Explore the evolving intersection of traditional sculpture, digital modeling, 3D printing, procedural generation, artificial intelligence, and immersive virtual spaces. The book examines how contemporary art moves between Apollonian order and Dionysian metamorphosis, balancing formal structure and organic transformation in the evolving language of sculpture.
It further investigates how concepts of authenticity and uniqueness are challenged in the digital era through technologies like NFTs, blockchain certification, and the emergence of hybrid artworks that simultaneously exist as physical matter, digital code, and metaverse experiences.
The volume is structured into four comprehensive parts. The first part begins with a historical and material perspective and explores the philosophical and material shift from classical forms to digital energy, addressing the interplay between Apollonian clarity and Dionysian fluidity, while introducing issues of uniqueness, dematerialization, and the role of digital code in contemporary aesthetics. The second part delves into the creative processes of virtual modeling, procedural generation, algorithmic form-making, and artificial growth as new logics of artistic creation, where algorithms collaborate with the artist to generate evolving, unpredictable forms, visual landscapes, and possible new or alien worlds. It also explores hybrid creative processes that combine AI-powered expansions, using platforms like Stable Diffusion Midjourney, DALL-E, and text-to-image models, resulting in hybrid artworks that exist simultaneously in physical, digital, and immersive dimensions.
The third part presents the artistic application of these processes through five fundamental creative themes: Energy, Landscapes, Architecture, Memory, and Future Worlds. Each theme gives shape to original artworks that merge traditional techniques, digital modeling, and AI-driven expansions, resulting in installations that explore symbolic, natural, and visionary dimensions. The fourth part investigates how blockchain, NFTs, and metaverse exhibition spaces redefine authenticity, ownership, and the display of art in an increasingly virtualized cultural landscape.
The book offers both theoretical and practical guidance on 3D modeling, procedural generation, AI-powered image synthesis, and 3D printing, while also addressing issues of authenticity, ownership, and virtual exhibition. By following these processes, artists and scholars will gain a comprehensive understanding of how contemporary art navigates the expanding intersection between matter, code, and imagination.
You Will
• Explore concepts of uniqueness, aura, authenticity, and the transformation of artwork in the digital and post-digital context
• Develop hybrid creative workflows integrating manual drawing, physical painting, and digital interventions
• Delve into new scenarios for certification and art presentation through blockchain, NFTs, the metaverse, and new forms of virtual exhibition
Who Is This Book For
This book is intended for artists, researchers, and creative professionals who are interested in exploring the intersection of traditional sculpture and emerging digital technologies. Readers should have a basic understanding of artistic practice but no advanced technical expertise is required.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
