Collectors of each SEED will receive two additional artworks: an evolutionary SPROUT and ultimately a full BLOOM, all of which are in MotionSickness’ signature 3D animation style.
Heavily inspired by nature and how both the natural world and humanity as a whole is constantly developing and growing organically, these works are highly personal for the artist and mark the debut of a conceptual release format he has been interested in for some time.
The nature of the ERC-7160 dynamic gallery contract token gives collectors enhanced control over how they wish to view and share the artworks, thereby deepening their connection with the works themselves. Two days after a SEED is acquired, it will be joined by a SPROUT and a week after that a BLOOM will be added to the contract to round out the collection. Note: August is Wintertime for the Seeds so no new works will be added during that month.
Note: All three artworks on each ERC-7160 contract will be animated; still images displayed on the artwork details pages below represent previews of the final works.
About the artist:
For over a decade, German artist Patric Ortmann (AKA MotionSickness) has been a sought-after Motion Design Artist, having worked for brands like Audi, Mercedes, VW, and Nike. He has made a name for himself, producing large-scale audiovisual media installations, concert visuals, and projection mapping for brands and well-known artists like The Weeknd.
Apart from his client work, Ortmann has developed a unique aesthetic, looping 3D animations and audio. A lifelong learner, Ortmann’s practice is one of constant evolution as his fascination with new technology pushes him into possibilities, including his most notable artworks that feature Moebius-strip-like knots and loops that defy physical laws, work that is both tangibly figurative and textbook abstraction. The resulting aesthetic might be termed Sci-Fi Mysticism.
Outside of visual fascination, Ortmann approaches the work of this figurative-abstraction with a scholarly rigor, referencing the symbolism of religious and esoteric practices like Hinduism, Buddhism, and mysticism to imbue his work with a deeper set of possible meanings.
