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.

"Digital artists often interrogate the question of mass, or objecthood, for file-based artworks that are almost always displayed on a 2D screen. Unlike painting or sculpture, capturing various dimensions or textures can be a challenge - especially for a work that cannot be handled, or even smelled, and can often only be experienced through the visual sense. How do artists overcome this sensorial barrier and create captivating artworks that appeal to all our senses, despite these challenges?

The collection, 'Playing with matter', explores the multitude facets in which digital artists tackle this conundrum. By bringing to life house hold objects and observing the interplay of these materials against each other and in motion, or by exploring abstract matter in various textures and forms, a true sense of objecthood or mass is conveyed. The works in this collection not only reveal the remarkable quality and accuracy of digital tools and software available to artists today, but also raises the question of how our digital, immaterial lives ressemble our 'IRL' material lives more and more each day."

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?

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.

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.

From dry dunes to tropical islands, this collection explores landscapes shaped by the forces of time, wind, and dreams. It brings together a mosaic of digital visions—some playful, others eerie or symbolic—but all reimagine spaces often seen as lifeless or unreachable. Barren dunes, dry winds, remote islands: these environments, marked by solitude and extremity, are here transformed by the digital gaze of contemporary artists. Through digital collage, 3D rendering, and generative art, the collection offers a visual voyage across imagined geographies. They awaken our collective memory—summer vacations, tales of explorers, drifting thoughts of elsewhere—and invite us to inhabit these unreal places, if only for a moment. Let yourself be carried by the sand and the sea.

In black and white like vintage photographs… and yet, a resolutely contemporary streak inhabits these creations by digital artists. Expressing themselves through various techniques, ranging from 3D to generative art, some artists use a common palette to limit themselves to only two colours: black and white. A return to a dualistic simplicity, the same intrinsic motive, but free of interpretation. If it can be a reflection on the omnipresence of colours and messages, we can also see in these monochrome compositions a timeless opposition. Black and white as confrontation, otherness, contrast, in a Manichaeism bearing meaning and emotion.

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.

This collection explores the many shades of red, from sunsets and fields of flowers to raspberries and painted lips. In the digital arts as in painting, red remains a color of extremes: passion and vitality, but also danger, tension, and power.

Science confirms its impact: red is the most visible color to the human eye, accelerating the heartbeat, heightening desire, and intensifying emotion. Here, red oscillates between softness and intensity, intimacy and universality, reminding us that to contemplate red is to confront the very essence of emotion.

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.

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.

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.

Fungi occupy a kingdom of their own, distinct from plants and animals, their significance extends far beyond biology. Mycelium networks embody interconnection and exchange, offering a metaphor for networks, community, and nature-made technologies. Mushrooms speak to transformation and regeneration, able to turn decay into fertile ground and life into renewal.

Fantastic Fungi brings together artworks that reimagine fungi from mushrooms to sprawling mycelial networks. From vibrant, iridescent mushrooms to humanoid shapes, these works transform the hidden, often overlooked structures of the fungal world into visible manifestations.

By highlighting these hidden structures and their cycles of growth and renewal, this collection invites viewers to reconsider familiar ideas of life, communication, and interconnections.

Although digital and innovation are often associated, in a specific artistic approach, some artists rethink the codes of ‘traditional’ media to propose creations blurring the borders between fashionable and vintage. In a resolutely vintage aesthetic, reminiscent of newspapers and magazines of the last century, artists adopt digital media to bring archives back to life, upgraded with a modern touch, transforming traditional collages into 3.0 creations.

The Tom Wesselmann exhibition presented in winter 2024-2025 at the Fondation Louis Vuitton celebrates pop art, the emblematic movement of the 1960s inseparable from American visual culture. Rejecting traditional art conventions, pop art has redefined the boundaries of creation by making art inseparable from everyday life, integrating industrial techniques, prefabricated materials and mass-market objects. Through figures like Andy Warhol and his Campbell’s Soups or Roy Lichtenstein and his vibrant color comics, this artistic movement has questioned the status of the work of art while capturing the spirit of its time.
This matter of the nature of the work of art remains central today, especially through digital art, which pushes the limits of creative processes thanks to new technologies. So it’s no surprise that digital art is taking on the legacy of pop art, adopting often joyful, sometimes repetitive shapes, colors and patterns, while drawing inspiration from the visual codes of mass distribution or everyday objects. But, like pop art, behind an apparent lightness, these works also question deeper issues, such as our relationship to overconsumption or the omnipresence of technologies in our lives.
Thus, pop art and digital art dialogue through the decades, helping us to reinvent our view of the contemporary world.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

In a world that keeps accelerating, these digital artworks follow a different rhythm — one of slowness, subtlety, and near-stillness. A trembling flower, a figure caught mid-levitation, a barely breathing landscape… Here, technology doesn’t amplify noise — it opens a quiet space, a suspended time.These contemplative pieces invite us to slow down, to reimagine motion, to find beauty in delicate transitions — blossoming, fading, hovering, gently turning. An aesthetic of slowness, reconnecting us with what truly 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.

Through their travels and encounters, photographers capture moments of life. With a glance, a movement, portraits come to life to leave us dreaming of the precise moment when the photograph was taken: what happened right before, and what will happen next? What is the destiny of these portraits depicted through the camera? The characters, immortalised in a static setting, abandon us to our own reflections. Entangled in introspection and questioning our senses, everything is left to the imagination. Images, sometimes digitally reworked, surprise and question every gaze; the photographer’s, like the model’s, merge and intertwine to depict deep emotions liberated by the ultimate gaze, that of the spectator.

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.

Afrofuturism is an artistic and cultural movement that reinvents the image of the future through the lens of history and black culture. Exploring themes such as identity, technology, race, social justice, and spirituality, Afrofuturism often challenges mainstream narratives and offers a counter-narrative that empowers black communities in futuristic settings. In Afrofuturist works, artists incorporate elements of African mythology and symbolism, as well as futuristic aesthetics and technology. They envision societies where African traditions and contributions are celebrated, using various media such as digital collage, 3D or AI. Those artists provide a space for envisioning possibilities beyond the constraints of the present and inspire discussions about representation, cultural heritage, and social change.

It’s undeniable: blockchain technology and NFTs have built, for the first time, a viable market for digital art, providing scarcity and value to digital artworks that are otherwise replicable. Associating digital art to NFTs has resulted in ‘Web3’, the next generation of the internet where what we consume online can not only be read and interacted with, but also owned in a decentralised fashion on the blockchain. Web3 has resulted in a unique subculture on the internet that values freedom, decentralisation and a close-knit community. However, NFTs and cryptocurrencies are also notorious for innumerable scams and pyramid schemes. Digital artists don’t shy away from these two extremities. In fact, in their work, they explore all the various and contradicting facets of Web3, using it as primary subject matter to envision promising futures for a more equitable internet and society on the one hand, or a dystopian futuristic work where greed has corruption reign on the other.

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.

(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.

Throughout history and across mediums, artists have employed light to enhance the emotional resonance and visual impact of their works. Sculptures rely on light and shadows to define and accentuate their form. Renaissance chiaroscuro sees painters exaggerating contrasts in light to convey emotion and drama. Light is even used as a symbol of divinity, be it through painted rays or the actual reflection of light on metallic surfaces.

The development of digital technologies has engendered a new relationship to light: when the opaque canvas is substituted for the lit-up screen, light becomes the very medium artists work with. No longer is it anchored to a physical source or limited by the laws of physics. The artists in this collection explore the seemingly endless possibilities of this new medium, creating innovative compositions that were inconceivable before the digital age.

This collection shifts the scale, drawing us closer and closer until we enter the domain of the minute. Here, insects — fragile, vibrant, elusive — become the central figures.

Artists explore them in multiple registers: sometimes faithfully observed, almost scientific, other times reimagined through animation, abstraction, or fantasy. Beetles, butterflies, ants or dragonflies appear magnified, revealing structures, colors, and movements that usually escape the human eye.

By reducing the scale, these artworks invite us into a parallel universe where the tiny becomes monumental. Between fascination and strangeness, these insect-inspired visions remind us of the hidden beauty, complexity, and mystery contained in the smallest forms of life.

What does music look like? Although many artists throughout the history of art have drawn directly from this intangible creative expression to create their works, capturing the sentimental and rhythmic notions of music is a challenge. Digital art offers a unique opportunity to rectify this dilemma, as artists incorporate the sound waves and decibels of music directly into the code they use to create generative artworks. Elsewhere, artists are taking the creative spirit of music and rendering it directly into figurative works, conveying the emotional magic that music can create.
