Purple #Mineral
Mathieu Merlet Briand is a French digital artist who utilises his work to illuminate the synthetic ways in which information is shaped, guided, and fragmented, especially in reference to nature and technology.
In this new work designed specifically for the Not Only RGB exhibition, the artist continues his physical New Nature series with Purple #Mineral, a virtual 3D sculpture depicting the abstracted form of a geometric amethyst crystal. As a sculpture in virtual space that requires the audience to fully experience it through their movement around the object, Purple #Mineral translates the multi-faceted beauty of precious stones, which have captured human attention for aeons, to the eternal platform of the digital world. In this way, Merlet Briand embraces a hybrid understanding of the natural world as both delicate and expansive space, mirroring the complexity and infinity of the digital realm in many of the same ways.
