After success start of house concepts in Metaverse in 2021 by Krista Kim and its representation as an exhibition pavilion the idea of creating virtual living started evolving. Here is Andrés Reisinger and Alba de la Fuente designing modernist house in a frosty metaverse landscape. At some point they can easily swap it during the holidays with Krista’s Mars House
“Winter House is stacked on a large concrete slab to create a "floating floor", underneath which a glass box houses a chunky concrete staircase that leads visitors from the front door into the house.” writes Dezeen
“Argentinian digital artist Reisinger created the house together with Madrid-based architect De la Fuente to reflect the early 1960s projects of industrial designer Dieter Rams, while also exploring winter in the metaverse.” Echoing with functional principles of Le Corbusier “Reisinger explained that the house's expansive windows intend to connect the inside and outside spaces, all of which have been rendered with a subtle splash of pink.”

We evolve technology. Technology evolves us.
Technogenica is a short movie animation where humanoids, technology and uncontaminated nature collaborate in a performative and theatrical act.
Technology and digital media are becoming more and more woven into the fabric of everyday life and we are evolving alongside; and the process is mutualistic.
The title Technogenica comes from ‘Technogenesis’, a thesis by Bernard Stiegler and N. Katherine Hayles clinically defined as a process of “adaptation, the fit between organisms and their environments (humans and technologies) undergoing coordinated transformations.”
Humans have always been interconnected with their environment and co-evolved with it. This process is common in nature, examples are coral and coral reefs, birds and bird’s nests, plants and oxygen. We’re part of nature, and so is everything we make and use. Likewise, technology is part of nature.
In the last 500 years, technology has always been an essential tool in connecting and shaping the future. To reinforce the dialogue between past and future, the artist has designed a hybrid scenography combining contemporary theatre elements and robotics with ancient ruins inspired by the Unesco site of Palmyra.
The artist created light and photography of the piece by studying the work of visionary painters from the past such as Vermeer, Jan van Eyck, Robert Campin and even Tiziano, Antonello da Messina.
Lo Schiavo created the vocals of the song with a virtual female vocalist modelled on the voice of a real professional soprano singer. This is one of the first examples created with this technology and the computer-generated vocals reinforce the symbiotic human-technology relationship.
For the last scene, the artist has acquired an Intracytoplasmic sperm injection video shot by a camera from a microscope lens (In Vitro Fertilization). IVF is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology to date.
The original orchestral music was composed by Arnaud Hug, an international award-winning music composer that creates music for films, theatre shows and advertisements. He has worked for Netflix, Nike, Adidas, BMW and many more.

Classical sculptures becomes reinterpreted as a four dimensional form. The audience is presented with a shifting perspective of the sculpture, mirroring the conflicting perspectives of our own history and religions, both of which are become distorted through time. It draws a parallel between our history and current political landscapes, where it has become harder than ever to decipher truth from bias, with two realities presented at any given time.
The works each progressively fracture into fragments of the initial mold, creating a complex and impossible interpenetrating form, they shift back and forth before regressively returning to the start, the loop continues endlessly. The sculptures are to be enjoying in the static, moving, and 3D dimensional form, owners of the NFT's will receive an animated sculpture for their Metaverse galleries.

A New Nature
by Mark Dorf
"A New Nature" contemplates the future of what is commonly referred to in Western culture as Nature through scenes that are both cautionary and celebratory. The works in A New Nature do not depict a future that is a return to the pastoral and bucolic landscape, but neither is it a future of doom and gloom. Instead, these works reveal environments that are augmented with technology, for better or worse, and that are full of mystery suggesting and normalizing images of a strange hybrid, and at times abject, planetary system of technology-organisms.
These new works are derived from a longer form video installation A New Nature are debuting at the end of the month at @museumgestaltung with @daz_digitalartzurich
⚭ Nature is just a word that is assigned to a place over there. Theres nothing over there that is not over here

“Each piece I create embodies the goal of merging the analogue/physical and digital. I begin a new piece by first making a painting on canvas with acrylic paint, spray paint and occasionally other chemicals. While the paint is still wet and malleable, I photograph the canvas both regularly and at a macro scale, revealing some of the more alien details the paint may create by interacting with itself. Once I have a set of sometimes hundreds of photos, I select the ones that strike me as most otherworldly or ones that would work well as a landscape foundation.”
”I bring these photographs into Photoshop and begin building, layering, cutting and seaming—slowly playing with density to reveal something that doesn't look paint-like at all. Often I will add gradients at this stage before running this preliminary collage through a pixel sorting bit of code in Processing. Pixel sorting is a technique invented by Kim Asendorf in 2010—I like to work with analogue methods, but have a deep respect and awe of code, combining the two in the NFT / Digital Art space is what, to me, solidifies the art as a digital work, rather than physical. “
”This process repeats and can go on for many hours until I feel a sense of completion, or indeed, perhaps a bit of transportation. You can read a bit more here: https://janastyblova.com/a-nebula “

With elements of subtle allegory, she expresses her eerie visions through screenshots of the imaginary story, by guiding a viewer on a journey through visionary interpretations of her fictional worlds.From dreamlike landscapes and fantasy scenery, to animal characters, as well as strange creatures and environments, she uses the observation of inner conflicts and questions that arise from them, as a dreamy and vivid example of her personal experience of the world.

“In his latest series, titled Wittgenstein’s cabin, visual artist Dionisio González (more here) envisions a group of amphibious dwellings set on the Norwegian fjords. the project draws from Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein’s secluded hut, planned and built in 1914 on the steep shore of lake Eidsvatnet in Skjolden, beside the Sognefjord. Designed as prototypes for thought, the amphibious dwellings act as reflections of the world while in turn, they are reflected on the mirror of the waters.” , read more on designboom
