“Painting is an early form of VR” Digital artist combining traditional painting mediums with 3D software.
Edition 1 of 1
In ‘Dreaming’ a gestural brushstroke floats free from the canvas. Brushes and paint strokes have been used for thousands of years to render and represent visions of reality in art. Here, the brushstroke, the means of representation, represents itself as a digital and sovereign being. The traditional linen canvas transforms from the organic ground of being, to backdrop and void for a new realm of liberated activity. “Real world, physically painted brushstrokes are the genesis of my largely digital, creative process. This work holds the sense of elegance, expansiveness and peace I hope to find and share with those who connect with my work.” A high resolution video file will be shared with the collector of this work.

Edition 1 of 1
OPN HEART is a motif and icon I’ve used in my work for years. It lives on walls, paintings, apparel, jewelry, vinyl toys, sculptures, a hot air balloon, a boat… and now it will live MINTED on the blockchain. For my first OPN HEART NFT, I chose to animate with a simple concept, and this relates to a question I am commonly asked, “how do you choose what colors to use?” So the motion here is a visualization of my response to that question… and the answer is, you don’t always have to choose just one color… you can use them all.

Edition 1 of 1
Nostalgia is a double-edged sword. It can increase meaning in life, however, it’s possible of being engrossed with the past, so much that one cannot stand the present, hiding behind a mask; a mask of perceived golden youth memories. Obsessed with a past that is long gone one could end up in a downfall spiral.

Edition 1 of 1
‘AMPHORA’ comes from a period of insouciance when travelling was still a thing. I was on a train trip across Europe when I stopped in Rome and visited the Capitolini Museums. There was so many old potteries with inspiring patterns, representations and styles. Back at home I made this artwork mixing my own references with the pictures I took there. This piece reminds me the joy of travelling. Created in After Effects, Procreate and Cinema 4d. 1080px × 1080px

My work is influenced by my current state of mind. Sometimes it can take me a while to process and understand what emotions I have captured in the artwork itself. During this process, I look back and reflect. This piece has a lot of emotional meaning to me and represents a bit of the stress I have been dealing with during the last couple of months. 4000x5000px.

Edition 1 of 1
The biggest influence on my work has had the Bauhaus school and I decided to pay tribute to it with my first NFT. The design itself is simple, almost minimalist. Hence I have also animated it simply, yet (I hope) appealing to one’s eye. Collector will receive the design on a physical canvas (30,5×30,5cm / 16x16inch). 30 sec | MP4 | 2000x2000px.

It is said that wearing luxuary brand means success of life and we can show off our power and higher social status. On the other hand, some people wear luxuary brand to hide our weakness or complex/feel inferior. Like us, sometimes gorilla wears luxury brands to show their social status / how much bananas do they have or attract attention from female gorillas. There are high-fashon gorillas and non high-fashion gorillas but I’m not sure of the correct answer. 3800x3800px, SR-001
Simon Denny
Berlin / New York
simondenny.net
Simon Denny (b. 1982 Auckland, New Zealand) lives and works in Berlin, Germany. He makes exhibitions that unpack the social and political implications of the technology industry and the rise of social media, startup culture, blockchains and cryptocurrencies, using a variety of media including installation, sculpture, print and video. In 2016 he co-founded the artist mentoring program BPA//Berlin Program for Artists and has served as Professor of Time-Based Media at HFBK Hamburg since 2018.
Edition 1 of 1
Simon Denny’s NFT Mine Offsets recast each minted NFT as an automated mining unit—a crypto miner—using second-hand Ethereum “mining” computers purchased by the artist from ebay.com (https://www.ebay.de/itm/254899062208), where these machines currently fetch anywhere between $3,000–$20,000. Denny has worked with a gaming illustrator to produce detailed 3D portraits of these miners to create new digital artworks. Following their images’ release as NFTs, Denny will retire the mining computers represented from the Ethereum network altogether. Instead of the hardware using the energy typically required to host the intangible collectibles of the NFT wave, the processing power from these machines’ GPUs (Graphical Processing Units) will be donated to environmental research via climateprediction.net, a not-for-profit climate modeling project overseen by scientists at the University of Oxford, using volunteer computing to study and predict climate change. The artist sees this material and market swap as a kind of offset in the NFT world, mirroring “carbon offsets” that many companies today are leveraging to redress the negative impacts of their business practices. The artwork is a poetic transformation between states—moving energy, matter, likeness, and attention from one network of value to another.

Edition 1 of 1
This work is my first ever mint. For this piece i took a smaller composition from one of my larger hand painted designs and rendered the image digitally. Inspired by the ancient meaning of birds in carpet imagery, which are said to be representative of fertility and new life. I chose to model and animate the birds evolving from 2d to 3d and wandering above and beyond the painting. Conceptually representative of this new chapter of further exploration in my artistic career. — Sound Design by Simon Oscroft

timemag
Edition 1 of 1
TIME Magazine, April 8th, 1966. Is _ Dead? is one of the most iconic cover designs in TIME’s 98-year history. Originally published on April 8, 1966, “Is God Dead?” was the first cover in the brand’s storied history to include only typography with no image and was designed for a story by TIME religion editor John Elson. As Elson wrote, “it is a question that tantalizes both believers, who perhaps secretly fear that he is, and atheists, who possibly suspect the answer is no.” The cover inspired countless angry sermons, 3,421 letters from readers and a lively debate at a time when 97% of Americans told pollsters they believed in God. This NFT is part of an exclusive series of three incredibly prescient TIME covers, including one of the most iconic covers in TIME’s 98-year history, and the first-ever cover designed exclusively as a NFT. The typography used on the 1966 cover was based on Bodoni Poster, designed by Chauncey H. Griffith in 1929. The bold contrasting strokes, strong verticality and easily recognizable serifs and ball terminals were perfectly suited for advertisements, posters and signs in the early 20th century. The typography on the two most recent covers needed to be hand drawn, as we could find no modern type foundry which has an exact interpretation of the one used on the original cover.
yebutonu
Edition 1 of 1
A composition that began out of a process of first asking: what did Orpheus see when he turned around? From the cycle of life between two legs in a birthing position, to a woman’s head as a house releasing a stream into a river – Orphic Phantasm unravels knots between myth and unconscious fantasy. Deconstructed into parts, the scene offers a glimpse into certain anxious messages caught up in our relationship with “where we come from” and “where we seem to find ourselves constantly trying to return to.” The scene was entirely designed in 3D, using several light passes, and a camera split diopter filter.
