Now they’re much more literal and a lot of the time they’re about current events. I recently did a picture about Daft Punk, because Daft Punk just broke up. So things like that are very timely.”Some of Winkelmann's works were incorporated into Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2019 ready-to-wear collection.

The dynamic work shows the first human born inside the metaverse, a 3D virtual world accessible only through the internet. The traveller in an astronaut suit treks forward in an endless, evolving virtual landscape shown in a spinning box-like structure with four LED screens. The journey is a metaphor for human progress, which reminds us of the continued blurring of our own digital and physical existence. HUMAN ONE is an ongoing conversation in response to current events and interests over the course of the artist’s life.Small, Zachary (March 4, 2022).
