Marco Brambilla is a media artist who explores themes of psychedelia and pop culture. His pioneering use of technology has led to partnerships with innovators across varying industries, notable collaborations include an interstellar installation with NASA and Kanye West’s music video, “Power”. He has exhibited extensively around the world and can be found in the permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum.

‘Partial Equilibrium’ is a digital readymade which appropriates, interrogates and recontextualizes the first American readymade: Jeff Koons’ ‘One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank’. Created in 1985, the work immortalized the Spaulding basketball, floating suspended in an aquarium, as a symbol of opportunity and prosperity. Brambilla’s ‘Partial Equilibrium’ confronts viewers with the dismantling of Koons’ art object and makes way for a new one. Known as a creature in both Norse and Greek mythology as a symbol of destruction, an Octopus appears to overtake the original structure entirely, disrupting the basketball’s delicate state of equilibrium within the aquarium.

Internationally exhibited landscape artist and envoy of nature. Rachael’s work documents real trees and locations. Her drawings weave reality with strings of fantasy, imagination and past memories.

This work was inspired by the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest of California’s Eastern Sierra. Some trees here are as old as the pyramids but are left unmarked, so it is left up to the imagination to wonder. This pillar of time clings to the side of a slope, growing slowly, battered and twisted by its extreme conditions. Artwork by Rachael Pease. Music by David Voyzey.

Behold! Behold! This is the Land of Yore! A place and time for joy and laughter, where no one is nobody’s master. The broken Land of Dreams Aplenty when foes were none and friends were many. Long before the Old War started, magic was by people guarded. Long before the first was bitten, laws of land were still unwritten. Trees and streams were wise and awesome, and giant’s sharts meant life and blossom. But then They came and all was ruined: the selfish ones with their tongues so fluent: “You shall not bite! Only I can chew! My body will never return to you! Now give me, give me, and don’t ask back, you are a beast therefore you lack: you lack my brains and my altura, for your condition there is no cura”. Behold! Behold! The peace we used to live in! Now only pieces do remain, of this land with no domain. Waters red from pain and sorrow: that I’ll tell you all tomorrow.

Artist and filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson (b.1941) is one of the most influential media artists. She is widely recognized for her work investigating key issues including the relationship between humans and technology, identity, surveillance, and the use of media as a tool of empowerment against censorship. Leeson’s works are public collections around the world including the MoMA, LACMA, ZKM, SFMOMA and Tate Modern. Her first solo museum show in NYC opens June 30 at the New Museum.

The full title of the work is ‘The Redeeming Gift of Humanity is that Each Generation Recreates Itself’. Tilda Swinton, playing Ada Lovelace in Lynn Hershman Leeson’s film Conceiving Ada, 1995, predicts on her deathbed that humans would recreate themselves in the future. Ada Lovelace was a mathematician who wrote the very first computer program in the nineteenth century. Although the film was made nearly 30 years ago, what she says is crucial to the idea of NFTs. Each generation does recreate itself, one way or another. This one has seen AI and NFTs (and DNA) become a new language for storage and communication.

If machines could think, what would they think of plants? Would they see them as inanimate objects or as living beings? ‘Heartbeats of a Flower’ is imagined as the perception of plants through the eyes of a machine. It was created using a neural network that was encouraged to generate vibrant images of plants. The images were brought to life by the artist’s creative use of algorithms.

”The reflection of a young android in the mirror reveals her secret to the viewer. Which side to take and which of the two identities to adopt, we are not the ones to decide. The artist does not judge her work, but lets it breathe and grow in its own world, observing it as a scientist from the outside, waiting with silent anticipation for the reaction that her creation will trigger over time.” Dystopian Visions Curated NFT collection by Serena Tabacchi (MoCDA) Auctioned by CAMBI + SuperRare

Award winning CG Artist from Naples currently working in Amsterdam

An apocalyptic scenario manifests itself in front of the viewer of a slender figure at the center of the scene in the work of Nicola Scognamiglio. A pulsating light connects the man to an uninhabited skyscraper that can be glimpsed at in the distance, as if to recall redundant forms of life that are now extinct. Reality and illusion are confused, as if the difference between our virtual alter ego and the materiality of the surrounding degradation had never existed. ///Dystopian Visions Curated NFT collection by Serena Tabacchi (MoCDA) Auctioned by CAMBI + SuperRare

A golden frame captures the evolution of artistic expression according to the vision of the artist Luca Viola. The work expands, moving towards the viewer. The textures of the canvas come alive, revealing a network of invisible connections between the dynamic and static realms, like an ancient artifact that is tinged with new life. Una cornice dorata racchiude l’evoluzione dell’espressione artistica secondo la visione dell’artista Luca Viola. L’opera si espande, andando verso chi la osserva. Le trame della tela si animano, rivelando una rete di connessioni invisibili tra dinamismo e staticità, come un artefatto antico che si tinge di nuova vita.

What kind of existence would we live if we knew that the world was created by an artificial entity? In Dentico’s work one can see tiny well-dressed men plunging into the void. Their wake traces a dull sound in the surrounding environment, making its strings vibrate, as in a childhood dream that the author recreates with profound, at times devastating, serenity.

‘Our Peaceful Blue Orientalis’ (Onze Vredige Blauwe Orientalis) is one of three pieces from Claire Droppert and CP Collectives’ genesis NFT collection, ‘GRAVITY FLOWER POWER’. This exciting release marks the third and final original artwork that compels the viewer to reflect on the power and beauty of nature while celebrating Dutch national heritage. The third and final artwork in this series is again a composition of images that were captured in the west region of the Netherlands, an incredible location for discovering bold and beautiful flowers. For Dutch people, Blue, the colour of Dutch Orientalis Hyacinths, has a strong symbolic association to physical beauty like the sky and the sea to emotions like trust and freedom. This flower completes the trilogy of works by representing the final colour on the Dutch national flag. Blue Orientalis Hyacinths are symbolic of sorrow, forgiveness, and spirituality. Therefore, this final work encourages viewers to reflect on the beauty of life around them and to have gratitude for everything that friends, family, and their ancestors have done for them.

The surface of the digital landscape establishes its own rules in relation to the observer: it hides the equilibrium between the artificial intelligence and
those who try to immerse themselves in it. This is the case of Videotapestry, a virtuous tapestry woven into the ether that invites the viewers to reconcile with the vastness that dominates it, inviting them to meditate and connect with the unknown.
