What's the last digital artwork that actually moved you?

AA
Aleksandra Art@aart3 months ago

Not the most important, not the most expensive, not the most technically impressive - the last one that actually got you. Stopped your scroll, stayed in your head, made you feel something you didn't expect.

Mine: “SummerFun” 2021, by zakloyd. I’ve been enjoying exploring his early work and this spoke to my summer mood.

No wrong answers, no floor prices, no discourse. Just the work. What was it?

SOL by Kurt Hentschlager: https://kurthentschlager.com/SOL-2017

I was so lucky to get to see this in Budapest in an exhibition curated by Viola Lukács.

I talked about this piece a bit in my lecture “5 Perfect Artworks”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XphcODzeeqQ

I found @tresset’s Human Studies very moving. I see it as a meditation on the loneliness bought on by the advanced technological age, where the human has become the subject, rather than the one being subjective https://patricktresset.com/new/

Love @tresset’s work! Did you catch @axel’s interview with him?: https://www.rightclicksave.com/article/drawing-with-robots-patrick-tresset-interview

I was extremely impressed by the movie “Melted into the Sun“ by Saodat Ismailova recently shown at Fondation Pinault.

@aart This is such a great question! A work that moved me recently is a photograph by Maria Fynsk Norup from her self-portrait series “1 in 8”, documenting her path through breast cancer treatment... she was shortlisted for the Sony World Photography Awards 2026 for this series: https://www.worldphoto.org/sony-world-photography-awards/winners-galleries/2026/professional/1-8-maria-fynsk-norup

Matthew Barney’s Cremaster 2. It has that thing I love in Cocteau and Fellini, where beauty is never far from grotesquerie and symbolism feels closer to dream logic than something waiting to be decoded. The bees, Houdini, Gary Gilmore, the execution chamber, all folded into this strange operatic cosmology. I left feeling slightly sick and completely enchanted, which is often how I know something has actually moved me.

DK
Danielle King@danielleTeam2mo ago

YES @praxitelean! I saw the Cremaster cycle years ago and it has still stuck with me - so wild and weird - a fully formed, deranged & dreamlike world...

Its always the scale that makes an impact on me. Kinetic Sculpture by Breakfast have long been amazing.

I don’t think our space realizes how well established digital art is already outside our crypto world. But it is there and thriving and selling really well.

Yeah kinetic sculptures by Breakfast are larger than life.

AA
Aleksandra Art@aart2mo ago

I agree the scale often influences the impact, esp with digital art where the concept is often scalable

when i think of kinetic art i often return to the works of Daniel Rozin and how he introduced "mechanical mirrors"

This I had to get, as it completely stuck with me.
There is so much going on within this minimal scene, I can just sit with it for ages.

Olivia Rodrigo’s latest album. “stupid song” is a standout. I know that’s not how we typically use “digital art” but it’s digital and it’s art and those boundaries are porous so I figured I’d share
