About the drop

This collection of the 30 NFTs are the first to be presented on Verisart’s newly launched SuperRare Space. The NFTs are released to coincide with the opening of Universal Everything’s “Lifeforms” exhibition at 180 Studios, 180 The Strand, their biggest solo show in the UK. Each NFT is adapted from Maison Autonome, which is premiering at the exhibition. In the generative video work, Universal Everything push the limits of visual technological innovations to create a fantasy fashion show. These endlessly delightful characters strut towards the viewer in a randomized combination of form, size and material. Each has their own anthropomorphic walk and personality, as well as a unique garment that could only exist in the digital sphere. Their outrageous, seductive couture takes the language of fashion and makes it oversized, fluid and truly space-age. An image of the future that is positivist, while at the same time questioning the role and need of designers at all.

Universal Everything are an international media art and design collective established in 2004.

Using emerging display technologies as their canvas, UE produce screen-based artworks that subvert cinematic CGI, physics simulations and real-time gaming graphics, to create new forms of moving image. Their work is at times immersive and interactive, often journeying into augmented or virtual reality. It exists at the balance between abstract and figurative – the point at which a hint of life emerges, and technology becomes soulful.

With a background in graphic design and music video direction, UE repurposes the seductive language of modernist design and high-gloss consumerist style into a vibrant, figurative aesthetic. Through this stylized approach to moving image, they explore human behaviors — evolution, parades, the dynamics of crowds – as well as diversity of nature, emotion and a future-positive outlook.

Alongside its artistic practice, the studio engages in collaborations with brands and organizations including future R&D with Apple, immersive experiences with Hyundai, generative audiovisual apps with Radiohead and interactive spaces with Zaha Hadid Architects.

The works are available in limited edition as digital files, NFTs, bespoke wall-mounted displays and site-specific projections.
