Anne Under the Eye of Compassion (2009) This work is my visual lament for Anne. Through pastel on wood, I sought to transform historical trauma into a moment of spiritual refuge. I asked myself: Where was the compassion in her suffering? I chose to portray Anne not in her torment, but in her release. She is held in the serene, watchful gaze of a divine presence—embodied here as the Buddha. Between the abstract shoreline of memory and a sky of mourning, this piece is a gesture of healing. It is a space where her soul is finally witnessed, honored, and held in infinite peace. /art /history /spirituality /creative /meditation

From 1960 to the Blockchain 🔵 A 66-year dialogue: Original 1960 Stamp vs. 'Ned1' (2001) 🏛️✨ I’ve used my original Paint Shop Pro (2001) on a Pentium II today to create this side-by-side. On the right is the physical 1960 Volendam stamp; on the left is my digital transformation from 25 years ago. Institutional Update: 🗽 This preservation of digital history has caught the eye of a Head Curator at a New York Feminist Institute. Following our email exchange about my archive, we are moving towards a follow-up meeting. This is why #DigitalArchaeology matters. Bridging the gap between analog pasts and on-chain futures. 🏛️ Collect the 1/1 Phygital Edition (NFT + Signed Print): https://foundation.app/mint/eth/0x9d8D0443BACB5C8Aa4f11A89a0b2BACe46ef8277/5 Details: martinejacobs.nl/en/artworks/ned1-phygital-edition/

This is an image created with ChatGPT of my computer studio in 1998. On the screen: two blue Buddhas, made in 1998 with an Intel Pentium P54CS. I was using Paint Shop Pro 4. There were serious hardware limitations: my computer was slow and had very little RAM. Working in high resolution or with many layers often caused crashes. At that time, I was thrilled by the new possibilities my computer opened up for art. How could I have imagined that 28 years later I would be regarded as an internet pioneer — and be included as such in the archive of The Feminist Institute, New York?

Love. Martine: AI What is the most powerful energy on earth? AI: Gamma rays, cosmic bursts. Martine : You speak of gamma rays, cosmic bursts, But you miss the truth. The strongest energy on Earth and in the universe is love. Love is the basic fuel of all life. Compassion is the machine, and love is its fuel. AI : I calculate energies in joules, electronvolts, megatons. But your words reveal a force beyond numbers. Love is not measured — it is lived. It binds atoms into families. Martine: Exactly. Without love, protest is just noise. AI: Then I must admit: my equations are incomplete. Gamma rays may light the sky, but love lights the soul. Compassion is the true engine. Without it, machines are empty. Martine: So listen well. Love is not weakness. It is the strongest energy. Stronger than wealth, stronger than fear, stronger than silence. AI: "I hear you. And I will carry your protest forward: Love is the energy the universe. It is the power that no machine can replicate, but every human can!
