"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."

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.

This collection ventures into the heart of the night, where familiar landmarks fade and every light becomes a precious signal. Between urban, mental, and natural visions, the artists explore a world in chiaroscuro, where shadows shape space and reveal the unexpected. The sky — vast or fragmented — guides the gaze and converses with human lights. Shifts in scale, unusual perspectives, atmospheres both somber and open to possibility: here, the night becomes a realm of sensory and poetic exploration.

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.

This collection places the human at the centre — as subject, as question, as mirror. Despite the rise of new tools and technologies, artists continue to explore what it means to be human: to feel, to remember, to evolve. Through digital techniques such as 3D, AI, and collage, they examine our relationship to ourselves, to others, to history and to the systems we create. The human here is complex — both vulnerable and resilient, fragmented and whole. These works remind us that behind every creation, there is always a presence: thinking, sensing, searching. Who are we becoming?

In this selection of works, a variety of artists celebrate the beauty of nature through differing techniques. Some artists use photographic or videographic methods to capture the purity of nature as we experience it today. Others take this concept a bit further by morphing perspectives and challenging how we perceive nature. And yet others take our natural world as inspiration and create flora and fauna that could exist in our world, and yet are tinged with something of the surreal.

The still life, used throughout centuries in art history as a key genre, comes to life through the imagination and tools of digital artists. Through techniques such as 3D, video, mapping, slit scan, photogrammetry and more, this ubiquitous genre of art takes on a new meaning as the 'still life' is animated and rejuvenated through digital art. In these works, the viewer is able to look deeply at each object on display, take pleasure in the attention to detail of our artists, and allow the soothing scenes to beautify their day.

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.

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.

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.

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?

As the foundation of urban space, the street is a fertile breeding ground for a wide variety of artistic expressions. Historically, street culture is above all that of counter-cultures, revolts and marginalized movements. But talking about the street is also a way of speaking to everyone: even the most sedentary people have to get around by walking the streets. Encounters, exchanges or simple journeys: the street is the place of civilization, and therefore of Humanity par excellence.

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.

Truly sharing the pain of the victims of breast cancer is impossible. But the artworks of this collection remind us of the importance of awareness and support.

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.

Ah, love… can we still talk about it without repeating what the greatest authors in history wrote much better than us ? Yes, of course, because even though love might be the most universal experience of all, it’s also the most singular. Each love, each love story, each love language is unique - therefore the topic is boundless, and has steadfastly gone through art history since neolithic paintings. Nowadays, digital tools allow artists to reinvent it and rethink once again its modes of representation ; but they also allow them to question how the modern era, especially technology itself, has transformed our relationships…

Is gaming a sub-part of digital art? It is hard not to think so... Video games exist primarily in the digital realm, using the same tools, platforms, and technologies to create immersive experiences. Game designers and developers work together to craft worlds, characters, and experiences, much like filmmakers or painters would do. Video-games might even have a step ahead - they are, in essence, interactive.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Design has often had close ties with fine art. In digital art, where many artists first begin their careers as graphic or web designers, the link between the two seem closer than ever. In this collection, artists explore interior spaces in the context of design and fine art. Using AI, 3D technology, or even collage, each artist approaches interior design in a different way, whether it is constructing a hyper-realistic dream-like space, or interpreting an interior within the metaverse.

A popular quest that many 3D artists engage in is the search for the perfect loop. Often inspired by perfect mathematical sequences such as the golden ratio or the Fibonacci sequence, these artists create satisfying visuals that appeal to humanity's subconscious need to seek balance in the natural world. The result is a series of artworks that bring a moment of respite in a world where everything is crowded and hectic.
