First used in 2011 in the video work M.I.R.I.A.M., created in collaboration with Orelha Negra (and still visible on the walls of Fábrica Braço de Prata), the acts of destruction were captured with cameras that record 2,000 frames per second.

And if, today, these collective debates also take place in the digital world, the natural path for Vhils – a passionate explorer of technologies – would be for his body of work to migrate there as well. “Layers” is the name of the digital collection that allowed the artist to reach new audiences around the world with a series of digital artworks that invite participation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 1.5em;\"\u003eIn this body of works, Vhils incorporated generative art into his practice - a type of art in which the artist defines certain rules, and the data system generates infinite combinations from them. Using photographs of his characteristic torn billboards, Vhils built an algorithmic system that creates works with the same aesthetic as his posters (naturally, in collaboration with other digital specialists, such as the DRP platform).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 1.5em;\"\u003eAny individual, from their own device, can generate a unique and unpredictable artwork by Vhils, choosing to reveal or keep hidden one, two or three billboard layers. The result takes shape as the collector engages with the project, being able to make increasingly personalised decisions about their piece. At the end of the process, the collector decides whether their work will remain solely in digital format as an NFT – a virtual contract that links Vhils’ work permanently to its new collector – or whether it will be printed as a physical artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eterno Dev","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47096513593567,"sku":"0","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/9529\/2639\/files\/VHILS_Threshold_CreditJosePandoLucas__54_4332775c-ad47-418c-be09-acf3a02025bf_2.webp?v=1758633024"},{"product_id":"adn-digital","title":"ADN Digital","description":"\u003cp\u003eUrban art has always been defined by its presence in public spaces — its essence lies in \u003cstrong\u003ebeing accessible, visible, and part of the collective experience. \u003c\/strong\u003eWith the advent of the digital age, it is expanding into new realms.
