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.

Intimately connected to the body, textiles have long been associated with identity, touch, and forms of cultural transmission. Woven, embroidered, or assembled, they carry stories, gestures, and memories that span generations. The works brought together here extend this heritage by translating it into the digital realm. Through the simulation of materials, the exploration of texture, and the reinterpretation of patterns, the artists in this collection examine the continuity between ancestral traditions, and contemporary tools, reimagining the tactile dimension by suggesting sensations, surfaces, and reliefs through image and screen.

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.

This collection explores the fragile threshold where bodies, objects, and hybrid beings escape the ground to inhabit a state of suspension. Defying the laws of gravity, they drift between sky and earth, never fully belonging to either. In this in-between, materiality is questioned: forms become lighter, uncertain, as if about to vanish or transform. Sometimes the experience is soothing, we can experience a sensation of release, of weight lifted. Other times it unsettles, evoking instability, vertigo, or the fear of falling.

Whether still, in a precarious equilibrium, or caught in a subtle rise or descent, these entities inhabit a mysterious limbo. The air itself becomes a stage for tension and wonder, where levitation reveals both the serenity of lightness and the disquiet of losing one’s anchor.

Women are a notorious minority in the digital art and technology sector. Yet the unique vision that women can present of the world through their artistic practice offers a diversity and nuance of perception essential to the development of this medium. Whether through code, 3D modeling, video capture, or collage, women are questioning what it means to identify as a woman in the digital age, challenging the female body as a site of politics and social stereotypes, or simply saying: we are here and what we create matters.

Digital surrealism brings to life the dreams of these artists, heirs to Dalí, Magritte and Ernst. They harness digital tools to transcend the limits of the imagination, creating works that blend their dream world even more closely with reality.

In all its shades, green evokes nature, hope, and progress. It calls to mind lush forests and verdant meadows, symbols of renewal and growth. It is sometimes complemented with touches of yellow, brown, or, more daringly, red. Even so, green stands alone, vibrant and alive. A symbol of serendipity, the sight of these works bodes well, inspiring a sense of well-being and infinite possibilities.

« Light Shaping Space » is a collection exploring the transformative power of light in both interior and exterior environments. Drawing inspiration from spatial design and architecture, artists capture light’s ability to sculpt and define spaces in unexpected, dreamy ways. With a keen focus on perspective, the artworks offer unique views that invite the viewer to pause and reflect. Light isn't just a physical element here; it becomes a creative force, casting soft shadows, illuminating hidden corners, and blending effortlessly with the geometry of the environment. The collection exudes a soothing, serene atmosphere, where every beam of light gently plays upon the artwork. Whether softening minimalist interiors or illuminating the peaceful outdoors, « Light Shaping Space » brings a meditative quality to the relationship between light, space and perception.

For centuries, the LGBTQIA+ community has been forced to hide. Today, with annual events such as Pride, we are more and more able to celebrate our identities, and people that do not identify with heterosexual and cisgender norms can come together to build safe places to evolve and live. But the fight is not over. All over the world, being queer is still stigmatized and people that are part of this community are still victims of physical and psychological violences. Through their artworks, artists share their reflexions about identity and gender while showing the progress made. So let's be proud of how far we have come and continue to celebrate all identities !

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…

The art of sculpture is above all a history of techniques. Modelling, cutting, casting, drawing, depending on how the earth, metal, wood or stone is worked...
But by practising sculpture in a virtual space, artists open up a new world of possibilities. Both the material and the techniques used to do so are freed from the prosaic considerations of reality: gravity, temperature, fragility... and give free rein to their imagination to create impossible statues with strange properties, such as malleability.
However, digital sculpting is not as radical a break with the history of sculpture as one might think: on the contrary, we observe among many digital sculptors a renewed interest for its past and especially for ancient sculpture, which continues inspire artists over centuries.

When it comes to art created by artificial intelligence, who is the true creator - the artist or the machine? As AI is slowly creeping into our daily lives, digital artists have also addressed the subject of the boundaries between humans and machines through their creations. For some artists, AI is a new tool for experimentation, allowing them to push the limits of creation even further. Other artists focus on the aesthetic power of the machine: can an algorithm, once it is diverted from its practical function, trigger a human emotion?

It is often said that the possibilities are endless in digital art. We therefore frequently see artists diving into the depths of their imagination, their subconscious or their dreams to create fantastic and surreal worlds that transport the viewer into another universe. In this selection, one encounters tree-sized mushrooms, space flowers, floating neon rocks and landscapes that are born from the imagination of Artificial Intelligence. Through 3D, code, and digital collage, these artists allow the viewer to plunge into their own dreams and subconscious and encourage limitless creativity.

What really lies at the depths of the ocean? Our planet's waters has been the source of much curiosity and mystery since the dawn of human history, resulting in lavish stories and mythologies across time and cultures. In this collection, our artists dive into the subject themselves, reinterpreting and imagining underwater worlds in their own style. From cryptofish that live natively on OpenSea, to real-life video captures of microscopic underwater life, or even putting into question our own human relationships with water, this collection presents multiple experiences and ways of interacting with the sublime entity that is the Ocean.

Art mingles with our deepest meditations to accompany us on a journey towards the discovery of our inner peace. While the therapeutic virtues of art are well known, they are multiplied through the exploration of new media by artists, who give shape to new and unique sensory experiences. Captivating and relaxing, the works presented in this collection play with patterns and textures, in sometimes kaleidoscopic and psychedelic animations. Artists plunge us into restful worlds, on the frontiers of imagination and reality, to offer us a moment of escape in a meditative artistic contemplation.

This collection unfolds around sparks of light — glimmers, reflections, and flashes — that transform perception and transfigure the ordinary. From glitter accentuating a detail to the shimmering surface of water at sunset, from suspended confetti to the dazzling play of diamonds, each work toys with the illusion of a world where light becomes substance.

Between magic and reality, these sparkles evoke both the wonder of fireworks and the fragility of memory, as if each reflection carried within it a fragment of a dream. Echoing Baudelaire’s “fugitive sparks” or Proust’s luminous visions, brilliance is never mere ornament: it is a total sensory experience.

Here, light does more than dazzle — it guides the eye toward the extraordinary, reminding us that within every shimmer lies a gateway to the imagination.

Digital art sometimes carries a form of nostalgia for traditional art. Artists thus seek to reconcile the masterpieces of history with the tools of our time, always pushing further the limits of creation. Unveiling new horizons, they urge us to rediscover ancient art in unusual ways, thanks to 3D scans or models which pay tribute to the statues of mythological or real characters. In a fusion between ancient and digital art, travel through eras and artistic styles.

Memory is the intricate tapestry that weaves together the fabric of our lived experiences, capturing fleeting moments and preserving them for the canvas of our minds. Souvenirs, like tiny anchors tethered to specific memories, play a crucial role in this process. These tangible tokens serve as portals to the past, transporting us back to cherished moments with the mere touch or sight of them. Whether it's a postcard from a distant destination, a worn concert ticket, or a seashell collected from a sunlit beach, each souvenir carries a unique narrative, etching its significance into the corridors of our memory. The digital artworks presented in this collection use these mementos as vessels of nostalgia, unlocking emotions and stories that might have otherwise faded into the recesses of time.

Childhood is a recurring theme in art, serving as a canvas that captures the essence of innocence, wonder, and the fleeting nature of youth. Artists presented in this collection have sought to immortalize the magic of childhood through their creations, using various digital tools to evoke a sense of nostalgia and introspection. Childhood in art often becomes a symbol of untarnished potential, a time when imagination knows no bounds and the world is a vast playground of discovery. Whether portrayed through idyllic landscapes, cartoon characters or childish objects, the theme of childhood serves as a universal reminder of the precious, transient nature of youth, inviting viewers to reflect on their own journey from innocence to experience.

Paris is not a frozen postcard, it’s a living, breathing city in constant motion. This collection dives into the many layers of the capital: its iconic landmarks, Olympic energy, culinary treasures, world-famous museums, and the vibrant beat of its streets. Artists capture the city as it’s truly felt — a mosaic of moments, lights, sounds, and emotions.

Between heritage and modernity, Paris becomes a canvas for visual expression: sometimes intimate, sometimes grand, playful, nostalgic, or electric. A city we think we know — yet always manages to surprise.

Delve into the thought-provoking world of Robotics, a collection in which artists explore the intricate relationship between humans and machines. Addressing collective consciousness, challenging our understanding of what it means to be human in the face of rapid technological advancements, artists put into consideration the very essence of our humanity. Is the human experience replicable, imitable, or even replaceable? Where does the limit stand between what is organic and what is synthetic? As artists confront us with the possibility of creating augmented humans, they urge us to wonder whether robotics enhances or diminishes our existence. Does technology make us better, or worse? Should we fear the rise of robotics, or should we embrace the opportunities they present? Can we create something living, something human, out of machines, as technology develops? In these works, artists address these various questions and offer some answers, tying their practices to the most contemporary of issues.

This collection celebrates the mountain in all its splendor, unveiling its multiple faces through the seasons. In winter, its snow-covered ridges radiate a crystalline silence; in summer, its meadows and forests unfold in vibrant hues. Between icy stillness and fertile abundance, the mountain becomes both a stage for natural drama and a sanctuary of solitude. The artworks highlight the play of light that defines these reliefs: dazzling reflections on glaciers, golden glimmers at sunrise, deep shadows that carve space and accentuate vertigo. They also reveal the richness of biodiversity that thrives in this demanding environment, where each flower, tree, and creature testifies to resilience and adaptation.

Majestic and untamed, the mountain embodies both grandeur and intimacy. Through these artistic visions, it appears not only as a landscape to contemplate but also as a world to experience — a call to discovery, reverie, and humility before nature.

This delightful collection of works revels in all that is gourmand. Our artists explore the theme of food with joy and playfulness, resulting in colourful and whimsical artworks. Through techniques such as digital collage, 3D software, or even video and post-production edits, this mouthwatering selection of works demonstrates the diversity of techniques that can be used in digital art in a way that is sure to leave you wanting more!

In this collection of works, artists take the themes of wild life and animals as their central focus, but explore this subject matter with differing techniques and approaches. There are mulitude of ways an artist can approach this topic, whether it is through humour and whimsy, as in the works of Gavin Shapiro or Ghost, or to address centuries old astrological symbols. Of course, the question of the preservation of endangered wild life and the environment also often comes into play, as digital artists create these works as a message and reminder to look after other living species around us, and concretise their memory on the internet or blockchain.

Digital tools have imposed a radical transformation on our relationship to reading and writing. This collection brings together works that depict this change : they show dream libraries, embodying the infinite accumulation of texts that is possible in the virtual world, and demonstrate or regret the disappearance of handwriting in favor of keyboards.

One thing is certain: the digital age has made words more powerful than ever. They are an inspiration, a weapon, a lifeline, and a way out. Let us preserve words and books, both virtual and physical: they incarnate our humanity.

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.

This collection centres work that takes dreams as its primary root of inspiration. Whether the artists attempt to visually depict what a dream could look or feel like, or else create their pieces based on a dream they once had, the infinite possibilities in digital art lend well to the ephemeral and intangible quality of a dream.

This selection of artworks demonstrates how digital artists treat the topics of history and heritage in different ways, utilising diverse techniques to achieve their intended messages. An overarching interrogation point for many of these artists is: how can history be reconsidered, reappropriated, or rewritten through the biais of new technologies?

For artists such as the French collective Obvious, or Japanese artist Saeko Ehara, for example, using AI technology is a means to revisit the past and reinterpret it through visual co-creations with the machine. Elsewhere, Joelle McTigue creates abstracted works based on her own photography of various architectural and botanical subject matter where she lives in Montenegro, and in so doing recounts the economic, political and colonial histories of this location. Other artists such as Marine Bléhaut or Rafafans utilise video or animated collage from historical film archives or artworks to provide a contemporary spin on old source material, touching upon themes of memory, nostalgia, or timelessness.

This collection celebrates jewelry in all its forms. It combines the fascinating beauty of jewels from yesteryear with the futuristic aesthetics of high-tech creations. Virtual artists chisel pixels and vectors, sculpting light to reinvent the age-old codes of goldsmithing. From avant-garde adornments to more abstract but equally scintillating compositions, jewelry in the age of digital art offers an infinite horizon of possibilities.

Glitch art emerges from technological error, transforming system failures and corrupted data into deliberate artistic language. By exposing the invisible structures behind digital images, artists reclaim accident and malfunction as spaces of creation rather than defects to be erased. What should remain hidden, altered pixels, corrupted data, and visual disruptions, becomes material for new visual narratives.

Yet glitch extends far beyond aesthetics. As theorists and artists have shown, error can also operate as a political gesture: a disruption of norms, identities, and systems that demand coherence and conformity. In revealing cracks within digital spaces, glitch art invites us to question the supposed neutrality of technology and the images that surround us daily. These works embrace instability, ambiguity, and transformation, suggesting that within disruption lies the possibility to rethink how bodies, identities, and realities are constructed. In the glitch, failure becomes fertile ground for imagining new ways of existing within and beyond our technological frameworks.
