"ATTENTION" is a conceptual HTML piece born as a critique against the fast and shallow consumption of digital art, especially on social platforms. The piece is reduced to the only value left in the ADHD civilisation: the time you're willing to spend looking at it.
Open to offers on SuperRare
When a collector collects the conceptual "The Last Hammer", the artist named Jæn will fulfil his last obligations (exhibitions, collaborations, art series) and end his career. The price is calculated as a monthly salary needed to reach France's average age of death, taxes included. The only way to un-end the artist's career would be to send this piece to the BurnAddress.
Alternative titles:
"Abuse of Power"
"The Price of Silence"
"Exit Liquidity"
This conceptual piece asks you to position yourself on the edge of the cliff, to ponder about the life and work of an artist, the power or excess of power of being a collector, about the real capacity of an artist to retire from their passion, and how boundaries between collectors and artists should be set.

Le Nouveau-Né Numérique
A digital, AI-fueled, audiovisual & interactive take on Brâncusi's
Le Nouveau-Né (the Newborn).
Once loaded, touch the black screen, and see the Newborn go from a warm and loved place to a colder, glitchier state. The viewer needs to touch the Newborn for more than 5 seconds to make it go back to its initial loved place.
Probably influenced by spending the first days of my life in an incubator.
This piece was made as part of the HOMAGE exhibition, exhibited in the Constantin Brâncusi Center, Craiova Art Museum, Romania, and then in New York (Lume Studios). The exhibition was created by ArtBees and Accelerate Art, and curated by None32x32 and Claire Silver
The piece will be donated to the Craiova Art Museum when they create a wallet.

A Left CLick
An interactive contemporary take on "Study for Left Hand" by a student of School of Ludovico Gallina, 1779, part of the Sheptytsky Museum in Ukraine.
Replacing the hand by the iconic mouse pointer icon, remade pixel by pixel, following the iconic design of the Windows 98 cursor. The pointer is our first avatar in this new digital realm we have created. Through this primordial tool, we can touch digital objects. Here, the work invites you to grab the icon itself, storing the integrity of this early-days experience by changing your own pointer and delivering the original click sound. You can grab it, but it's a distant feeling. The artwork is this feeling - the gap between your hand the digital world.
It was made for a of charity event to fund the restoration of the Chernihiv Regional Art Museum and Kharkiv Art Museum, severely damaged by the war, organised by Eleonora Brizi.
