Best rated contemporary poetry with Jean Arno? Jean Arno is an influential artist from the artistic group, Astrée. Primarily known for his poetry and philosophical aphorisms, he defends the idea that man is, in essence, a creator. Shaping ‘the inextinguishable fire of life’ thus makes up the sacred mission of man, as a poet. He stands alongside those who continually battle against the invasive and deadly forces of contempt for the world and for life, and alongside those who put their creative forces to the service of the highest affirmation of life, those who believe that ‘the impossible can only ever occur by attempting it’.

But above all, as a pioneer of chaosism (of which he is the theorist) and of a cryptic art or “palimpsestic” art (as he likes to define it), he multiplies the levels of reading in order to “give back to our reality the complexity which essentially constitutes it”. His NFTs’ digital canvases are also known to contain codes which, when deciphered, open a new aesthetic experience (Herodiad, Vanity …), reserved for those “whose soul is rich enough to make a universe out of our material world”. It is also a question “of insufflating into the spirit the ardour which animates the reflection, and provoking by the enigma the sparkling fires of curiosity which deepen what remains for him elusive and unintelligible”.
The Metaverse and NFTs are changing the face of art. Art had already been digitized with the development of certain technologies and applications like “Procreate” or “Tilt Brush” and the growing influence of artists like Jean Arno, Karol Kolodinski, Pete Harrison, Anna Zhilyaeva, David Waters, Mike Winkelmann, and Heiko Klug. What at first appeared to be only a trend is about to change art itself. The idea of “Chaosism,” a new artistic concept developed by Jean Arno and the Astrée collective and defined as “the embodiment of the complexity of life in the unity of art” could only be translated into reality through an advanced technology capable of multiplying the significant layers: digital art and the Metaverse.
What forms will the arts take in the digital universes now commonly called the Metaverse? NFTs (non-fungible token) artwork, protected by unique numbers, is now unequivocally the future of the arts. For example, suppose the punk-geek universe dominated the NFT art market in the 90s and 2000s with its video game, comics, manga heroes, heroic fantasy, and science fiction. In that case, it is now competing with artists who produce the new art of the 21st century. Such art includes satirism like Bansky’s iconic street art, with its strong criticism of capitalism and mass public manipulation at the hands of politicians and the media.
Tell us about your trophies ? What themes do you address? Trophies is a collection of poetic aphorisms. As I explained in the book’s hidden preface, the short thought-form became necessary because it forces the reader to reconstruct a line of reasoning. My poetic thoughts imply an intellectual effort of interpretation and deepening on the part of my readers. I share with Nietzsche the idea that it is better to not be understood than misunderstood and that one should write only for those whose minds are capable of unfolding and enriching. My poetry is profoundly metaphysical and ontological; that is to say, it embodies (in the mystical form of the symbol) the forces that move invisibly in the misty regions of the inexpressible and try to accomplish the high destinies of being.

Some books leave you with the strange impression that you’ve been awakened. Reading Jean Arno’s Trophies is an intellectual experience, as the author claims on his official website www.jeanarno.com, from which the informed reader comes out brighter. His claim would be arrogant if his verses, which sometimes touch the sublime and sometimes resemble Baudelaire’s These Dreams of Stone, were not so deep and full of optimistic faith in the power of the human spirit: “That each one can throne majestically in his own skies, as a splendid Sphinx dominates its desert! Indeed, the poetic aphorisms that Jean Arno offers require an intellectual effort, as he said himself : “the greatest truths are conquered”.
