May 27, 2024 – #NFTimbre2.1

In 2024, La Poste will issue a new series of #NFTimbre2 stamps: the 1st series of French NFT stamps generated by Artificial Intelligence.

While maintaining the characteristics of the NFTimbre1, the #NFTimbre2 is the first French stamp which combines philately and “digital art”, through a triptych: #NFTimbre2.1 launched on May 27, 2024, then 2.2 in September, and finally 2.3 in November.

This series of 3 #NFTimbre2 allows a longer space-time to discover “a story” and offer a unique video created especially for each stamp by finding its epilogue on the NFT 2.3 stamp. The novelty of this NFTimbre2 will rhyme with rarity, dear to all collectors, with a limited edition of 30,000 copies per NFT stamp.

In this creative context, La Poste has chosen to be accompanied for the first time by AI, as an innovative tool or process in the artistic creation process of the stamp. The meeting of the physical (the real) and the digital is at the heart of this story which is part of a new postal collection. In this series, each stamp represents a different moment in time, a facet of the concept of communication and digital technology, thus offering a richer thematic exploration. A more complex creation/design process: taking into account the rhythm, balance and harmony between the three visuals (3 blocks of 1 stamp), while ensuring that each visual also lives as an individual work .
