Animations by Jake Fried find physical form in an edition of monochromatic lenticulars.

Traversing digital and physical art, Open Eyes (Flower) transforms the illusory subjects and movements of Fried’s NFTs into an ever-shifting lenticular. The artist’s animations require painstaking repetition – drawn one layer at a time, by hand, before being scanned and combined into digital artworks. Eight individual frames have been used as the basis for the intricate three-part lenticular.

Each print is paired with an NFT of the same artwork. Claiming instructions will be shared with collectors after launch.

Many people think that technology is making us less human. But digital artist Jake Fried thinks the opposite. “Now in the NFT space, and as digital art communities grow, it’s like, we’re all in this together”, he says. “Art is essentially a communication device. It’s about humanity. This is what I love about technology and the internet”. This sense of human intimacy comes through in his art too. His hand-drawn animations are expressive and magical. They have a surrealist feel that plays around with rhythm and perspective. Even though you watch the films on a screen, they’re deeply human and emotional.
