AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

With "We are here", urban art takes ownership of a technological relic to convey a message of resilience and presence. This singular work, composed of an assembly of nine floppy disks, reinterprets the original use of this now obsolete object to make it a medium of collective memory. The grid formed by the floppy disks creates a fragmented structure, a kind of vintage digital mosaic where each piece becomes a fragment of a larger puzzle.

On this singular surface, stencil work marks the support in an indelible way, affirming a strong identity in the midst of the chaos of obsolescence. The title "We are here" resonates like a rallying cry, a claim of existence in a world that quickly forgets its tools as its actors. By using this magnetic medium from another time, I seek to link the ephemerality of graffiti to the conservation of data, emphasizing that art, just like information, struggles not to be erased.

The relief of the floppy disks, with their metal shutters and textured plastic, adds a tactile dimension and an unprecedented depth to the painting. The work does not merely demand to be seen; it evokes material nostalgia while remaining decisively anchored in the present through its graphic strength. It is a celebration of survival, a testament by the object that, despite the passage of time and changing technologies, we are still here.

Supplied with its certificate of authenticity.
