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.

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.

Spiralling

Spirals are some of the oldest decorative patterns in the world, and have been a visual reference in most human visual cultures. It makes sense, given te spiral embodies an ancestral human concern : the concept of infinity. Digital art allows artists to bring the spiral into a new dimension : with a perfectly executed video loop, one can make a spiral spin literally forever. Or, with a generative algorithm, one can make a spiral whose movement can be cyclical, but whose visual characteristics shift continuously.Digital tools therefore allow artists to reinvent this iconic pattern. Some turn it into a diabolical gear that embodies the anxiety induced by the principle of infinity, while others create a peaceful, perfect visual with ASMR ambiance, others still use the dynamic of its movement to induce powerful energy into colorful, sometimes psychedelic works. Some ultimately focus on the spiral’s geometry while others reintroduce it in natural environments, where existed long before human creativity seized it…

La spirale est un des plus anciens motifs décoratifs au monde, et elle a figuré au répertoire visuel de la plupart des cultures humaines. Logique, puisqu’elle incarne l’une des préoccupations ancestrales de l’homme, à savoir le principe de l’infini. L’art numérique l’emmène dans une nouvelle dimension : grâce à une boucle vidéo parfaitement exécutée, on peut faire tournoyer une spirale véritablement à l’infini. Un algorithme génératif permettra quant à lui de faire la évoluer en continu : un mouvement cyclique, mais dont les caractéristiques visuelles se transforment continuellement.Les outils numériques permettent donc aux artistes de réinventer ce motif emblématique. Les uns en font un engrenage infernal qui traduit l’angoisse de l’infini, les autres l’utilisent pour créer un visuel paisible et parfait à l’effet ASMR, tandis que certains utilisent son dynamisme pour transmettre une puissante énergie dans des œuvres colorées, voire psychédéliques. Les uns enfin jouent de sa géométrie, tandis que d’autres encore la réintroduisent dans le monde naturel, où elle a existé bien avant que la créativité humaine ne s’en empare…

Data and particles

Data is the language of computers, the starting point of many computational process. Through algorithms and programs, it transforms into a symphony of zeros and ones. To the untrained eye, it is an invisible and mysterious object, hidden behind complex user interfaces. The artists in this collection reveal the behind-the-scenes of digital art by creating a meta-work where the tool merges with the artwork itself, thus transforming abstractions into tangible representations. Thanks to their vision, data comes to life and metamorphoses into true works of art.

Les données sont le langage des ordinateurs, point de départ de procédés informatiques. À travers les algorithmes et les programmes, elles se transforment en une symphonie de zéros et de uns. Pour l'oeil néophyte, elles sont un objet invisible et mystérieux, cachées derrière des interfaces utilisateur complexes. Les artistes de cette collection nous révèlent alors l'envers du décor de l'art numérique en créant une méta-oeuvre où l'outil fusionne avec l'oeuvre elle-même, transformant ainsi des abstractions en représentations tangibles. Grâce à leur vision, les données prennent vie et se métamorphosent en véritables œuvres d'art.

Bloom

Flowers are a symbol and theme loved and recognised by all. They have been the primary subject matter of artists and movements for centuries, and digital artists are no exception. In the age of digital art, flowers are reinterpreted through code, 3D technologies, collage or more to explore the ways in which flowers occupy space in our lives, both IRL and in the metaverse.

Les fleurs sont un symbole et un thème aimé et reconnu par tous. Elles ont été le sujet principal des artistes et des mouvements depuis des siècles, et les artistes numériques ne font pas exception. À l'ère de l'art numérique, les fleurs sont réinterprétées par le biais de codes, de technologies 3D, de collages ou autres, afin d'explorer la manière dont elles occupent l'espace de nos vies, tant dans l'IRL que dans le métavers.

Made In France

France is one of the leading countries in Europe for digital art and Web3. By celebrating the creativity and contributions of French artists in digital media and techniques, France continues to establish itself as a leader on issues related to the intersection between art and technology. In this collection, a large diversity of techniques - such as generative art made with code, video, 3D, and digital collage - demonstrates the vast and profound nature of France's commitment to the development of this sector.

La France est l'un des principaux pays d'Europe pour l'art numérique et le Web3. En célébrant la créativité et les contributions des artistes français aux médias et techniques numériques, la France continue de s'imposer comme un leader sur les questions liées à l'intersection entre l'art et la technologie. Dans cette collection, une grande diversité de techniques - telles que l'art génératif réalisé avec du code, la captation vidéo, la 3D et le collage numérique - démontre la nature vaste et profonde de l'engagement de la France dans le développement de ce secteur.

Internet Age

Not surprisingly, the way the internet has changed our culture is a central topic for many digital artists. Some artists take a nostalgic approach to the early internet icons and symbols of the 1990s and early 2000s, while others are interested in the power of the blockchain and how it is shaping a new digital art market. This collection demonstrates the various methods and techniques through which artists explore internet culture. Through art made with code, by exploring the glitch, in making references to the blockchain or through exploring how our lives and bodies are increasingly entwined with technology, these works go back to the essence of the influence - good or bad - of the internet on our lives today.

Il n'est pas surprenant que la façon dont Internet a changé notre culture soit un sujet central pour de nombreux artistes numériques. Certains artistes adoptent une approche nostalgique des premières icônes et symboles de l'internet des années 1990 et du début des années 2000, tandis que d'autres s'intéressent à la puissance de la blockchain et à la manière dont elle façonne un nouveau marché de l'art numérique. Cette collection démontre les différentes méthodes et techniques par lesquelles les artistes explorent la culture internet. À travers l'art fait avec du code, en explorant le glitch, en faisant des références à la blockchain ou en explorant la façon dont nos vies et nos corps sont de plus en plus imbriqués dans la technologie, ces œuvres reviennent à l'essence de l'influence - bonne ou mauvaise - d'internet sur nos vies aujourd'hui.

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.

Art History

Digital art has often been confined to a niche in the international art world. In this collection, digital artists take inspiration from art history, either by re-interpreting renaissance and classical masterpieces, or by reimagining what the white cube gallery space could look like in a digital era. In so doing, digital artists reinterpret how we construct and read art history, but also stake their place in the canon of art.

L'art numérique a souvent été confiné à une niche dans le monde de l'art international. Dans cette collection, les artistes numériques s'inspirent de l'histoire de l'art, soit en réinterprétant des chefs-d'œuvre de la Renaissance et de l'époque classique, soit en réimaginant ce à quoi pourrait ressembler le white cube d'une galerie à l'ère du numérique. Ce faisant, les artistes numériques réinterprètent la manière dont nous construisons et lisons l'histoire de l'art, mais revendiquent également leur place dans le canon de l'art.

Virtual faces

Artists of this collection play with faces. Whether to enhance, distort or reinvent them, the face is the primary vector of human emotion. The digital palettes applied to them explore and amplify this expressiveness, transforming each face into a unique and captivating work of art.

Les artistes de cette collection jouent avec les visages. Que ce soit pour les sublimer, les déformer ou bien les réinventer, le visage est le premier vecteur d'émotion chez l'humain. Les palettes numériques qui leur sont appliquées permettent d'explorer et d'amplifier cette expressivité, transformant chaque visage en une œuvre d'art unique et captivante.

Blue Reverie

Blue is, above all, the color of the sky, then of the sea where it is reflected. It evokes infinity and escape, opening a window to distant horizons. It is associated with serenity, melancholy, or dreams. In short, blue is inspiring, prompting contemplation and introspection. As a color far from the warmth of bodies and the material world, the works in the Blue collection invite a mental stroll, an inner journey where the mind can wander and find itself.

Le bleu, c'est avant tout la couleur du ciel, puis de la mer où il se reflète. Il évoque l'infini et l'évasion, ouvrant une fenêtre sur des horizons lointains. On l'associe à la sérénité, à la mélancolie ou bien aux rêves. En somme, le bleu est inspirant, incitant à la contemplation et à l'introspection. Couleur loin de la chaleur des corps et du monde matériel, les oeuvres de la collection Blue invitent à une balade mentale, un voyage intérieur où l'esprit peut se perdre et se retrouver.

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 450 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?

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?

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.

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.
