24 HOURS OF ART: Tuesday Highlights

Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 9/30 - 10/1

Oct 01, 2024

Beeple announces ‘THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE’ as the latest artwork out of Beeple Studios.

The lineage of kinetic sculpture ‘HUMAN ONE’ continues but with a twist. This one is interactive. Do you prefer signal or noise? Turn a dial one way and encounter a serene future with technological and natural coexistence. Turn it the other and invite chaos, media and information overload.

Via Beeple:
“I aim to create an experience where viewers aren’t told what to think, but are instead given the freedom to choose how much information they let in...”

The artwork has been acquired by Lingotto and proceeds donated to non-profits Art into Acres and Big Green.

Fittingly, the day concludes with a new Everyday artwork, entitled “A TREE IS BORN”.

Via die with the most likes:

Closing Thoughts

An absolute assault of digital art across chains and categories. It feels like this one was pent up for a few weeks, and the headlines write themselves. Spend time with the line items today. It’s worth it.

24 Hours of Art published its latest story this morning, this one on the intersection of digital art (Yatreda) and institution (Toledo Museum of Art). Have a watch.
