About the artist duo:
Hypereikon, the duo of María Constanza Lobos and Sebastián Rojas, explores the blurred boundaries between the organic and the digital in the posthuman era. Their practice ranges from generative audiovisual landscapes to speculative archaeologies, questioning narratives about technology and nature. Conceiving AI as an "imaginati prosthesis," they navigate latent spaces of artificial cognition, transforming digital residues into artistic raw material. Hypereikon creates works that function as excavations of the present, revealing hidden dimensions of our hyperconnected reality. They explore digital materiality, non-linear temporality, and distributed agency, intertwining the human, the machinic, and the ecological in surprising configurations that challenge anthropocentric imagination.

3. ‘UNDER THE SKIN’ by antnartist
Minted Feb 13, 2024
Edition of 8
About the artist:
ANTN is a Russian born visual artist residing in Canada. His practice is rooted in digital aesthetics, 3D printing and conventional oil painting. ANTN’s visual language is rooted in the expression of digital aesthetics: human subjects devoid of emotions, stripped of human traits down to their primal states that are living in sterile, empty environments of digital spaces. His work is inspired by studies in Speculative Realism and Object Oriented Ontology. Below: an extract from his manifesto about digital aesthetics: “Digital aesthetics are derived from the nature of 3d software: objects intersect, can be rotated and scaled with disregard to laws of physics, weight and gravity. Lighting and materials can be applied with no accountability. Sterility and repetition of the environment is a default state.”

4. ‘The last tree’ by Mihai Grecu, a drop in collaboration with Galerie Data
"A series of visual metaphors on the artificial nature of man-made latent spaces. In-between land art and science fiction infused dreamscapes, I collaborate with the AI to bring into existence visions of monumental installations in the heart of the synthetic desert . These are metaphors on the interconnectivity of all things: vegetation, cloud-like fluidity of matter, levitating geology, artificial space. Nature is synthetic and rendered through the language of the computing machines.. The infinite matrix of AIs permutational possibilities is the source of these dreamscapes, they come from the "soul of the machine". These landscapes stand as a testament to the intersection of nature and technology."

About the artist:
Mihai Grecu was born in Romania in 1981. After studying art and design in Romania and France, he has been pursuing his artistic research at the Fresnoy Studio of Contemporary Arts. Recurring topics such as environmental crisis, political allegories, new technologies and catastrophes articulate the whole of his exploration of mysterious and subconscious beginnings. These visual and poetic trips mix several techniques and may be seen as propositions for a new dream oriented technology. His work has been shown and awarded in numerous film festivals (Tribeca, Locarno, Rotterdam, Festival of New Cinema in Montreal) and exhibitions (“Dans la nuit, des images” at the Grand Palais, “Labyrinth of my mind” at the Cube, “Video Short list: the Dream Machine” at the Passage du Retz, “Studio” at “Les Filles du Calvaire” Gallery).

5. ‘‘Symbiosis’ by A. L. Crego
A constant cosmic dance through times allows nature to create one form of it that, maybe, can evolve, or can destroy itself. 3d design, video edition. mp4 / 2160 × 3840 / 16 seconds Created for 'Ilusiones Arbóreas' exhibition, NFT Show Valencia, Spain.

About the artist:
Crego is a photographer and street art gif pioneer who has been aware of NFTs since the early days and uses them as a tool to explore new artistic concepts and create creative spaces.
His artistic path began with street photography and a deep passion for literature, where he first noticed the link between words and images. As he continued working with photography and video, Crego became drawn to gifs, seeing them as a medium that combines the strengths of both forms to create something distinct.
Frustrated by the often trivial and humorous gifs found online, Crego sought to redefine this digital format as a serious art form. The seamless looping in his gifs not only captures people’s attention but also evokes a meditative experience.

16. ‘Red duplication’ by Simulacro
In the depths of our forest, a figure makes itself present, holding a cluster of red balloons. They glow ethereal, like a lantern guiding the way or a firefly lost between the trees. By multiplying the red light, it loses its guiding purpose, and fully becomes a dialogue between the lived experience and the manipulated. Even though the multiplication is evidently done digitally, it doesn’t yet explain why it’s able to affect the real trees by illuminating them, until the scene unfolds: the forest is duplicated. A geometric shape punctures the video as the soundscape envelopes the spectator. Even as this artificiality is exposed, the piece goes back to the initial gesture—floating, multiplying, and filling the space with their presence. For a familiar and otherworldly experience with the piece, we encourage you to listen to this piece with headphones and eyes closed.

About the artist collective:
”We are a collective of emerging visual artists originating from the north of Argentina. Our artistic work ranges from the craft of photography to the expression of performative acts. Through these varied mediums, we articulate our narratives and delve into the depths of our cultural heritage. While rooted in our local context, we aspire to transcend geographical boundaries and share our insights with a global audience.” “We are fascinated by the intersection of the simulation and the real. Through their works in visual arts, they craft intricate images that seem to hover on the verge of presence and disappearance. By manipulating images and playing with the concept of world building, we create fantastical landscapes that delve into the depths of human imagination. The pieces invite the audience to question what is real and what is merely a construct. Through this exploration of the simulacrum, Simulacro is an invitation to step out of our mundane existence and venture into a realm of fantasy and possibility. Our art is a reflection of the desire to escape and create our own virtual worlds, and serves as a reminder that sometimes, reality is just a matter of perception. We have decided to work as a collective because we value horizontal collaboration between equals. All works belong to everyone in the collective, there are no individuals. Only Simulacro.”

21. 'kisses under the green moon' by Stella Particula
About the artist:
Stella Particula - "Star Dust" in latin - is an art director, director and animator based in France. His work explores the landscapes of duality : emotions - insensitivity, consciousness - unconsciousness, materiality - the intangible. Through the use of 3D animation, analog glitches, sound and music, he bridges the frontiers between past and new technologies.
“My project, Stella Particula, began with my experience of depression. I avoided its hard reality by creating new visions through which I would travel. In my work, the human body represents a feeling or state of mind drawn from the past, present, or future. But in every image there is a sparkle of hope and light — a projection of survival instinct that guides someone to expect a better future. So yes, I think I’m crafting posthumans: humans that are a projection of the future through their present or past state.” Extract from “BOUNDLESS BODIES AND NFTS”, an interview by with Katherine Howatson-Tout published in Right Click Save on March 20, 2023.

22. 'Longing for Neringa' by Ivona Tau
About the artist:
Ivona Tau’s work is driven by the “metaphysical act of imagination” – worlds to get lost in. Aged 18, she became fascinated by photography as a way to observe the world and capture her changing surroundings. Tau started with her grandfather’s eighties Lomo LC-A lomography camera, allowing her to play with colour and texture, already going down the path of abstraction and the surreal. Growing up in Vilnius, and studying Mathematics in Warsaw, she witnessed the cities’ shift from a post-Soviet world to a Western and capitalist one. Today, the combination of cityscapes as utopias and/or dystopias is at the centre of Tau’s practice.
Later in life, she decided to combine her mathematical and computer knowledge with her taste for painting and photography – this practice of assemblage of medium, or merging of forms, enables Tau to create with wonder as she navigates the possibilities of technology. Interested in combining her surroundings and personal history into a computer-generated visuality, works such as Synthetic Still Lives, made with AI, feature objects found in her flat. For Tau, AI “allows seeing the world in a different way, beyond traditional conceptions.” Using different kinds of AIs, she trains her own models, turning them into personal tools – as individual as a painter’s stroke. Tau creates and breaks her compositions, playing with what the most recent technology has to offer to art making. This also enables her to revisit her own photographic archive – from her numerous meditative walks in the cities she lives in, such as in her series Blue Hours, 2020 – 2021, which explores the notions of solitude and absence in urban environments. Tau’s visual language blends futuristic aesthetics and cyber-punk culture. Oscillating between the hyper-realistic and the hyper-surrealist, the viewer becomes transfixed by the composition.
Illusion and fantasy are also key sources of inspiration for the artist, such as in the work of Man Ray (1890 – 1976) and Dora Maar (1907 – 1977), through to the contemporary experimental photography of Max Passadore, the cinema of David Lynch (b. 1946), and the colours of William Eggleston (b. 1939) and David LaChapelle (b. 1963). In darkrooms, Tau continues to experiment with her practice, using photography to shape new realities. More recently, Tau started to combine AI with long-form generative art – art that involves a coded random process – enabling the viewer to become a participant, creating their own model output. Interested in interactiveness, Tau aspires to create more immersive pieces. A mixed-media artist or coder artist, technology enables Tau to explore ideas of memory and imagination.

About the artist:
Marcel Giannoccaro, known as Strano, is a Montreal-based multidisciplinary artist specializing in 3D animation using light as a medium. He employs chiaroscuro and primitive shapes to explore the technological landscape, often infusing his work with spirituality and melancholy. Strano, who studied Visual Arts and briefly pursued industrial design, now co-directs a video production company while creating digital art.
His work has been exhibited globally, including at the Larsen Warner Gallery in Stockholm, and auctioned at Sotheby’s Metaverse. Strano also hosts art events at his studio, such as RGBMTL and Full Screen Fridays.
Strano draws inspiration from a wide range of disciplines, including architecture, photography, cinema, and sculpture. His creations, whether physical or virtual, static or animated, are characterized by a monochrome aesthetic, play of contrasts and lights, as well as the use of mise-en-abîme, patterns, and imperceptible loops.
“The essence of my artistic practice lies in developing a visual language that invites reflection and contemplation through enigmatic, dream-like animations. Between futuristic and ancestral, utopian and dystopian, organic and artificial; I aim to share a portion of my life experiences tainted by my fears on what’s yet to come.”

25. ‘Daily Narratives’ by Saeko Ehara
This artwork is inspired by the exhibition theme "dialog." It captures everyday scenes with a smartphone, reimagines them as videos using Stable Diffusion (AI), and animates them generatively with TouchDesigner (node-based software for visual coding). The concept of this artwork emerged from conversations with ChatGPT. My starting point as an artist is painting, and I researched with ChatGPT how historical masters incorporated dialogue into their works. This led me to deeply resonate with the approach of Vilhelm Hammershøi, a painter born in 1864, who repeatedly depicted the Copenhagen apartment where he lived from 1898 to 1909. For me, home is also a place where I spend most of my day and engage in many dialogues while facing my work. The AI-regenerated videos transform, reflecting my daily life while evolving into "someone's" daily life. This work records the unpredictability of daily life, where changes occur independently of personal intention. Daily life is the closest generative experience for me, with subtle daily changes resembling irregular patterns generated by random seeds.

About the artist:
“My work revolves around the use of emergent and obsolete technology, which allows me to create a unique and magical aesthetic. By merging tech from different eras, I'm able to create a visual language that speaks to the alchemic nature of joining hardware and software. My practice draws inspiration from landscape painters, Romantic poetry, and the wisdom and peace found in nature. However, it also has a speculative and science fiction undertone that contains allusions and easter eggs while also offering new worlds for the viewer to enter. This fusion of past and future, science and art, creates a kind of techno-romance that is both otherworldly and grounded in reality. Using video feedback and virtual reality, my work creates a living painting that invites the viewer to either step inside it or view it from a distance.”

30. ‘Brave New World’ by Tan-Tan
Deconstructing the Pieta into a Crime Scene: The historical narrative of Pietas demonstrates absurd tranquilly and acceptance in the face of absolute horror and devastation. While working with similar emblematic imagery, this piece introduces itself as a "cry for action" rather than passivity and complacency, it reconstructs the response to abuse. The observer is judged, confronted, and invited to participate in the spectacle as an active agent, changing the role of the spectator in an effort to emancipate them. It aims to reinvent classic motifs by injecting newly assimilated symbolic and idealistic imagery into the formerly sacred subjects, turning them into staged human calamities with distinct allegorical meaning that address more pressing contemporary social issues.
When viewed digitally, this theatrical portrayal of modern social tragedy, which serves as a coping mechanism for the very society that is experiencing trauma, becomes cross-pollinated and introduced to other cultures, acting as a catalyst for individuals globally. The unveiling of the narrative becomes cathartic, which explores the nature of human suffering aimed at psychologically separating the role of the artist, the audience, and the artwork.

About the artist:
"I'm an artist, animator, and music producer who's been honing my love for storytelling for over 20 years.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I immersed myself in Super Nintendo games and iconic Saturday morning cartoons. Those cherished memories became the seeds for my creative journey.
Going under the pseudonym, Retro Manni, I build inspiring and entertaining universes, rich with fantastical characters and storylines. All painted to the rhythm of pulsating, cinematic synthwave soundtracks.
Beneath the retro aesthetics, these stories are laden with ancient spiritual mysticism, bridging the old and the new in captivating narratives.
I'm not just an artist – I'm a creator of heroes for the age of new Earth. My work is a voyage through eras and dimensions, where 80s retro vibes meet the contemporary complexities of today's world."
