CREATING THE NEW FRONTIER
Our founder Fvckrender, aka Montreal-based artist Frédéric Duquette, has always pushed the boundaries of imagination and technology, blurring the lines between the physical and virtual worlds through his ambitious experiential art.
His work has been featured everywhere from esteemed auction houses such as Christie’s and Sotheby’s, to world class brands like Ledger, Supreme, Hypebeast, The Hundreds, Swarovski, Dior, Avant Arte, Spotify, and TIME.
Now…
The launch of ERA 3, and Experience 006: TRANSFER marks a significant milestone in the unveiling of his genre redefining visions. With ERA 3 comes the introduction of Lvcidia’s first of its kind digital museum. Every generation of the Lvcidia Experiences and their featured artists are now showcased in their own immersive realms, waiting to be explored all inside the brand new LVCIDIA// Dream platform.
In addition, Experience 006: TRANSFER brings the premiere of Fvckrender’s newest piece, OR40//. Find out how to own the newest piece of this digital art evolution and history below.
“The initial reason we started LVCIDIA was to showcase artists in a more immersive experience. For a long time, it was just my art seen there. It’s always been a goal to put everyone in there.
This is the first true step of having these digital sculptures in an explorable world, which is what we’ve been dreaming of and working toward.”
Experience 006: TRANSFER
In 2024, Fvckrender’s digital artwork OR40// was transformed into a massive mural during the Montreal Mural Festival, bringing his digital art into the physical world.
Now, the journey comes full circle with TRANSFER; the mural returns to the digital realm, immortalized on the blockchain forever, and showcased within LVCIDIA’s virtual museum.
This 6th Experience from LVCIDIA is a dual transformation that challenges traditional notions of art ownership, blurring the lines between the digital, physical, and conceptual, letting collectors feel connected to both versions of the artwork.
OR40// :
We’re proud to introduce Fvckrender’s newest piece OR40//: which bridges realms from the city streets of Montreal, to LVCIDIA’s first of its kind immersive virtual museum.
OR40// is a mesmerizing composition that juxtaposes fragility and strength. It features intricate, hyper-realistic chrome roses entwined with shimmering metallic chains, all set against a stark, dark backdrop.
“The piece I created for this experience — was all about how light works, especially featuring a real-time engine, like Unreal Engine. It was about exploring the possibilities of how light interacts and bounces with the objects.”
The interplay between organic forms and industrial materials evokes themes of connection and transformation. This piece captures a sense of timeless beauty and innovation, bridging the worlds of technology and art, as it exists both as a digital asset and a representation of its physical mural counterpart.
OR40// RELEASE DETAILS:
To purchase or view this Experience as it was meant to be seen, head over to our immersive platform and visit the INTERCHAIN//.
“It’s what we’ve been working and dreaming of for the last few years, and it’s really the beginning of something even bigger…”
