Eca, the artist of augmented works
The transition from traditional art to augmented art is, for me, essential in our time. Traditional art no longer allows us to deeply account for the complexity of the world in which we live.

Stick to Time, be as close as possible to what we observe and facilitate its transcription requires using an appropriate medium.
Everything is designed to avoid the loss of information.
To create an augmented work, I had to invent a new material composed of information and physical emotion.
I conceptualized phygital matter in 2012, a mix of information and emotion, enabled by the advancement of new technologies.
Each of your clicks on the internet leaves a trace, a piece of information. Arsen Eca uses this information and will associate it with an emotion that he will produce and connect by radio frequency to the emotion produced.
He has created his own poetic clicks, to invite you to “feed” the system.
The information collected is pure. Everything is carefully collected and listed. It is also synthesized in the form of an emochain, a visual representation of this information.
Arsen Eca makes this information phygital material that he will use to create his works
Each work of the artist is fashioned from phygital material, known as emochain. This material, central to his creative process, gives life to autonomous works, registered in the blockchain. Acquiring a work of the artist means appropriating a living object that interacts with our daily lives in a subtle and influential way.
