Everything that prevents the affirmation of the highest life and diminishes the power of being is criticized with passionate ardour: the temptation of fame and glory; the escape into entertainment and artificial paradises; the resignation and capitulation of thought in the face of today’s immense problems; the standardization of the spirit in the paradigm of common judgment; the passivity or the boredom-murderer who justifies the existence of reality TV, for example: “Crowds sate their hunger / Like hyenas seek revenge / On the torments and the terror / On the tears and blood of men”.
The Metaverse and NFTs are changing the face of art. Art had already been digitized with the development of certain technologies and applications like “Procreate” or “Tilt Brush” and the growing influence of artists like Jean Arno, Karol Kolodinski, Pete Harrison, Anna Zhilyaeva, David Waters, Mike Winkelmann, and Heiko Klug. What at first appeared to be only a trend is about to change art itself. The idea of “Chaosism,” a new artistic concept developed by Jean Arno and the Astrée collective and defined as “the embodiment of the complexity of life in the unity of art” could only be translated into reality through an advanced technology capable of multiplying the significant layers: digital art and the Metaverse.
Trophies is a collection of poems intertwined with hidden messages where you will question the world, life, existence and yourself through an awakened intellectual experience. The book of poems is the latest work by French poet, philosophy and artist Jean Arno. Arno is an influential artist from the artistic group, Astrée and he’s known for his poetry, digital art and philosophical aphorisms. The poetic aphorisms in Trophies are short statements of eternal truths. While reading the book, you’re forced to use intellect to reconstruct a line of reasoning to interpret hidden meaning in Arno’s work. When readers unfold the purpose of these hidden thoughts, they’re left with the feeling of being enriched.
Could you tell us more about your background? My background is atypical. I was lucky enough to be raised in a family that valued love and thought in all its forms of expression: philosophical, scientific, and artistic. I was a bright student, but I was reluctant to follow the rules of a school that I found uninteresting and outdated. I loved to read and create. I considered that I had more to learn from Homer, Plotinus, Horace, and Shakespeare than I did from this school. The classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Ecoles proved me wrong. Two teachers there changed my life. They pushed me to examine my thoughts and gave me the keys to express them. From that moment on, I wrote with more regularity. Find more info at Jean Arno.
The poet, like Nietzsche, reminds us of an obvious fact that we should never have forgotten: human beings reach their highest freedom as creators. However, we have moved away from this path because it requires qualities that are difficult master. High creation requires us not to succumb to the temptations of our time — the temptations that lead artists and intellectuals to produce only works that conform to a determined horizon of expectation, which are often uniform and superficial. The mind that wishes to produce exceptional thoughts must necessarily make an effort to “[persevere] in being” to use Spinoza’s words, or to overcome itself in creation. Readers must gather all their intellectual forces to reconstitute the reasoning contained in the final and triumphant poetic formula. Arno delivers these explanations of his poetic art in unpublished and hidden texts. In the manner of Leonardo da Vinci, the poet hides codes in his texts that lead to “sacred relics.”
