Explore the evolving intersection of traditional sculpture, digital modeling, 3D printing, procedural generation, artificial intelligence, and immersive virtual spaces. The book examines how contemporary art moves between Apollonian order and Dionysian metamorphosis, balancing formal structure and organic transformation in the evolving language of sculpture.
It further investigates how concepts of authenticity and uniqueness are challenged in the digital era through technologies like NFTs, blockchain certification, and the emergence of hybrid artworks that simultaneously exist as physical matter, digital code, and metaverse experiences.
The volume is structured into four comprehensive parts. The first part begins with a historical and material perspective and explores the philosophical and material shift from classical forms to digital energy, addressing the interplay between Apollonian clarity and Dionysian fluidity, while introducing issues of uniqueness, dematerialization, and the role of digital code in contemporary aesthetics. The second part delves into the creative processes of virtual modeling, procedural generation, algorithmic form-making, and artificial growth as new logics of artistic creation, where algorithms collaborate with the artist to generate evolving, unpredictable forms, visual landscapes, and possible new or alien worlds. It also explores hybrid creative processes that combine AI-powered expansions, using platforms like Stable Diffusion Midjourney, DALL-E, and text-to-image models, resulting in hybrid artworks that exist simultaneously in physical, digital, and immersive dimensions.
The third part presents the artistic application of these processes through five fundamental creative themes: Energy, Landscapes, Architecture, Memory, and Future Worlds. Each theme gives shape to original artworks that merge traditional techniques, digital modeling, and AI-driven expansions, resulting in installations that explore symbolic, natural, and visionary dimensions. The fourth part investigates how blockchain, NFTs, and metaverse exhibition spaces redefine authenticity, ownership, and the display of art in an increasingly virtualized cultural landscape.
The book offers both theoretical and practical guidance on 3D modeling, procedural generation, AI-powered image synthesis, and 3D printing, while also addressing issues of authenticity, ownership, and virtual exhibition. By following these processes, artists and scholars will gain a comprehensive understanding of how contemporary art navigates the expanding intersection between matter, code, and imagination.
