Introducing a New Visual Language: Unique Virtual Textile Models in the Crypto Art Scene
“BEGINNINGS” showcases an artistic series of 3D virtual textile models, created by Eva Iszoro. She generates these models using flat patterns and cuts that are random, accidental, and abstract, adhering to the principles of her own Accidental Cutting experimental pattern cutting method. This Crypto art series, uniquely shaped and original, was crafted entirely from a single flat pattern. The diverse volumes of this NFT art series emerge from various combinations of this single pattern, demonstrating creativity and innovation. This series shares a conceptual connection with the visual poetics in EMPTINESS, which explores innovative design boundaries too.

Bridging Artistic Images and Deeper Concepts: Exploring Meanings Beyond the Visual
This 3D virtual textile art collection actively conveys the sensation of something new being born, reminiscent of early embryonic growth that is both unsettling and captivating. The collection’s volume and texture open the door to diverse interpretations, ranging from pleasant and positive to disturbing, sometimes even leading viewers to rejection.
Consequently, this artwork immerses the viewer in a dualistic experience, with interpretations shifting from serene and constructive to feelings of unease and aversion. It presents a multifaceted encounter that captures the essence of New Media Art, where digital forms challenge and expand the viewer’s perceptions and emotional responses.
The art pieces within ‘Beginnings’ purposefully provoke a wide spectrum of responses. Each piece evokes a multitude of interpretations, from being delightfully captivating to provocatively alienating, thus engaging the audience in a profound contemplative experience. This exemplifies the power of artistic images: their ability to allure with beauty and simultaneously challenge by presenting the unfamiliar.
Furthermore, this collection epitomizes the essence of New Media Art. It pushes the boundaries of traditional artistic expression, standing out for its innovation and artistic exploration of new technological possibilities. In doing so, it showcases the transformative power of 3D art in the digital era.
