For CONF01, we were thrilled to launch with the exceptional creativity of Mike Meiré, featuring a special print giveaway to our esteemed customers and partners. The artwork, derived from his vibrant newsprint paintings, was ingeniously remixed in Cinema4D, transforming the traditional medium into a dynamic digital sculpture that vibrates with energy and color. This groundbreaking piece not only served as a captivating visual experience with its richly layered textures but also marked the beginning of a limited NFT series on OBJKT, heralding the start of our exclusive digital collection. “Imagine a lot of bubblegum, an inverted Milky Way, golden honey in a glass box and a fresh vegan coral salad... visual happiness is guaranteed. Actually the composition is based on my colorful newsprint paintings, but in 3D. Enjoy!” Mike Meiré

CONF03

For CONF03 in 2024, we wre excited to have won Elsa Carvalho with "Translucent Souls #24". This artwork is a prime example of long-form AI art, where the inherent unpredictability of the AI process means the artist relinquishes any traditional curatorial control. Instead, Elsa Carvalho focuses on refining prompts and parameters, allowing each piece to manifest uniquely at the moment of minting. This artwork stands out in this year's selection, showcasing the artist's innovative approach to digital artistry and her skill in realizing a vision that resonates deeply with the essence of conceptual art. "Translucent Souls #24" invites us to explore and celebrate the crystalline transparency of our inner selves, serving as a symbol of introspection and empowerment. “What if we lived with the transparency of glass, revealing our intricate emotions and thoughts? Imagine a reality where vulnerabilities are embraced, and truths laid bare challenge the veils we wear. As the year concludes, may 2024 bring clarity, authenticity, and the beauty found in shared humanity. Here’s to a luminous new year filled with genuine connections and the courage to be seen. Wishing you a radiant 2024!” Elsa Carvalho
