On Oct. 1 Beeple released his latest artwork, The Tree of Knowledge, which uses a kinetic sculpture series that was first introduced in his piece Human One. The artwork features the image of a digital tree overlapped by news footage from various media outlets.
“By turning the dial between signal and noise viewers see the difference between a serene future where technology and nature coexist and a chaotic present filled with real time data, media and information overload,” he said in the post.
The Tree of Knowledge was first unveiled at the Italian Tech Week where it was announced that the piece has been acquired by Lingotto with the funds going to Beeple Studios’s non-profits, which are Art into Acres and Big Green.
Over the years, Beeple has grown to become an acclaimed artist in the non-fungible token space. He is most famously known for being the first artist to have a digital piece sold via Christie’s famous auction house.
His artwork “FTX Board Meeting, Day #5676 11.13.2022 (2023)”, inspired by the Sam Bankman-Fried rumored sexual escapades with the FTX staff, became permanent addition to The Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Artte Contemporanea art museum in Italy.
