Navette by Alexis André

Navette manufacture

Navette explores a juxtaposition of virtual and reality by fusing a digital generative process and a physical loom. This collection offers a voyage between the worlds, a shuttle weaving between the two. Using a combination of digital techniques adapted for the physical world, Navette plays with the notions of series and unique pieces, but also of the inherent randomness of the digital realm —featuring the infamous “glitch”. Generative art thus becomes a way of taking a shuttle to the edge of a new universe.

Navette was launched via a Dutch Auction mint on March 2, 2023. The first eight wallets to mint a digital artwork were eligible to claim a physical tapestry based on their original NFT. The mint closed on March 10, 2023. Only 200 digital artworks exist. If you are a Navette NFT holder and are interested in a physical tapestry to complement your digital artwork, please contact us.
