The TREE OF KNOWLEDGE engages viewers with a dynamic experience, allowing them to navigate between order and chaos by influencing the representation of reality through various data streams.
Beeple expresses his artistic philosophy, stating, 'I am interested in artwork that helps you discover who you are versus telling you what to think,' reflecting his approach to art as a means of personal exploration.
The installation includes a 'choose violence' button with a limited number of uses, prompting viewers to confront a moral choice about the destruction and regeneration of the tree imagery, highlighting themes of control and consequence.
Proceeds from the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE support meaningful causes, including food justice initiatives and environmental protection, linking art with activism through his collaboration with organizations like Big Green and Art into Acres.
