Opening of COMPOSITION #100 by Marcel Schwittlick @schwittlick_ in cooperation with DAM Berlin. Great show, very worth seeing!
With @hansdehlinger and @lasern
The rumour has been going around for a while, but it is now in the open. There will be a museum exhibition in Basel this spring about Vera Molnar. It is at the @kunstmuseumbs https://t.co/yWW5mkeixw
Excellent interview!
"The second thing is that downtown Palo Alto is the epicenter. [...] It is like an epicenter of some of the world’s most creative engineering [...] But there's not enough design. Design and beauty have been missed. So it was a way for us to bring that back."
Here's one of my favorite editions, available at a great price on the secondary market.

There are only 50 editions. It was first released on Aug 7, 2023, in collaboration with @proof_xyz, as part of their Grail series.

Red barrels in some port city. How industrial scenes sadden me… and yet how they draw me in. It smells of metal, of iron, of rust, even faintly of fish. Seagulls cry overhead. The usual. I wish I lived by the sea.
We are improving the collector experience on Raster every single day.
Alongside performance optimisations and small bug fixes, here's what we shipped this week:
• Dark mode (toggle in footer)
• More art: tokens from the following platforms are now indexed and mapped to artist profiles: @opensea Shared Storefront, @QuantumNFT, @typed_art, @gen_dot_art
• New media formats: PDF and text file
• Marketplace integration: objkt v1 and v3

Finding a publisher for my poetry collection VERSEN: my worries and the outcome
🗯️ One of my biggest concerns when searching for a publisher for my poetry collection, VERSEN, was first: What if the publisher doesn’t understand the title and doesn’t recognize that it’s the second half of the word “metaverse” in the German plural?
◻️ And second -perhaps even more importantly -what if the publisher doesn’t grasp that the book must be white?
🦢 For those who don’t know me or my work, this might seem trivial, but the color white is absolutely essential to everything I do. It’s present in all my works, woven between the lines of my poems; for more than ten years, I’ve worn nothing but white.
❔ So, what if the publisher simply doesn’t get it? What if I do find a publisher, but they don’t understand the core of my concept?
🤍 Fortunately, this worry turned into its complete opposite. When the publisher suggested, “How about we print the entire book in silver ink on white paper instead of black ink?” - I knew I had made the right decision.
▫️Even now, I am incredibly happy -and still sometimes amazed -that I found a publisher in the traditional German literary scene who not only understands the connection between my writing and my artistic practice but is also willing to realize the vision with me.
📖VERSEN will be published in just two weeks by the Frankfurter Gutleut Verlag!
It will be a German book, but some of the poems will be in English.
PRESENTING CURATED EDITION OF SPIRALPROJEKT
Anika Meier @postanika recommended the following renowned artists for the Curated Edition of SPIRALPROJEKT which is presented for the first time next week at ArtMeta’s Digital Art Mile in Basel, organized by @artmetaofficial.
– The Irish conceptual artist Kevin Abosch @kevinabosch was asked because he works across traditional mediums as well as with generative methods including machine learning and blockchain technology.
– Mario Klingemann @quasimondo was an obvious choice because this artist is known for his curiosity and because his preferred tools are neural networks, code and algorithm.
– It was a matter of the heart to ask the journalist and media expert Susanne Päch @SusannePaech. She manages Art Meets Science and the estate of her husband Herbert W. Franke, whom Betha Sarasin and Markus Ganz met in 1982 at the Ars Electronica Festival.
– What connects Hans Dehlinger @hansdehlinger with Sarasin and Ganz is that they all began to explore computers and pen-plotters artistically in the late 1970s. Early works from him and Betha Sarasin were shown 2024 at the exhibition CODED CUBES at https://t.co/r0golNUe9I gallery in Berlin.
ArtMeta’s The Digital Art Mile, Basel, Switzerland: Presentation of the SPIRALPROJEKT at “4th floor”, Rebgasse 31, Monday 16 June - Sunday 22nd June, 12:00 - 20:00, free entry.
