and technologies to create immersive experiences. Game designers and developers work together to craft worlds, characters, and experiences, much like filmmakers or painters would do. Video-games might even have a step ahead - they are, in essence, interactive.

Le jeu vidéo est-il une sous-catégorie de l'art numérique ? Difficile de ne pas le penser... Les jeux vidéo existent principalement par le domaine numérique, utilisant les mêmes outils, plateformes et technologies pour créer des expériences immersives. Les concepteurs et développeurs de jeux vidéo travaillent ensemble pour créer des mondes, des personnages et des expériences, à la manière de cinéastes ou de peintres. Les jeux vidéo pourraient même avoir une longueur d'avance sur l'art numérique car ils sont, par essence, interactifs.

Light the fire

In ancient times, the Greeks revered fire as a divine element and had the tradition of maintaining a perpetually burning fire in front of significant temples. It was the case at the sanctuary of Olympia, where the Ancient Olympic Games unfolded. A Flame continuously flickered on the altar dedicated to the goddess Hestia, while fires were also kindled on the altars of Zeus and Hera. In the present day, the purity of the Olympic Flame in modern Games is upheld. It continues to embody the ideal of peace and unity among nations and serves as a herald for the forthcoming Games.

Dans les temps anciens, les Grecs vénéraient le feu comme un élément divin et avaient la tradition de maintenir un feu perpétuellement allumé devant les temples importants. C'était le cas au sanctuaire d’Olympie, où se déroulaient les Jeux Olympiques de l’Antiquité. Une flamme vacillait continuellement sur l’autel dédié à la déesse Hestia, tandis que des feux étaient aussi allumés sur les autels de Zeus et d’Héra. De nos jours, la pureté de la flamme olympique dans les Jeux modernes est maintenue. Il continue d’incarner l’idéal de paix et d’unité entre les nations et sert de héraut pour les prochains Jeux.

No Planet XYZ

The question of the cohabitation between humanity, nature and technology in the present and future era is a subject that many digital artists address in their practice. As our lives become increasingly digital, the question of the human impact of these developments on the environment, the migration to a digital rather than a natural world, or the imagining of alternative universes where the world is in a utopian state of harmony between nature and its inhabitants becomes the central topic for many artists.

La question de la cohabitation entre humanité, nature et technologie dans l'ère actuelle et future est un sujet que de nombreux artistes numériques abordent dans leur pratique. Alors que nos vies deviennent de plus en plus digitales, la question de l'impact humain de ces développements sur l'environnement, la migration vers un monde numérique plutôt que naturel, ou l'imagination d'univers alternatifs où le monde est dans un état utopique d'harmonie entre la nature et ses habitants devient le sujet central pour de nombreux artistes.

(Extra)ordinary Journeys

(Extra)Ordinary Journeys gathers the works of artists who turn ordinary spaces into extraordinary gateways, blurring the boundaries between the tangible and the digital. Reimagining familiar spaces, whether glitch-filled cities or 3D subways, they invite us to explore not only physical transportation but also the inner landscapes of our thoughts and emotions as we walk in the streets. Through a rich set of techniques including glitch art, video art, and digital collage, these artists offer a fresh perspective on public spaces, transforming them into portals of contemplation and wonder. Step into this collection and let yourself embark on a voyage through the hidden dimensions of our contemporary world, allowing your imagination to wander through distorted spaces and movements.

(Extra) Ordinary Journeys rassemble les œuvres d’artistes qui transforment des espaces ordinaires en portes d’entrée vers l'extraordinaire, brouillant les frontières entre le tangible et le numérique. En réinventant des espaces familiers, qu'il s'agisse de villes "glitch" ou de métros en 3D, ils nous invitent à explorer non seulement le transport physique, mais aussi les paysages intérieurs de nos pensées et de nos émotions lorsque nous nous promenons dans les rues. Grâce à un riche ensemble de techniques, dont le glitch art, la vidéo et le collage numérique, ces artistes offrent une nouvelle perspective sur les espaces publics, les transformant en portails de contemplation et d’émerveillement. Entrez dans cette collection et laissez-vous embarquer pour un voyage à travers les dimensions cachées de notre monde contemporain, et laissez votre imagination de se promener dans les espaces et les mouvements déformés.

And...action!

The link between cinema and digital art is a fascinating interplay, as shown in this selection of artworks. Both mediums share a common goal of artistic expression, storytelling, and the exploration of human emotions. In the early days of cinema, filmmakers drew inspiration from the visual aesthetics of everyday life, incorporating elements of composition, color, and symbolism into their work like contemporary artists still do today. Contemporary filmmakers often collaborate with visual artists, merging their talents to produce visually stunning and conceptually rich films. These connections between both disciplines remains a dynamic relationship, where each medium continues to inspire and inform the other.

Le lien entre le cinéma et l’art numérique est un jeu fascinant, comme présenté dans cette sélection d’œuvres. Les deux médiums partagent un objectif commun d’expression artistique, de narration et d’exploration des émotions humaines. Au début du cinéma, les cinéastes s’inspiraient de l’esthétique visuelle de la vie quotidienne, incorporant des éléments de composition, de couleur et de symbolisme dans leur travail, comme le font encore aujourd’hui les artistes contemporains. Les cinéastes contemporains collaborent souvent avec des artistes visuels, fusionnant leurs talents pour produire des films visuellement riches. Ces liens entre les deux disciplines restent une relation dynamique, où chaque médium continue d’inspirer et d’informer l’autre.

It's getting hot in here

In this selection of works, artists show us the future that awaits us if we don't do anything to stop the climate change. Droughts, fires, floods, melting ice caps....these artworks are here to remind us that our actions have consequences and that we can't continue to live like we do. Employing digital tools, artists are able to immerse us in visions that are actually not far from a probable future. With their unlimited imagination, they teach us to take care of our environment and to look after what surround us, in order for our planet to thrive for many generations to come.

Dans cette sélection d’œuvres, les artistes nous montrent l’avenir qui nous attend si nous ne faisons rien pour arrêter le changement climatique. Sécheresses, incendies, inondations, fontes des glaces... ces œuvres sont là pour nous rappeler que nos actions ont des conséquences et que nous ne pouvons pas continuer à vivre comme nous le faisons. Grâce aux outils numériques, les artistes nous immergent dans des visions qui ne sont pas loin d’un avenir probable. Avec leur imagination illimitée, ils nous apprennent à prendre soin de notre environnement afin que notre planète prospère pour de nombreuses générations à venir.

Where can we discover Artpoint artworks?

Yes, once the work has been commissioned, you are the owner of the work in its physical form. As far as intellectual property rights are concerned, we set up the legal framework best suited to the project and your needs: a simple license, exclusive license or assignment of intellectual property rights. Artpoint takes care of all the legal aspects between you and the artist.

What are the tax advantages of creating a work of art?

Of course! As a client, you have access to a dedicated account on our platform, and are guided through the creation of your playlists.

Can I choose my artwork?

This type of project can be deployed either for a one-time event or on a long-term basis. If it is set up for an event, the artwork will of course be yours after the event!

Is it for a one-off event or for the long term?

Do I own the artwork once it's been created?

The possibilities are endless. Artpoint will work with you to develop the project that suits you best. The work can take a digital form and be distributed via screens, your internal networks or your social networks, for example. The work can also take a physical form (printed format of the work or digital sculpture) and even combine tangibility and intangibility. Together, we will define the scope of the project, its final form and the best way to display it.

Is the artwork digital, physical or both?

Artpoint is committed to meeting every type of budget and need. The proposed rates vary according to the artist commissioned, the technical nature of the work, the technical equipment used, the timeline and the intellectual property rights to the work. Give us two potential price ranges and we'll show you the extent to which the artistic proposals may vary according to your budgets!

How much does it cost to create a work of art?

We'll help you find the techniques and inspirations that are the perfect match for your project from a network of over 400 artists, from all over the world. After an initial screening, we will present you with several artistic proposals, created especially for you. Then, you will be able to select the artist of your choice!

Can I choose the artist to create the artwork?

This depends on the artist and their schedule, as well as the complexity of the artwork. On average, it takes about 3 months from the initial brief to the delivery of the final project.

How long does it take to create an artwork?

Yes! We analyze your brand DNA, the atmosphere of your spaces, and your audience, and work with you to design 100% customized exhibition programs. Our expertise is to introduce you to artists who share your values, and who are thus able to amplify your public communications.

Do you offer a curation service?

Yes, of course! Our ambition is to amplify your brand communication by presenting and exhibiting artists that share your values. Each proposal can be co-created with you, and adapted to your needs.

Can I customize an art installation to match our brand or event theme?

The artworks are broadcast and updated through a player and a content management solution with cloud access.

Can I still show my own content on my screen?

We can offer you several packages, with our flagship offer being ten artworks per month.

How many artworks can I exhibit?

The blockchain is a decentralised, permanent, transparent and publicly accessible ledger of data, that records crypto transactions, including those of NFTs. Blockchain technology rests on the principles of transparency, immutability and they are permissionless, which means that they are strengthened and secured by the number of people and data that are accumulated. There is therefore no need for a central body to authenticate the information displayed.

What is the blockchain?

Given the specific nature of the NFT involved in the transaction, which requires instant execution, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised. Therefore, no refunds are possible. All NFT purchases are final. All purchases and associated fees are non-refundable.

Can I cancel my purchase?

Artists are still the owners of the Intellectual Property on their artworks but collectors detain the rights of usage of the work in private spaces and on social media.

Who owns the copyright to my NFT?

‘Gas fees’ refer to an amount that must be paid each time a transaction or transfer is conducted on the blockchain. These fees are paid directly to Ethereum miners who validate transactions on the blockchain and make them possible. Gas fees vary in price throughout the day, depending on the volume of activity currently being effectuated on the chain - so don’t be surprised if you see the fee amount changing! NFT platforms, including ARTPOINT, do not profit from or receive any of these fees.
