Reality is subjective. Choose signal.
The Tree of Knowledge is a digitally-programmed sculpture which responds in real time to events around the world, with three possible states – signal, noise and violence. The artwork, part of the Lingotto collection, encompasses Beeple’s reflections on the subjective nature of our individual realities, and on a hypothetical symbiosis between technology and nature.
SIGNAL is the most optimistic state. A step back from the noise and violence of reality, it presents a measured, forward-thinking view in which humans, nature and technology manage to coexist.
Printmakers at Make-Ready in London have transformed a static representation of the tree in its signal state into a fine-tuned UV pigment print with a satin varnish seal.
Beeple4 collaborationsMike Winkelmann, aka Beeple, is the unlikely hero of the digital age. His weird, epic, dystopian images and animations are bursting with political satire – underscored by macabrely entertaining titles like Elon Baby Breastfeeding Himself and Tom Hanks Beats the Shit Out Of Coronavirus. On 1 May 2007, Mike began his seminal project Everydays. He created a jpeg and put it online. Then he did the same thing the next day and the day after. Over 15 years later, he's never missed a day. Comprising more than 6000 artworks, Everydays is now a landmark in the history of digital art. Not only did the project’s first 5000 instalments become the first purely digital work Christie's ever sold, realising a mammoth $69,346,250 at auction in 2021, but it also helped establish the everyday as a movement within digital culture – a practice that many artists have since adopted.
