IT'S A JOURNEY by INA VARE
'TIDES' is the opening chapter of 'IT’S A JOURNEY,' an epic visual saga by video artist INA VARE that celebrates exploration, valour, and axe mastery. This first part features several GIF artworks, marking the journey's beginning.
INA VARE is a seasoned analogue video and glitch artist with over a decade of experience and has been a part of the crypto art scene for over three years. Her work uniquely blends technical skill with poetic expression, often incorporating performance art.
In winter 2023, INA VARE debuted with an axe in her conceptual video artwork 'BEAR SERENITY'. This piece was part of the 'BITCHES, BUTCHES AND BEARS' exhibition, curated by OONA and SamJ, and minted on the CampFire platform (Avalanche blockchain).
By December 2023, INA VARE repurposed footage from 'BEAR SERENITY' to create a meme artwork aligned with the #TEZPOLE trend, which she minted on the Tezos blockchain.
THE JOURNEY
INA VARE's cross-chain project kicked off with the minting of 'THE TIDE IS COMING' on the Tezos blockchain on June 7, 2024. This single-edition NFT was auctioned off to much acclaim. Now, INA continues the saga on Foundation/Base with three new artworks that build on the original piece.
These three artworks depict the arrival of the main characters at the sea.
INA describes it as a sea of opportunity that is cold and salty. There's not much to do here, so it's a good idea to practice some axe moves in the calm and chilly air.
About Artist
INA VARE is a Latvian glitch and analogue video artist.
Her artistic journey stems from her innate technological curiosity, which crosses from the physical world of analogue to digital. Her creative energy has given her growing recognition in the CryptoArt movement.
Her signature style has developed through her deep understanding of digital, VHS and circuit-bending tools and processes. By experimenting with retro-analogue video aesthetics, INA re-creates a nostalgic visual experience which reflects the depths of noise, error, and glitches. Her artistic narrative is balanced between sentimental and deeply personal matters ranging from complete abstraction to parody and the grotesque.
VXN
Buenos Aires-based Victoria Campobello, is known by her artistic moniker VXN. Her artistic style fuses 3D software and sculpture to deconstruct and transform bodies and environments. Through a blend of techniques, themes, and visual languages, she crafts intricate compositions that straddle the line between figurative and abstract, merging seemingly disparate aesthetics.
VXN's work envisions the interplay between nature, organic growth, sexuality, and cyberspace, capturing the digital age's disconnection between mind and body. She leads a collective of Latin American creatives at @CryptoArg_, focusing on digital art, physical exhibitions, and metaverse events in the NFT space. They aim to encourage a slower, more contemplative approach to art consumption and bring a conceptual mindset to the crypto-verse.
As a freelance 3D designer, VXN collaborates with clients in the fashion, music, and advertising industries. She is committed to challenging the limits of digital artistry and experimenting with various mixed-reality tools.

Digital Art from Jana Stýblová
Analogue, abstract and grotesque artist Jana Stýblová shares her vision
“Each piece I create embodies the goal of merging the analogue/physical and digital. I begin a new piece by first making a painting on canvas with acrylic paint, spray paint and occasionally other chemicals. While the paint is still wet and malleable, I photograph the canvas both regularly and at a macro scale, revealing some of the more alien details the paint may create by interacting with itself. Once I have a set of sometimes hundreds of photos, I select the ones that strike me as most otherworldly or ones that would work well as a landscape foundation.”
”I bring these photographs into Photoshop and begin building, layering, cutting and seaming—slowly playing with density to reveal something that doesn't look paint-like at all. Often I will add gradients at this stage before running this preliminary collage through a pixel sorting bit of code in Processing. Pixel sorting is a technique invented by Kim Asendorf in 2010—I like to work with analogue methods, but have a deep respect and awe of code, combining the two in the NFT / Digital Art space is what, to me, solidifies the art as a digital work, rather than physical. “
”This process repeats and can go on for many hours until I feel a sense of completion, or indeed, perhaps a bit of transportation. You can read a bit more here: https://janastyblova.com/a-nebula “
Edgar Invoker
Saint-Petersburg, Russia based artist Edgar Invoker creates quite surreal and experimental artworks by mixing digital tools with airbrush, monotype, liquid acrylic, masking. Practicing techniques contributing to lucid dreaming, he fixes the experience and understanding in the form of paintings. The main technique is to create an abstract form in the form of a blot or a paint print, followed by a "manifestation" of a specific image using a set of techniques.
Manuel Benchico Art
Artist Manuel Benchico juxtaposes digital techniques with classic interpretation by using slit scan and glitched portraits recreated painstakingly with oil on canvas. We always believed the future of art is in adoption of the new tools for the sake of delivering new meanings.
Post Digital Art of Alexey Shahov
“The worlds Alexey Shahov creates look like video games that are still in the process of being designed, as grey, uneven body parts with stickman-like features are partially covered by sprawling flashes of spray paint and pencil marks.“
Woven Glitch Blankets by Zouassi
Digital artist Zouassi went beyond screen field he usually fill up with a slit-scan glitch artworks and landed in exploring the cotton woven craft by delivering machine made Glitch Blankets that will define our age of digital decadence sometime in a future.
Glitch Art by Azamat Akhmadbaev
Azamat Akhmadbaev (b.1991) is a visual artist who lives and works in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He works across many disciplines including painting, photography, video and digital art. His artworks operates in the gap between glitch art, abstraction, minimalism and graphic art. Also he is a founder/editor-in-chief of @dontpostme_magazine - a magazine about contemporary art. Private collections in Russia, Spain, the USA, the UK and Poland
We’ve approached Azamat this July to create an artwork for our Special Edition of @Digital.Decade reflecting on the current situation in the world. He came up with “Bite tongue, deep breaths” available for collecting on @seditionart for your digital home and mobile screens.
BITE TONGUE, DEEP BREATHS, 2020 is a part of an ongoing series of digital artworks by Azamat Akhmadbaev. This artwork continues to explore the limits of digital art world, and it was inspired by a song by Clams Casino & Imogen Heap ‘I’m God’.
Having taken the repeating words ‘bite tongue, deep breaths’ from the song, the artist has transformed a sampled song’s melody and text into the colorful artwork with infinite number of layers. Using glitched, vandalized images and texts (in a special, manually designed fonts) as brushes on a digital canvas, Akhmadbaev represents a dualism of the digital and the real, physical world. Technically, the artist checks out the ability of auto and manual software tools to create the image with glitched, lost, degraded effects. Conceptually, the artist launches the self-reflexive process with a manifestation of his attitude to the legacy of the post-war (abstract painting) and 90’s (usage of computer technologies in art) periods. And references to the popular song are the digitally manipulated links with culture and time in history discourse.
Mathographics by GMUNK
The essence of being a creative professional is the ‘Art of Freestyle.’ This for Munky (GMUNK or Bradley G Munkowitz) means delving deep into the PsyMunk and finding those symmetries of craft and fruition that make the passion stream with inspired output. The Mathographics series is a culmination of that research, the purity and fabric of graphic design infused with optical distortions and anomalies to create statements of immersive intent and perpetual translation. The series first takes form as a series of kaleidoscopic movements, sequenced together into a short film scored and edited by frequent collaborator CallMeClark.

Pixel Future by Eliska Kyselkova
Hunger magazine collaborated with digital artist Eliska Kyselkova to create a special editorial aptly titled "Pixel Future"
“Now it feels like your digital self is more important then the reality. Most of us spend the majority of the day checking our phones and laptops and this digital experience will get even more immersive with future developments of augmented and virtual reality. We’ve also seen the creation of robot Sophia by Hanson Robotics in 2015 – [the] first AI with more than 50 facial expressions – and the ability of recognising faces thanks to the computer algorithms. This connection to digital reality and modern progress was a big inspiration for me.”

Studio BLUP for Adidas Winter Olympics Team GB
London-based Studio BLUP has recently updated their nobles folio with a commission done for Adidas online campaign aimed to promote Team GB at Winter Olympics
The Brief
To create the social marketing material for Adidas's officia Winter Olympics Kit launch.
The BLUP way
There aren't many household names who represent GB in the Winter Olympics so there were no sports celebs to base the kit launch around. Thinking The Blup Way we decided to focus on the kit with no model at all giving each piece its own identity through a series of still and motion graphics. The soundtrack we added aims to act like an 'epic' movie trailer in order to create a dark, icy impact.

Cristina Burns
Cristina Burns is a photographer and a mixed media artist. Her work is characterised by juxtaposition, where opposing elements such as candies, toys, and flowers are fused to anatomical parts and insects, often blurring the extremely thin lines between fantasy and reality, purity and sin, life and death.
This multiplicity of elements are meticulously arranged to create her surrealistic compositions, then she photographs the assemblage, digitally enhance and prints in a limited number of copies, the resulting print is the only record of the artist's process.
