Hi everyone, I’m part of the Verse team.
We’ve had some galleries and artists enquire about using our tech to power sales on their own sites over the years.
We’ve recently been testing such a system with @heft_gallery, and are soon opening it up to a few new partners - message me if you want to give it a go. ✨
Thank u everyone who supported this show. Even if it was just a like. It’s really hard doing this on your own. (With awesome team at verse providing platform) hate how dominant energy revolves around sales. But super grateful 4 all the great wider dialogue that came out of this.

7/7 If you’ll be in Los Angeles, we’d be happy to welcome you at Felix Art Fair. For further information about the works, please contact [email protected].
6/7 All four artists chart an evolution, from the internet's early utopian promise to its current algorithmic complexity, representing an ongoing investigation into how digital culture continues to reshape aesthetic possibilities.
5/7 Evil Biscuit represents the generation that inherited this lineage. Emerging out of the Web3, his digital collages compress a dizzying number of references and images into new, unstable compositions embracing the network's logic of appropriation, recombination, memetic mutation.
4/7 They converged on a specific approach: appropriation, manipulation, and endless reproduction as core artistic strategies. The internet as terrain where virtual and physical space collapse.
3/7 Rafman garnered attention by excavating Google Street View and virtual worlds. Cortright built digital paintings from layers harvested online. Ito endlessly reproduced a stock photo, probing originality, authorship, and value under conditions of infinite circulation.
2/7 Rafman and Cortright were central figures in this emerging movement, developing new ways of working around authorship and circulation shaped by the web; Ito’s practice engages these questions from a different vantage point.
1/7 We’re excited to present four artists whose work emerged directly from the internet. What became known as 'post-internet art' emerged in the late 2000s with a generation of artists who began treating the internet not as subject matter, but as the fundamental condition of contemporary practice.
