"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."

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…

All forms of art - whether painting, sculpture, photography or digital art - have the power to encourage a contemplative and meditative state of mind. The same is true of digital art, where some may find peace in the perfection of well-executed code, balance in symmetrical or geometric shapes, or refreshment in a bath of technicolor.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This collection highlights France’s cultural and architectural heritage, in resonance with the European Heritage Days. Artists, sculptures, gardens, and historic monuments become the anchors of works that reinterpret our shared memory.

Artists approach heritage in many forms: reimagined architecture, landscapes shaped by history, sculptural details, and even a culinary evocations. Each work carries within it the imprint of a craft, an era, or a place that contributes to French identity.

Through these visions, heritage becomes material for contemporary creation. It is not only about contemplating the relics of the past, but about revealing their presence today and their power to inspire the imagination of contemporary artists.

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.

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 the digital age, all media are being redesigned to embrace the perspectives of offered by new technologies. Visual artists and poets transform their creations using animated illustration, 3D and artificial intelligence.

These visionary artists explore the possibilities of trans-disciplinary practices, thus redefining the codes of poetic composition. In a fusion of poetic horizons and introspective meditations, discover how artists incorporate poetry into their 3.0 digital creations.
