The Poetic Preservation of Emotion – Néo Valen’s Emochains

In the ever-changing landscape of contemporary art, where technology and emotion converge in unprecedented ways, Néo Valen’s work stands out as a stirring testament to the ephemerality of human feeling. His Emochains are not mere paintings; they are emotional artifacts, capturing fleeting states of mind and preserving the fleeting essence of human experience with striking force.

A Revolutionary Poetic Gesture

Néo Valen’s artistic ambition is an act of preservation, a poetic resistance to the erasure of emotions in our hyper-digitized era. His acrylic paintings on aluminum plates go far beyond visual composition: they are vibrating receptacles, containing the memory of an emotion, frozen at the very moment of its birth.

But the true audacity of these works goes beyond the material: each Emochain is inscribed in the blockchain, guaranteeing the intangibility and immutable preservation of the moment when the emotion came to life. This fusion of technology and poetic intent creates an unbreakable bond between the collector and the moment of pure emotion, forever etched in the digital ether.

Emotion as the Essence of Collection

Collectors seek uniqueness, rarity, and artistic vision. Emochains embody absolute singularity—no two are alike, because no emotion is ever repeated. The electromagnetic radiation recorded in each piece is the indelible imprint of a fleeting feeling, transformed into an aesthetic entity.

To acquire an Emochain is not simply to own a painting; it is to hold in your hands a fragment of time, a preserved emotion, an artistic vestige of the soul. Each work is an invitation to reconnect with the raw beauty of human feeling, an experience that transcends the simple acquisition of an object of art.

An Investment in Poetry and Immutability

Beyond their artistic power, Emochains mark a revolution in the world of art collecting. Their blockchain certification gives them indisputable authenticity, guaranteeing their provenance thanks to unfalsifiable technology. As the art world moves towards digital sustainability, Néo Valen positions itself at the forefront of art, memory and technology, redefining what it means to own a work of art.

To collect an Emochain is to preserve emotion, to become a guardian of the human essence. It is to believe in the eternal value of poetry, in the beauty of what makes us deeply alive. It is to embrace art not as a mere object, but as a vibrant testimony of what it means to feel.

For those who understand that art should not only be seen, but also felt, Néo Valen’s Emochains are not mere acquisitions—they are encounters with eternity.

Emotion on demand with a simple click

Valen’s artistic approach transcends the conventions of traditional art by using a simple click to give birth to a visual emotion that is as subtle as it is enriching. This interactive approach, both innovative and inspiring, immerses us in a unique experience where each work becomes a living act of creation.
 
By proposing emochaines, Valen subtly addresses the challenges of our modern society, where aesthetics and the depth of beauty are often reduced to superficial standards. The click, here, is not just a mechanical gesture; it becomes a powerful symbol of our tendency to want everything immediately, without taking the time to appreciate the complexity and richness of the birth of an emotion.
 
Behind each beating heart represented in his works, Valen plants a seed of a Beech tree, thus capturing the very essence of life and emotion. This beating heart, which beats to the same rhythm in each painting, symbolizes the continuous birth, the vital pulsation that connects all the dimensions of his artistic universe.
 
Through this approach, Valen invites us to reflect on our relationship to creation and birth. He pushes us to recognize, understand and fully experience the birth of an emotion, rather than consuming it quickly and superficially. Each of Valen’s works is an invitation to rediscover the value of creation, art and authentic emotions.
 
Through his emochaines, Valen offers a poignant critique of our instant consumer society, where everything is accessible in one click, but where the depth of the birth of an emotion and its value risk being lost. By planting a seed of being to capture its emotion, Valen offers us a profound and poetic vision of birth and life, thus creating a unique, introspective and aesthetically enriching artistic experience.

The art of provocation

Valen, an enigmatic and daring NFT artist, has made his mark on the art scene by creating deviant microsystems that defy established norms. His ability to automate and normalize provocative experiments has made him an artist in his own right, whose work has generated admiration and controversy. Valen is not afraid to challenge the system, and this resistance has earned him unexpected encounters with censorship, raids, tax audits, and lawsuits. Yet, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, he constantly finds new ways to express his artistic vision under changing identities.

An Interactive Provocation

Valen’s work pushes the boundaries of the interaction between art and viewer. By encouraging people to click to create anger, intelligence, sleep, drunkenness, or other microsystems, from the comfort of their own homes, the artist harnesses technology to generate raw and intense emotions. The simple act of clicking becomes the trigger for a chain reaction, where for example a stone is symbolically thrown into the pond to provoke anger. This interactive experience challenges the conventions of traditional art and pushes viewers to question their own emotional response.

Technology as a Tool of Expression:

Valen skillfully exploits technology to bring his ideas to life. Using an electronic chip connected to an NFT (what he calls an emochain), the artist captures and immortalizes the emotions generated by his creations. The electromagnetic radiation captured on the baryonic surface of the chip is thus integrated into the blockchain, providing an indelible trace of physical anger, the sleep of intelligence, beauty and more. This fusion of art and technology pushes the boundaries of creativity and opens new perspectives for artistic expression.
