Crystal Bridges
Museum of American Art

JULY 28, 2023 – MARCH 17, 2024
CURATOR: XUXA RODRIGUEZ

From July 28, 2023, to March 17, 2024, HUMAN ONE made its U.S. museum debut at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. This hybrid digital sculpture combines four 16K resolution screens within a sleek metal frame, displaying an ever-changing digital landscape—a symbol of humanity’s first steps into the metaverse.

Originally sold for $29 million at Christie’s in 2021, HUMAN ONE is never static. Beeple has committed to remotely updating the piece throughout his life, ensuring it evolves with each new exhibition.

Following showings at M+ in Hong Kong and Castello di Rivoli in Italy, this exhibition at Crystal Bridges marked an important moment for digital art in U.S. museums.

“Unlike traditional artworks frozen in time, HUMAN ONE is an ongoing conversation—one that I will continue adding meaning to over time.” – Beeple
