The way that digital artists work with and develop the ongoing artistic tradition of abstraction is fascinating. In recent months, there has been an emergence of movements within the digital art sphere itself, such as Generative Abstraction, that highlights abstract works made with code. Whilst many of the artists included in this collection are generative artists, this selection also presents uses of 3D software and even photography as various means and media through which artists push the boundary of what abstractionism in the new digital age of art history looks like.

In this collection, artists draw inspiration from the aesthetics and symbols of Japan to create visions that are at once poetic and contemporary. From the fleeting bloom of sakura to the majesty of Mount Fuji, from the timeless grace of geishas to the elegance of kimonos, each piece reinvents Japan’s landscapes and traditions. Temples glow with light, Kyoto’s backstreets become dreamlike scenes, and even sushi takes on the role of a graphic motif. Using digital tools such as Artificial Intelligence, 3D, and collage, these works capture the essence of Japan while taking it beyond reality.

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.

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.

City Night Pulse immerses you in the vibrant rhythm of the city when the sun sets and the streets awaken under artificial lights. In this collection, artists capture the atmosphere of urban environments, where movement, light, shadow intertwine and form an intimate portrait of the night. The urban environment isn't just a backdrop, it's a living, moving entity that can be equally enigmatic, peaceful, nostalgic or even energizing. Embark on a visual journey through the city and discover the hidden beauty of a world that thrives in obscurity.

This collection brings together artworks that explore how birds, symbols of freedom, communication, and fragility, are reimagined in the digital age. From colorful and lifelike renderings of plumage to abstract interpretations of flight, the collection highlights how technology reshapes our perception of nature’s most dynamic creatures.

Birds have long captured the human imagination as symbols of freedom, movement, and the boundless urge to explore new horizons. In this spirit, Digital Aviary extends that legacy into the present, where digital artists use technology to reimagine these living creatures.

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 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.

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.

In this fast-paced collection, artists embark on a vibrant exploration of the intersection between the dynamics of human movement and the magic of the digital. Sport not only nourishes our physical well-being, but also plays a crucial role in our mental health, pushing us to express ourselves through our bodies, redoubling our efforts and perseverance. Sport is omnipresent in our lives, whether it is a personal practice or a collective culture. It is therefore not surprising that artists take hold of this subject, capturing the spirit of sport through their creations. As a true vector of emotion, sport brings us together through major events and tournaments, inspiring us to unity in competition. Each artist uses the power of the digital to represent the spirit of sport in their own way in creations and breathe life into the digital.

(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.

The immersive and emotional quality of digital art, coupled with its ability to depict visions of the world that cannot be experienced in reality, is already a form of escape for many viewers. Through the lens of travel, artists can create scenarios and worlds that allow viewers to escape the everyday and immerse themselves in a new adventure.

Today, we see more discussion and awareness around mental health, which is a positive advancement in our society. Often seen as an easy fix, mental health problems are actually complex, and can be difficult to understand and overcome. They cloud our heads, making us unable to see life clearly. We lose our objectivity and our judgement is tainted with thoughts and worries. Artists materialize what mental health problems can feel like through their visual experiences, in order to raise awareness and remind us how important it is to be mindful and to get help when necessary.

It has become more and more obvious that our planet has an expiration date. The only solution is for people to come together and change the way they live and treat their environement. Waste management and upcycling is no longer a choice but a necessity. Through the use of digital tools, artists create environments that move us and speak to our emotions in order to build a sense of urgency. Their artworks show us either what our world would look like if we don't do anything or they imagine places where nature is magnified because we took care of it. These artworks invite us to take immediate measures to solve environmental issues before it is too late. The clock is ticking and artists are here to remind us of this fact.

This collection, “Reinventing Painting”, is a two-way street. On the one hand, it focuses on the ways in which digital art rethinks the very medium of painting, its tools, brushes, pigments, providing them with properties that are impossible in the real world: watercolors ripple, become three-dimensional, brushstrokes come alive and dance…

But these tools also question, transform and reinvent the heritage of the history of painting. Far from being disconnected from it, digital art questions and draws inspiration from its past, as art has done since Antiquity. Within this collection, the Mona Lisa smiles, Van Gogh’s clouds spiral and Friedrich's Wanderer transports himself into a futuristic city, while Benjamin Bardou attempts to reveal the infinite possibilities contained in the painting “through touches” of the late 19th century.

This radiant collection celebrates the magical thresholds of sunrise and sunset — moments suspended between day and night. Artists across centuries have been drawn to this in-between, where light shifts, shadows stretch, and time feels fluid. Today, digital creators reinterpret this timeless theme using tools like 3D, AI, and collage to explore its cyclical beauty. Sunrise brings renewal. Sunset invites reflection. Together, they form a poetic loop — a gentle reminder of nature’s rhythm. Will you follow the light?

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.

Fashion depicts a lifestyle that is desirable, enviable, chic and experimental. By capturing these themes through their practices, artists explore how fashion trends influence our culture and social relationships. As our society becomes increasingly digital, artists also explore and envision what fashion might one day look like in the metaverse.

Living beings, real and dreamed of, are an inexhaustible source of inspiration that numeric tools are renewing. Digital artists blur the boundaries between the animal, the plant and the human, between reality and fantasy, while feeding on various inspirations such as mythology, video games, life sciences and science-fiction. Supernatural creatures, mystical monsters, fantastic animal and strange plants roam around this collection and ultimately confront us to our most humane questions : the fear of what’s different, the definition of beauty, the cycle of life and the passage of time.

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.

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.

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.

Before the virtual became supreme, the mechanical reigned. Once the ultimate symbol of modernity, mechanics embodied the hopes of the industrial age: precision, control, and mastery over matter. It marked a first break from our natural selves — fully removed from the fluid, imprecise, and unpredictable rhythms of the organic. But today, in a dematerialized era where algorithms shape reality and where everything leans toward the intangible and the virtual, the mechanical feels almost retrofuturistic. It is no longer the future — but it doesn’t quite belong to the past either.

Mechanics now occupies a strange in-between: alien to the digital, detached from the organic. Neither alive nor immaterial, it forms a visual universe entirely its own — cold, physical, and exact. And it is precisely this otherness, this detachment from both nature and code, that draws contemporary artists back to it. In this collection, they explore and reinvent the aesthetic language of loops, gears, and relentless motion. What happens to the machine once its industrial, innovative function fades — when it no longer drives progress, but instead becomes an object of contemplation?

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.

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.

Armed with their camera, photographers set off to meet the possibilities, at the crossroads between naturally beautiful landscapes and imaginary terrains. Capturing landscapes in the same way that painters use their canvas to fix powerful but fleeting images, photographers direct our eyes to reimagine reality. Exploring the infinite possibilities of the digital, some artists rework colours and images to reinvent landscapes. Others call out for our imagination to see our very own landscapes in colourful compositions, capturing the movements of paintings and fluids, with a concern for detail that could sometimes challenge our senses.

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.

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.
