Berlin-based artist Manuel Rossner is known for his digital objects and spaces that draw attention to the similarities between the analogue and digital worlds and experiment with the materiality of the digital.

With his Surprisingly series (2020-present), he has found a way to show the unique qualities of the digital material. Although the virtual world consists of a collection of cryptographic signs, the digital material mimics what we know from the physical world. It grows, jumps, multiplies, melts or ricochets.

The series consists of 100 unique NFTs created via manifold.xyz on the Ethereum blockchain. The 3D objects consist of 100 unique shapes in different colours and with different dimensions, painted by the artist using virtual reality glasses. Video loops simulating the melting and jumping of the respective shapes exist for each unique object and can be purchased as an option. 25 holders of the 100 NFTs can have their work physically realised together with the artist as a painted CNC milling for an additional fee.

Three of the 25 possible physical works have already been materialised and were part of exhibitions at the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the KÖNIG GALERIE in Berlin and "Art and the Blockchain" exhibition in Amsterdam. Of these, Surprisingly Yellow #2 (4/100 resp. 3/25) will be on preview at VAN HAM from 27 to 30 May.

VAN HAM will exclusively present a unique piece from the Surprisingly series by Manuel Rossner. For the first time, a set consisting of an NFT of the 3D object Surprisingly Red #3 (14/100) together with three further NFTs with video loops based on the same form will be offered.
Until four weeks after the auction, the buyer can decide to have the motif of the NFT materialised by means of CNC milling for the fee of the production price of EUR 24,800 (incl. 7% VAT, invoice via artist) (dimensions 3D object: 62 x 47 x 15cm).
