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.

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.

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.

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.

Women are a notorious minority in the digital art and technology sector. Yet the unique vision that women can present of the world through their artistic practice offers a diversity and nuance of perception essential to the development of this medium. Whether through code, 3D modeling, video capture, or collage, women are questioning what it means to identify as a woman in the digital age, challenging the female body as a site of politics and social stereotypes, or simply saying: we are here and what we create matters.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The question of the cohabitation between humanity, nature and technology in the present and future era is a subject that many digital artists address in their practice. As our lives become increasingly digital, the question of the human impact of these developments on the environment, the migration to a digital rather than a natural world, or the imagining of alternative universes where the world is in a utopian state of harmony between nature and its inhabitants becomes the central topic for many artists.

The celebration of diversity—be it ethnic, cultural, identity-based, or related to physical and mental abilities—is increasingly recognized and highlighted in the media. This concept inspires artists to present new, original, and creative imagery while conveying a powerful message: our differences are beautiful and they unite us.

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 sky is no longer just a backdrop — it’s a playground, a vantage point, a destination. In this collection, artists explore the aerial element in all its forms — drifting clouds, soaring paper planes, surreal levitations, or dreamlike scenes unfolding far above the ground. Sometimes contemplative, sometimes playful, these artworks give the sky a new kind of movement and meaning. We gaze at it, follow it, dream through it. What if everything began… up there?

This collection unveils the enchanting world of butterflies, messengers of light and transformation. Through these artworks, their delicate wings become prisms where sunlight shatters into iridescent reflections, capturing the ephemeral and the sublime. Each piece reveals the quiet beauty of these creatures: their vibrant colors evoke the resilience of a nature in constant motion.

Butterflies become guides, gliding through dreamlike forests and imaginary gardens. They embody the duality of nature: fragile and untamable, intimate and majestic. This collection is an ode to metamorphosis, a celebration of the beauty born from the fleeting encounter between earth and sky.

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.

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. Whether they use AI to create poems or illustrate them using various digital techniques, artists leave room for their imagination to enrich their creative process by aligning it with the mindset of their time. 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.

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.

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.

The vigor of youth is characterized by an insatiable curiosity, an unyielding spirit, and an unwavering passion for exploration. Young souls pulsate toward boundless possibilities The dynamic nature of youth manifests in the eagerness to embrace challenges, the resilience to bounce back from setbacks, and the relentless drive to carve out unique paths in the world. It is a time of exuberance where enthusiasm knows no bounds. Youth, in its essence, is a dynamic force, a kaleidoscope of vibrant aspirations, and a testament to the ceaseless vitality that defines the journey of growth and self-discovery.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

The Tom Wesselmann exhibition presented in winter 2024-2025 at the Fondation Louis Vuitton celebrates pop art, the emblematic movement of the 1960s inseparable from American visual culture. Rejecting traditional art conventions, pop art has redefined the boundaries of creation by making art inseparable from everyday life, integrating industrial techniques, prefabricated materials and mass-market objects. Through figures like Andy Warhol and his Campbell’s Soups or Roy Lichtenstein and his vibrant color comics, this artistic movement has questioned the status of the work of art while capturing the spirit of its time.
This matter of the nature of the work of art remains central today, especially through digital art, which pushes the limits of creative processes thanks to new technologies. So it’s no surprise that digital art is taking on the legacy of pop art, adopting often joyful, sometimes repetitive shapes, colors and patterns, while drawing inspiration from the visual codes of mass distribution or everyday objects. But, like pop art, behind an apparent lightness, these works also question deeper issues, such as our relationship to overconsumption or the omnipresence of technologies in our lives.
Thus, pop art and digital art dialogue through the decades, helping us to reinvent our view of the contemporary world.

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.

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.
