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.

"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."

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.

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.

Road Trip invites you to experience the adventure of road travel - where engines purr and every kilometer reveals a new discovery. This collection captures the essence of movement, freedom and adventure in dynamic visuals. Here, artists explore both structured urban cartography and the spontaneous impulse to escape. It's a celebration of the road, not as a simple journey, but as a state of mind, an aesthetic, a narrative in motion. Immerse yourself in a world where pleasure rhymes with freedom, and let the journey redefine the destination.

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.

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…

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.

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.

Taking the theme of urban or metropolitan life allows artists to question the position of our humanity in an increasingly technological and interconnected society. Some artists treat memory and nostalgia as key emotions in their approach, while others imagine space-time distortions, parallel universes or dystopian realms. The metropole is a playground of inspiration, where a myriad of human interactions and daily life intertwine directly with the fabric of urban city planning and architectural studies. In the context of this ultramodern socio-geographical backdrop, themes such as a sense of individuality, collective memory, and community are also raised. By interpreting these topics in their own styles and techniques, artists present their perspective of urban living in a deeply personal way, but one that can be sensed and shared by all city-dwellers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

That time of year when yellow leaves, or few, or none at all, hang delicately on branches, painting the world in the warm hues of a sunset. These fleeting moments of autumn touch our hearts with their beauty and quiet reflection. The artists in this collection share a deep connection to this season, finding inspiration in the vibrant shades of orange, the gentle descent of falling leaves, and the bittersweet nostalgia that comes as summer fades. As nature embraces the art of metamorphosis this season, Echoes of Fall gently leads us to reflect on the quiet passage of time. Between what slips away and what awaits, it invites us to refresh our perspective, seeing each change as a call to renew and rediscover.

At the beginning of September, the air slowly becomes cooler and the cities start to come alive again with those quietly returning from vacation. It's back to school. And yet, many of us want to hang on to the last vestiges of summer, the soothing ripples of the sea air, the warm breath of a tropical breeze, a cocktail in hand. With this selection of digital artworks, the viewer can be swept away into an eternal summer, reliving their best memories of a time when there was no need to worry.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

In this selection of works, artists show us the future that awaits us if we don't do anything to stop the climate change. Droughts, fires, floods, melting ice caps....these artworks are here to remind us that our actions have consequences and that we can't continue to live like we do. Employing digital tools, artists are able to immerse us in visions that are actually not far from a probable future. With their unlimited imagination, they teach us to take care of our environment and to look after what surround us, in order for our planet to thrive for many generations to come.

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.

Explore the depths of the forest in this lush collection of artworks. Through differing techniques, our artists play with perspective, depth, and even imagine surreal renditions of what a forest is in this collection of works. The forest, often enigmatic and a site for folklore, is here given an additional layer of magic or mystery through digital tools such as Artificial Intelligence, 3D, AR and collage. Do you dare enter the depths of the woods?

Mathematics structure the world around us, and art is no exception. Behind every form and visual balance lie the same laws that govern nature, architecture, and living systems. Symmetry, kaleidoscopy, fractals, cubes, and the application of mathematical theorems form the foundation of this collection. Far from opposing artistic creation, mathematical rigor becomes a tool and a framework for imagination to take form.

This collection brings together works that draw on algorithmic languages to generate powerful visual compositions that are rigorous and sometimes even hypnotic. Through repetition, precise balances, and infinite variations, the artists transform mathematical rules into sensory experiences, where logic becomes aesthetic material.
