#34 Special: Uncover Our Easter Gems in Digital Art
👋 🌷 🐇 Dive straight into our Easter Special, where we've handpicked an exciting mix of 5 digital artists just for you.
Yatreda ያጥሬዳ
Yatreda ያጥሬዳ is a family of artists from Ethiopia creating in the style of tizita- nostalgia and longing for the past. Led by Kiya Tadele, the group creates artwork that balances the new, like blockchain technology, with the old, preserving classic works of historical and cultural significance. This blend suggests the timeline of African history doesn’t simply end, and the stories are not finished. Yatreda is about rediscovering Africa’s original self.
Grant Yun
Grant Riven Yun, a self-taught digital artist, is crafting unique compositions inspired by 20th-century art and video game aesthetics. Embracing a "Neo-Precisionist" identity, Yun's work merges modernism with digital culture, exploring themes of human impact and modernization with a minimalist approach. His significant venture into the digital art space, marked by success at Sotheby's, positions him as an influential figure in the digital art community.
Paul Prudence
Paul Prudence is an artist known for blending sound, space, and form into immersive live-cinema experiences using computational techniques. His work, celebrated internationally, features complex geometric visuals synchronized with electroacoustic sound, offering a unique multisensory exploration.
Botto
Botto, created by artist Mario Klingemann, is an innovative AI project blending technology, art, and community engagement to redefine artistic creation. Unlike simple AI art tools, Botto evolves through learning from weekly community votes on its artworks, which are then minted as NFTs.
Klingemann's vision extends beyond just generating art; he sees Botto as an exploration in the possibility space of creativity, challenging the conventional boundaries of artistry. The project involves a DAO for community input, making Botto not just a tool but a participatory experiment in the journey toward artistic singularity.
Nicolas Sassoon
Nicolas Sassoon, a Franco-Canadian artist, is renowned for his innovative use of early computer imaging techniques to create distinct visual languages that blur the lines between digital and physical realms. His art, deeply rooted in pixelated aesthetics and digital animations, reflects on the digital condition and our relationship with the material world.
Sassoon's collaborative endeavors further explore the interactions between technology, natural forces, and ecological futures. Through his pioneering approach, he has made significant contributions to contemporary art, challenging traditional perceptions of digital and physical space.
