TIME: The Future of Business (Beeple Edition)

Artist statement

"For our May 10th / 17th 2021 issue, artist Mike Winkelmann (aka Beeple) wanted to take our readers inside his canvas to depict the stratospheric acceleration of the digitization of our world by creating an image that focused on his artistic process. The cover image depicts his actual computer interface mid-design, complete with a wireframe render of a figure interacting on the left and a more complete version on the right. He created this digital world using Cinema 4D and OctaneRender software powered by nearly a dozen Nvidia graphics cards." — D.W. Pine, Creative Director, TIME
