Description

The "Digital Fruit" project, a central piece of the "Xanthopsia" collection, is a conceptual reinterpretation of Van Gogh's work "Apples", transposed into an allegory of art in the digital age. Merging physical painting and digital animation, it creates a visual palimpsest whose goal is to shift attention from the finished art object to the intellectual process and the production of meaning. The Central Allegory: The On-Chain Fruit: The heart of the concept is the metaphor of the digital work conceived as an organic "fruit". It "ripens" during its creation, has a traceable origin on the "tree" of the blockchain, and can be "picked" by a collector. Blockchain technology, through its invisible infrastructure (nodes, contracts), acts as the root system that nourishes and ensures the longevity of this creative ecosystem. A Hybrid Process as Work: The artistic approach is itself the work. It begins with an "original soil": a gestural acrylic painting, homage to Van Gogh's materiality. This canvas is then photographed, an act of "translation" towards the digital. This is followed by "reinterpretation" in digital painting, where a subrealist abstraction injects a dreamlike and psychological dimension. Finally, minimalist frame-by-frame animation gives a "breath" to the work, transforming it from a still life into a "still living" entity. Philosophy: The Work as Activator of Meaning: "Digital Fruit" acts as an "activator of meaning", a device that triggers a "sensitive conversation" on several levels: with oneself (introspection), with art history (dialogue with Van Gogh), and with technology (nature of digital ownership). The title of the collection, "Xanthopsia" (yellow vision), is the key to interpretation: it echoes an altered perception, potentially that of Van Gogh, and justifies this reinterpretation as a quest for positivity in dark moments. By revisiting a humble work, the project projects universal questions about duality (nature/technology, material/immaterial). In conclusion, "Digital Fruit" weaves links between art history, philosophy, and digital culture. By valuing the process over the object, it proposes a meditation on our hybrid world and pays homage to the ability of art to transcend eras to generate an infinite dialogue.
