Jos

Argentina

Jos is a digital artist from Buenos Aires. He builds semi-static surrealistic worlds to share his perception: everything is as beautiful as it is absurd and our dimension compels us to observation. His work focuses on the wonder that resides in every manifestation of being and the way it communicates to those who take the time to stop and contemplate the plot that underlies every gesture.


His main interests are surrealist scenarios and their link to human intervention, mainly industrious, as well as dystopian imagery and the visual representation of our link to the cosmos: The perspective in which such a contrast places us and the undoubted privilege of being silent accomplices of a beauty that precedes us and will survive our passing. Jos began his journey in the NFT ecosystem in October 2020 and his exhibited works are already in the hands of prestigious collectors.

The First Man

The_First_Man_Jos_Collage.mp4

At the dawn of time, there was a first contact between man and the environment. At that time things had no name. The water of the river flowed without ever having been heard, and there was no way to define with a word the effect of light generated by lightning across the sky. Human beings began to define themselves, chose gods, made an agreement with nature. There was a day, a time, a light, in which living beings that had never seen each other before, met for the first time. We were witnesses of time, of the seasons. The life and death of the sun before our own. That capacity for wonder still occupies a place in the tunnel of our memory. We can recover it.

More on digital art

Generative art
Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.
AI
AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.
3D
3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.
Collage
An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.
Illustration
Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.
Video
Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
