Children! Four years ago, in the midst of the first pandemic lockdown, I tried to process what was happening (spruce bark beetle outbreak x covid outbreak = havoc) through a 20 minute and 20 seconds long video, put together in just a week by means of an artist talk: https://youtu.be/pCSV9YyNKFA?feature=shared

Retracing the steps of my artistic trajectory keeps taking me back to my obsession with spirit photography of the late 1800s and early 1900s. This is technology as mediator for the invisible, the ‘occult’. This type of trick photography I tried to copy in the darkroom was my gateway to Photoshop. Image from 2002.

Off to the opening of the group show 16UP, celebrating 16 years of art space 38CC in the Dutch town of Delft. Happy to have The Three Motions of Loom tapestries included! The Three Motions are related to Fundamental Mechanics through their association with 16th century visual culture of my region.

On another note, I just found out the amazing Markus Selg has arrived on Tezos! https://objkt.com/tokens/KT1VwoVLNN8rKhUYrekUgLqxsACQ5ouHdQkc/0 If you don’t know his work, do look him up. Markus has been working on the cusp of installation art and theatre set design for a long time.

Honestly, the transactional focus of this app depresses me endlessly. I don’t even want to connect a wallet, or be part of a ‘crypto-community’. It feels cut-off, gamified, worse than Twitter, in a sense, almost perverse.

Yesterday, kids, marked my 3-year minting anniversary, starting with the Fundamental Mechanics series on Hic et Nunc. #1 was minted on April 10, 2021, objkt 28370. For me, it was an experiment, an exploration. I had no expectations whatsoever. I was baffled when I sold one immediately. Links below!

Hey children, this is ‘Nereda 2: a Hydromancy’, my latest video, here in an exhibition setting at SecondRoom in Antwerp. Very happy with the way the installation turned out.
