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.

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.

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.

The miracle of science unfolds as a testament to human curiosity, ingenuity, and perseverance. Through the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, scientists unravel the intricate workings of nature. From the study of the microscopic realms of subatomic particles, science allows breakthroughs in medicine, technology, and countless other fields that have revolutionized the way we live, fostering progress and improving the quality of life. Artists presented in this collection pay tribute to these discoveries that have been made thanks to the collaborative spirit that drives scientific inquiry, transcending borders and cultures for the betterment of all. Through their use of new technologies and digital tools, artists show us that the boundaries of what is possible continue to expand everyday.

This collection brings together two everyday companions: tea and coffee.The artists capture the warmth of a cup in the hands, a gesture that comforts both body and mind. They reflect on the boost of energy that helps us through fatigue, as well as the calm found in a quiet moment with an infusion. Between shared rituals and solitary pauses, these works show how tea and coffee are part of daily life.

From breakfast at home to friendly gatherings, tea and coffee connect people across cultures and generations. They turn simple habits into moments of comfort, energy, and connection.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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, “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.

Have you ever wanted to attend a party with a penguin or be showered with a thousand rainbow-coloured hearts and stars? Inspired by pop art, street art, bright colors and the celebration of life, these works are a breath of fresh air and a moment of joy in our daily lives. These works can be enjoyed on a particular day - a birthday, an anniversary, the start of a new year - but can also be enjoyed daily as an encouragement to see the positivity and playfulness in life.

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.

In these works, artists warp and transform the human body using various techniques and technologies. The result is a strange and fun visual output that speaks to our positioning and perspective in the world. Some artists approach the subject of the human body with humour and whimsy - pushing the body to its limits with the freedom that comes with digital art. Others address topics such as the female body and representation of women in art and technology, or our body's interactions - and even fusion - with technology today.

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.

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.

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 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.

(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.

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.

"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."

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.

Primary Colours is a collection that draws inspiration from the foundational palette of blue, yellow, and red, offering a fresh take on modernist aesthetic. Many world-renowned artists like Piet Mondrian, Yves Klein or Keith Haring have made this palette a universal visual reference, thus making this collection colorful, timeless, and playful. This collection features artworks combining all three primary colors, while others focus on just one or two, creating a dynamic and engaging visual language. From bold contrasts to subtle harmonies, Primary Colours explores the aesthetic resonance of these iconic hues.

Not surprisingly, the way the internet has changed our culture is a central topic for many digital artists. Some artists take a nostalgic approach to the early internet icons and symbols of the 1990s and early 2000s, while others are interested in the power of the blockchain and how it is shaping a new digital art market. This collection demonstrates the various methods and techniques through which artists explore internet culture. Through art made with code, by exploring the glitch, in making references to the blockchain or through exploring how our lives and bodies are increasingly entwined with technology, these works go back to the essence of the influence - good or bad - of the internet on our lives today.

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 delves into a swinging topic: dancing, a timeless art form that transcends boundaries and takes us on a journey beyond ourselves. Through the ingenious fusion of dance, music and technology, digital artists create mesmerising visual effects that defy the limitations of the human body. From glitch art to interactive visuals, they explore the boundless potential of new technologies, amplifying the emotions evoked by human movement. Experimenting with colours and textures, artists allow algorithms to become co-choreographers, blurring the lines between physicality and imagination. Let’s experience the power of dance through the lens of the digital era!

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.
