In the ever-evolving landscape of digital art, a series of captivating artworks emerges, inviting viewers on a journey through the intricate intersection of playfulness, daily life, and the continuum of time itself. These creations, collectively titled "Gaming the Spectrum of Existence," are a mesmerizing exploration of how the concept of gaming metaphorically weaves together the threads of our past, present, and future.

These artworks beckon us to reflect on our own lives as a grand game, where we are both players and creators of our experiences. Through this lens, the mundane routines of daily existence take on new depth and meaning, revealing hidden layers of beauty, wonder, and excitement that often go unnoticed in the hustle and bustle of life.

But the magic of this digital artwork goes beyond the present moment. The artwork also invites us to consider the past and the future. The artist captures fragments of the past—nostalgic echoes of childhood games, dreams, and memories. Yet, these works are not mired in the past; instead, they transcend time, offering a glimpse into a future where playfulness remains a guiding force, fostering creativity, innovation, and joy.

In this series, digital art becomes a bridge—a bridge that connects us to the timeless power of playfulness, that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, and that reminds us that life itself is the ultimate game we are privileged to play.

Sher created the Exquisite Corpse series during her residency at Art Farm Nebraska in 2023-24. Inspired by the array of collected materials, artworks and artifacts there, she composed hundreds of personal and found objects into spinning still lives. Collaged together, the video compositions interact and become figurative.

No roadmap. No Utility. Just Bounce.

This artwork was a part of an open-edition sale in early 2023. 1,278 editions were collected via Manifold.

Light Figures is a digital dance collection by Wisse Scheele that reimagines the human form in motion—where the body becomes light and movement dissolves into space. This five-part video series blurs the lines between ballet and technology, merging Scheele’s foundation as a classically trained dancer with the limitless possibilities of digital art.

Each work captures figures composed entirely of light, dancing in fluid synchronicity with sound. Their gestures—graceful, glowing, and untethered—are not imaginary. They are the direct digital echoes of Scheele’s own choreography, captured through motion-tracking technology and transformed into radiant avatars.

The collection invites viewers into a meditative, almost otherworldly encounter with movement. Like silk swirling in air, the figures drift and pulse in luminous waves, offering a sensory experience that extends beyond the constraints of the physical body or stage.

At the heart of Light Figures is a simple, profound question: What if light could dance? To answer it, Scheele dons a motion capture suit, performing each choreography himself. Every spin, reach, and suspension is recorded with precision, allowing even the subtlest detail of his dance language to be translated into 3D form.

From there, the skeletal motion data is imbued with light—digitally sculpted into dynamic forms that shimmer, dissolve, and evolve. These aren’t abstract interpretations; they are direct manifestations of Scheele’s artistry, rendered in a new medium that transcends the boundaries of traditional performance.

Light Figures is more than a visual spectacle—it’s a deeply personal exploration of identity, expression, and transformation. It reflects Scheele’s lifelong connection to dance and his vision for how it can inhabit virtual worlds. The result is a powerful blend of intimacy and innovation: a digital stage where emotion moves at the speed of light.
