For Traces, artist Marina Abramović was asked by WeTransfer’s digital arts platform, WePresent, to select five items to preserve for future generations. She chose the Rose of Jericho, quartz stones, a stone from Mars, the Vincent van Gogh painting The Starry Night, and the Susan Sontag book, Regarding the Pain of Others.

WeTransfer’s creative studio then turned her ideas into an immersive virtual time capsule using a combination of 3D execution, video, animation, sound design and text, ­accessible via a microsite on a computer or mobile phone. The experience was visited over half a million times in its first month and celebrates the artist’s creative process and life’s work as a pioneer of performance art.
