Beeple’s $29 million NFT sculpture, Human One, offers an interactive, evolving digital art experience at Crystal Bridges Museum.
Mike Winkelmann, known in the art world as Beeple, is stirring up the digital art scene with the US unveiling of his innovative sculpture, Human One. Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, Arkansas, is the proud host of this unique digital spectacle. The artwork earned a breathtaking $29 million at a Christie’s auction in 2021 and is now ready for its American premiere.
Once under the ownership of Ryan Zurrer, a Swiss business enthusiast, Human One has been capturing hearts worldwide. From fascinating art buffs in Italy to impressing onlookers in Hong Kong, this digital masterpiece is now all set to charm its American audience. It will stand tall in Arkansas, enthralling art lovers until January 2024.
The centerpiece of Human One is a magnificent silver cuboid, with vibrant images cascading across its surfaces. The striking visuals depict an astronaut’s journey, illustrating diverse landscapes. This alone is a testament to Beeple’s artistic genius.
Human One: An Interactive Art Adventure
The fun doesn’t stop at just viewing the artwork. Crystal Bridges Museum guests are in for an unforgettable interactive experience.

Unlike traditional art pieces, Human One doesn’t represent a finished concept. Instead, Beeple views it as an open-ended dialogue with its viewers. The digital canvas of Human One allows Beeple to introduce fresh layers of meaning continuously. This fluid approach to art echoes the ever-evolving nature of the digital realm, marking Beeple as a trailblazer in this medium.
