Description

In Human One, Beeple pioneers a unique characteristic by allowing his work to evolve dynamically over time, tapping into the full potential of the medium of digital art in a way that has never been done before. A traditional work of art is more akin to a finite statement, frozen in time at the moment it was completed. In contrast, this work allows the ability to remotely change the video in the physical sculpture, endowing it with a life-like quality similar to biological growth. It is more akin to an ongoing conversation that the artist can continue to add new meaning and context to over time. Just as the virtual person depicted in the artwork is on a journey, this artwork itself is a journey whose end is unclear even to Beeple.
