Intro

Synthetic Memory is a video of about 22 seconds in portrait format, in monochrome. A mass of light and dark planes shifts across the frame, cut by fine scan lines, with small lines of text just visible beneath the surface.

It was created for Digital Mythology and released through 8NAP Art on OpenSea in 2026.

Concept

The programme’s guiding question is «In a world of infinite information and impulses, what carries enough meaning to become myth?». The work’s title proposes one answer: a memory that is made rather than remembered.

The pieces were created for a dialogue between artist legacy, physical space and digital art, set in a museum built to house the pre-Hispanic collection of Diego Rivera.

Process

The frames show stacked, displaced bands of grey that resemble terrain, with faint lines of text near the lower left.

Specific tools and steps have not been published.

Medium

Video, delivered as an NFT on Ethereum under the Digital Mythology collection by 8NAP Art. The token is an ERC-1155. The OpenSea page lists a supply of 49 for this item.

The programme itself brought together generative art, artificial intelligence, glitch, cinema, post-photography, stereoscopic 3D and interactive work.
