Description : The Tree of Knowledge – The Consequence of Choosing Violence
Reality is subjective. Choose violence.
The Tree of Knowledge is an interactive digital sculpture that evolves in real time, reacting to world events and transitioning between three distinct states: signal, noise and violence. Part of the prestigious Lingotto Collection, this work signed Beeple questions the subjectivity of our individual realities and the ambiguous relationship between technology and nature.
VIOLENCE embodies the state of conflict. In this phase, a deliberate choice activates a radical transformation of the tree, but with a defined limit: once a certain threshold is reached, the destruction becomes irreversible. Beeple thus illustrates an implacable reality – just as in our world, decisions that lead to violence have irreversible consequences. When there are no more options left, the Tree of Knowledge remains forever in flames, symbolizing the irreparable damage caused by the escalation of conflicts.
THE Make-Ready printmakers in London captured this moment of change, freezing the tree in its state of VIOLENCE for an edition ofpigment UV prints at the finish satin varnishEach print powerfully reflects this reflection on the nature of destructive choices, questioning the fragility of our world in the face of thoughtless decisions.
