Accompanying my solo show NGMI (De.Groen, NL, June-Sept) is a compilation containing a selection of moving image works from my @TezosFoundation NFT collection, projected as a loop in the art space's media basement.
Here they are 🥳:

The void is infinite
(Do you see me seeing you seeing me?)
Edgar often uses their work as spells: the pulsating colors are designed to hypnotize the viewer. Here, the powers of text & image move way beyond mere 'image consumption'.

Naked Brilliance

Grail Aflame
The Heart of the World
Promoted, shadow-banned social media posts
A series of short musings blending the language of commercial advertisement with philosophy from another world.

Belle de guerre
I keep hearing the sound of maracas in this .gif by the ever-so delightful Lorna Mills.
(Taking this opportunity to shamelessly remind you all of a short text I wrote on one of her other works: hart-magazine.be/artikels/cofveve-en)

Cosmic time Share
(Training video for terrestrial communication)
So many questions arise from this 9 second video. This eerie introduction to a soap opera from space is as confusing as it is fascinating. Who are these 'people'?

SUNSET
As a large scale projection, there's a cerebral quality to this work, emulating more the experience of a sunset than attempting capture it. Nicolas' moiré patterns simulate the vibration of solar heat. Sunglasses on!

HALO I
HALO is a trilogy revisiting an early video, Camp, from 1998. In the 23 years between both works, the world has changed; the distortion of the moon by the heat of a campfire has lost its innocence in a heating world.

Untitled (Rhythm in a Landscape Painting)
Claudia's meditative work takes an investigation into painting to a parallel space where it becomes so much more. Here, the unsettling void of the virtual x, y, z axes has become the canvas.

oracle [2] [delNorte]
One of the most fascinating techniques available, at least to me, is photogrammetry. Justin captured this redwood tree in 2017 and reconstructed it in an almost fairytale-like, pulsating, hallucinant scene.

This is part of a series using a stylized computer screen as a canvas. This desktop view is pleasantly empty (as opposed to most of our desktops, I suppose), and the progress bar loading nothing becomes meditative.

Astrozoology
This work by Alfie Dwyer is a multidimensional Rubik's cube. Honestly, I could have this on repeat the whole day, not just because of its impressive technical wizardry, but the very idea of astrozoology is quite appealing!

Equally enigmatic as they are wise is Gozo, one of the first likeminded artists I came across in this space. Gozo's works seemed to compliment my first series of mints paying tribute to alchemist emblema.

Artist and prolific collector Chris Coleman shares my fascination with photogrammetry, accentuating the decay of flower bouquets by using ever-flawed scanned models, which seem to be born in ruins.

The term 'reaction-diffusion' alone sounds endlessly intriguing to me. Here, sound and visuals merge; I imagine dolphins singing, and, sure, I hear the crystalline pitch of lazurite!

A great example of art x activism. The description says it all: it serves to remind protestors to cover their face during demonstrations. The work raised money to donate to protesters in Colombia.

Smoke / Signal
In this work, Rick seemingly lifts the curtain of digital wizardry, but upon closer inspection this 'behind the scenes' doesn't make sense at all, because his virtual set up simulates a physical studio. Much to unpack here.

Failure is Fun
As a fan of loops and out of a certain sensitivity to symmetry, I ended the program where it started: with Edgar. I show students this video, because allowing yourself to 'fail' is probably the hardest thing to do.

And thus this thread ends, but not before I direct you to the whole of my eclectic collection. I made a careful selection of various types of moving image art in function of the space, the flow, and the audience. This meant 'killing' many darlings.
