{"name":"The Expansion Of Desire","description":"In 2001, I won the TORAY International Digital Art Award (US$10,000) for the original version of this image. Here is the ultimate iteration. With this achievement, I helped to establish digital art as the true basis of current art.\n\nHere is the rationale of this image: Flat art forms that visualize volumetric objects compress three dimensions into two, collapsing space into a plane. Instead of portraying an object or event, this abstraction suggests the aesthetic longing to cheat nature, portraying the universe as flat, then envisioning its extension into creative space by the expansion of desire.","image":"ipfs://QmYJJZAeYxDQf4jFLCMdsbSAiTynKLP5AXMjSYS1iY8JdE","artifactUri":"ipfs://QmYJJZAeYxDQf4jFLCMdsbSAiTynKLP5AXMjSYS1iY8JdE","external_url":"https://www.1stdibs.com/nft/art/expansion-desire/id-n_eXGBMItwFW/","animation_url":null,"created_year":"2004","attributes":[{"trait_type":"edition","value":"1/1"},{"trait_type":"medium","value":"JPEG Digital Image"},{"trait_type":"year created","value":"2004"},{"trait_type":"category","value":"art"},{"trait_type":"artist","value":"H.
