What happens to the image when it is no longer tied to a source?

For @ArtBasel | Zero 10, @JanRobertLeegte presents images that emerge from the medium itself: no source, no training set, no photograph underneath - just code and codec.

@BrayKvn They exist simultaneously, continuously shaping and influencing one another.

Sculpture The One That Tails (2026) by @BrayKvn (Kévin Bray) was presented on De Sokkel in Antwerp for four days, during Antwerp Art Weekend.

[Upstream Gallery @GalleryUpstream]

@BrayKvn In this way, the sculptures reflect the condition in which we live. Digital life is our reality — but how do we engage with it? The works do not offer a single, definitive answer, but instead reveal how the digital and the physical are no longer separate domains.
