xSublimatio is a "merging" aesthetic digital drug experience on the Ethereum blockchain. The project is at the crossroads of art, science, and gaming. It is an interactive artistic experience that allows people to acquire digital and generative molecules and create digital drugs on the blockchain using NFTs.

xSublimatio is questioning the aesthetic potential of Web3, coding and artificial intelligence, in the era of mass digitalization of all aspects of reality. While the consumption of images and data on the Internet have now, become an addiction stimulating the release of feel-good hormones, this project uses technology to stage the representations of molecules (symbolizing our tangible reality) through the prism of drugs and water. Collectors can purchase these molecules which have been randomly selected from 64 different types generated by AI. To create their desired drug out of the 19 possible options, holders need to obtain the right combination of ingredients by trading or buying extra molecules.

Pierre Pauze is a French artist and filmmaker. His practice evolves as much in the field of contemporary art, cinema and digital arts. He has won numerous art awards, including the Agnes B prize in 2016, and the ADAGP digital art video art prize in 2019, and his work has been shown in museums around the world and on television, notably at the Centre Pompidou and the Monnaie de Paris, Luma Arles, La Villette, as well as in numerous international art biennials such as the Taipei, Chengdu and Macao Biennials. He is also active in the web3 field, co-founding the NFT laboratory Faction.art and xSublimatio. His work "follow the green rabbit" was the first NFT to be collected by a museum in France, at the Musée Granet.

© Washmachine, Céline Shen, Nebula

The duo of artists called WASHMACHINE and the artist designer Céline Shen have collaborated on the Nebula project, a three-panel collection of works combining a universe of garment sculptures formed of atmospheric layers.

The Nebula project was born of a quest to experiment with form and matter, voluptuousness and combustion. This triptych unveils a chemical concoction creating atmospheres embodying the representation of three eras: the imaginary of an original world in formation whose vapours are tinged with the glow of the rainbow, a modern age where the element of metal predominates, and the era of plastic, the standard emblem of advanced industrial societies.

Supple by nature, they improvise themselves into moving rigidity, where smoke can flow like a vaporous river, a floating being, master of the elements. Between the real and the imaginary, they navigate between the familiarity of earthly elements

and the impossibility of the images they compose. Together, they reveal an ethereal atmosphere, where gravity seems disrupted, where the astral and reality can blend.

Washmachine is the duo of artists composed of Bastien Petit and Lucie Ellison. Both passionate about new technologies and curious about their use in the field of art, they wanted to use their knowledge to create content combining clothing, technology and surreal atmospheres. Both computer graphic designers by trade, Bastien initially experimented with virtual production and VFX, while Lucie was more interested in augmented reality and the creation of virtual garments.

© Excalibur, AR Peacock

This work is a reinterpretation of the iconic Samaritaine mural of peacocks by Francis Jourdain, with a new perspective through contemporary pixel art. Originally, peacocks were creatures native to Asia and Africa and did not live in France, but they became a motif of Art Nouveau because of the Orientalism trend represented by Ukiyo-e.

Pixel flowers never wither. Just like our minds.

This work was exhibited at Samaritaine, in the neighborhood of the Tuileries Garden, in 2022.

EXCALIBUR are contemporary artists based in Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan. With the theme of real and virtual or its overlap called "Street, Ethernet, Field", they create art that transforms into social records, by alternating personal memories with stories and myths.

© Hermine Bourdin, Dancing Goddess

Paris based sculptress; Hermine's artistic practice is inspired by the Neolithic period of ancient Europe, the Cucuteni-Trypillia, Vinca and Minoan civilizations. Her favorite material, clay, is a direct reference to the feminine matrix of the Goddess. Passionate by sculpture since a very young age, Hermine seeks to represent generous, proud sensual women, all imbued by a strong and protective tone. Once imagined, the shape is drawn before beginning a long dialog with the material, doing and undoing the work until each piece comes to life in a perfect balance of curves and movements. Then she starts the process of finishing touches giving to each piece this unique sensual texture.

Fascinated by dance, she asked Eugenie Drion, dancer at the French Opera, to perform using motion tracking technology, a Vicon suit. She then scanned in 3D her physical sandstone sculpture, remodelled it in 3D and rigged it. Eugenie Drion’s performance was then transcribed to the piece giving life to the sculpture in a unique and poetic way through dance. This artistic project is the marriage of sculpture and dance through new technologies.

Hermine Bourdin is a sculptress based near Paris. She has been passionate about sculpture since a very young age, and after working in illustration, graphic design, stop-motion animation, and design, she decided to pursue her passion and learn to sculpt under the guidance of various masters in stone, wood, plaster, and sandstone, her material of choice. Bourdin also uses digital tools as a new material for exploration and creation, allowing her to defy the laws of the physical universe through new technologies, liberating her of the static and gravity constraint of material work.

© Tamiko Thiel & / p, Unexpected Growths

Perturbations in the natural order have torn the fabric of the space-time continuum, and unexpected growths are seeping into our world - perhaps from our own future. Augmented reality apps transform our mobile devices into "ARscopes;" allowing us to see into these parallel dimensions that co-exist and overlay our own so-called "reality."

One such growth was first discovered on the 6th floor terrace of the Whitney Museum of American Art and has subsequently been sighted around the world including Riga/Latvia, but also inland cities such as Bad Homburg/Germany and now in the Tuileries in Paris.

The growths are animate, an odd mixture of coral animals and plastic. It is unclear how the plastics are becoming incorporated into living systems, and what effects these coral-plastic symbioses will have on the larger ecosystems, especially on animals all along the food chain - up to human beings - who feed off of sea flora and fauna. More investigation and longer terms studies will be needed to see the longer-term effects of human interference with its growth cycle. Are such symbioses our future, as plastic waste becomes more numerous than the fish in the sea?

Another troublesome aspect is that the reefs are clearly underwater. If they are really coming from our future, when will the waters cover Paris?

Tamiko Thiel was awarded the 2018 SAT Montreal Visionary Pioneer Award for now over 35 years of politically and socially critical media artworks exploring place, space, the body, cultural identity and ecology. Since 2018 she has been collaborating with the artist /p. Their AR installation Unexpected Growth was commissioned by and is in the collection of the Whitney Museum New York.

© Valéry Grancher, Marcel Duchamp sur Valéry Grancher

Originally, this piece was composed of two video installations, which are in the collection of the CNAP and were featured in the exhibitions “Time and Space Ready Made" at the Palais de Tokyo in 2005 and at the Honegger Foundation in Mouans en Sartoux in 2007. Given the Parkour’s nature Valery decided to compose a new piece using Artificial Intelligence to populated Marcel Duchamp’s and create ghost portraits of established visual artists discussing their own work or the art of other creators from other time periods. Today, AI consumes all the data in the world and can inhabit a human personality! Valery uses AI to craft human ghosts that are defining a more specific and precise model for the human spirit: the humanities the Art.

In this way, Valéry established an indirect perspective of his two pieces, questioning the current environmental challenges in the most iconoclastic manner, by employing an AI that embodies Marcel Duchamp and explains his two pieces while weaving connections with his own oeuvre. The AI has composed this entire text, which is right on point, inspired by the two exhibitions it was displayed in.18n years ago!
Born in 1967, Grancher is a French artist based in Paris and Hong Kong since 2014, recognized for his pioneering role in online art and “Google paintings”. His artistic practice encompasses various media such as internet art, video, photography, painting, AI painting and VR installations, reflecting his exploratory curiosity for new artistic forms and concepts.

Meet us in the Tuileries to find out what Duchamp has to say about Valéry's work!
