ANNOUNCEMENT:
'STANDARD' by @john__gerrard with @fellowshiptrust sees $500,000 USD in sales on day one of @ArtBasel Zero 10.

The 2023 created artwork (formerly Surrender Flag) is a real-time digital simulation and edition of 4 + 2AP. Each frame is generated live, with no two repeating.

"The work proposes that we share one atmosphere, an invisible commons that recognises no national or political boundaries, and that we may choose collectively how to care for it."

[john gerrard @john__gerrard]

Western Flag to centre, the weight of history upon the present. Flare to right, the burning present pointing to an infernal future. To left is STANDARD a utopian dream of sustainability and a borderless re-relation to the commons. Deepest gratitude to the makers credited below. To @0xShiroi on art token, to @fellowshiptrust for presenting. To @ArtBasel for 010, curated and located beautifully by @trevorpaglen and @eli_schein. The first time this triptch of Flags is united and a deeply proud and moving moment for me on many many levels / jg

Introducing Meditations in Color.

An archive of the color of art history.

A drawing system that builds new work from its palettes.

[Pixel Symphony @Pixel0Symphony]

Meditations in Color arrives on @SuperRare on June 10.

At its core are eight drawing systems. Each begins with a historical painting, distills its palette, and translates it into a new geometric study.

A thread on all 8 systems and their corresponding source paintings 👇

What changes when disinformation is studied not only as a communication problem, but also in relation to cybersecurity?

In our recent paper in @icsjournal, with @JoseARuiperez and @juanchoaguado, we examine how social science research has framed this connection ⬇️

[OFFICE IMPART @office_impart]

Among his most significant works: Scrollbar Composition (2000), in which scrollbars move independently across a webpage — performative, never the same twice. Compressed Landscapes (2016), shown at the Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam, where an algorithm endlessly searches the internet, compressing images into shifting digital landscapes. And JPEG (2022), generative images built entirely from code, no image material whatsoever.
