⚫ ⚪ #monochrome-monday #mono Untitled0209_ (2021) by Davide Balliano Plaster, gesso, and varnish on linen, 20 × 20" "Balliano’s meticulous paintings appear, upon first glance, clean and precise. However, closer inspection reveals scrapes and scratches that uncover the organic wooden surface underneath the layers of paint, as a decaying façade of abandoned modernistic intentions." https://www.davideballiano.com/

⬛ 🟩 #monochrome-monday #mono wwwwwwwww.jodi.org (1995) by JODI. This is the duo's first website, and consists of a maze of pages, written in HTML that are full of dead ends but also seem to be full of secrets. For example, the first page consists of unreadable green text on a black background. However, if you check out the the source code of the page you find what appears to be schematics of a nuclear bomb. One of my all-time favourite works - well worth exploring the website and pondering it's secrets and hidden warnings...

#monochrome-monday #mono "little boxes on the hillsides, mother", 2021 by @liasomething custom software (black and white, silent), computer, screen dimensions variable, landscape orientation. "Growing from an initial Processing sketch by way of the artist’s careful selection of angles, transparencies, and line weights, alongside deliberate retention of accidents and bugs, a virtually infinite sequence of house-like forms appears and disappears, sliding over each other in hypnotic rhythms as they make their way slowly down the screen." https://vimeo.com/942358583

#monochrome-monday #mono Subjektbeschleuniger III (2009) by Eno Henze ‘Subjektbeschleuniger’ employs traces of cosmic particles as a symbol for attempting to explain the world with scientific rationality. I remember first seeing these panel laser drawings in "HOLO 1" (2014) and still think about them often!

#monochrome-monday #mono Theatergoers #21 by @michaelperusse (on fxhash) Simple black and white blobs align to create delicate stories of an audience at their local theater. Follow their eyes in each piece to get started, but don't stare for too long——that's rude. Such a fun series, highly recommend!

#monochrome-monday #mono Dialog Box #104 by @duaneking (on fxhash) Inspired by the early Mac OS, the artwork presents an interface of two buttons, each symbolizing a choice steeped in 80s and 90s pop culture, from the serious to the lighthearted.
