VOICE GEMS

In 2021, Herbert W. Franke and Harry Yeff started a conversation about the concept of VOICE GEMS and an audio-visual collaboration. Franke suggested using the lyrics of ASTROPOETICON because they are a minimalist and associative approach to language that could have been created by an AI. These lyrics were frozen as gemstones, the VOICE GEMS ASTROPOETICON, created by Herbert W. Franke, Harry Yeff, Trung Bao and an AI. (The first three 1/1s have been minted and collected in 2021.)

The lyrics used for the VOICE GEMS ASTROPOETICON (DESTINATION IN UNCERTAINTY) belong to a cycle of 16 poems called ASTROPOETICON. Written by Franke in 1979 to be published in a book alongside artworks by German space artist Andreas Nottebohm, he voiced them on the occasion of his 80th birthday in 2007. 

Every voice is unique, and with that comes unique fingerprint-like data that can be used for bespoke and human centred generative design. Harry Yeff (aka REEPS100) and Trung Bao have developed a voice-centred generative system utilising data found in a human voice to synthesise the artworks form and colour. Features like pitch, resonance, harmonics and pace sculpt 200 000 particle data points in a simulated digital space. The VOICE GEMS series is a vibrant, unprecedented meditation highlighting remarkable and influential voices. Each VOICE GEM is added to the VOICE GEMS: 1000 Year archive. 

Herbert W. Franke (19272022) was a pioneer of computer art who anticipated the metaverse. For several decades, he separated three lives: the caver and scientist; the artist and curator; and the science fiction author. In the early 1950s, caving led him to experiment with light and technology. He kept his curiosity throughout his life; it was his drive to examine new technologies for their artistic potential. His pioneering spirit made him one of the first computer artists who was more than six decades ahead of his time. In 1979, he co-founded Ars Electronica. Franke has been called the most prominent German science fiction writer by Die Zeit, and a short story fireworker by the FAZ. In 2022, his first NFT Drop MATH ART sold out within 30 seconds on Quantum, and he was the headliner at the Tezos Booth at Art Basel with MONDRIAN, a work from 1979. Herbert W. Franke died on July 16, 2022, at the age of 95, leaving behind an extensive oeuvre.

Presented by EXPANDED.ART in collaboration with art meets science  Foundation Herbert W. Franke and ELEMENTUM.ART on the occasion of Herbert W. Frankes solo show CODED BEAUTY at EXPANDED.ART in Berlin. The art meets science  Foundation Herbert W. Franke will use their portion of the sales for a designated purpose: translating significant texts by Herbert W. Franke to English and making them publicly available.



ASTROPOETICON DESTINATION IN UNCERTAINTY by Herbert W. Franke  
Destination in uncertainty 	
solar sail unfolded  
ride on the ion beam  
home port: beyond space and time  
sensors, directed to the void 
signals from the dark field  
circuits on hold 
ice crystals in the cells  
veins without blood  
memory wiped out  
the past: obliterated  
existence between dream and death  
will there be an awakening?  
will there be any hope  
in front: clouds and cosmic dust  
behind it maybe  
a galaxy 
star systems, suns  
planets bathed in warmth and light -  
wake-up call from the tape  
uncharted territory!  
behind it, perhaps:  
a void

As humanity embraced the dawn of the crypto age, a startling revelation was uncovered. Amidst the vast expanse of data enshrined within the blockchain, lay the enigmatic Monoglyph. Whispers echoed of a long-lost civilization, their knowledge and wisdom etched into the glyphs for all eternity.

For those bold enough to crack its code, Monoglyph promised a window into the future - a tantalizing glimpse at technologies beyond our wildest imaginings, and a cosmic journey to the mysteries of the universe that lay just beyond our grasp.

Yet, it remains entirely possible that these cryptic symbols hold no meaning at all. Like life itself, the true significance of Monoglyph is left to the fickle interpretations of humankind.

With no clear purpose or destination, we are challenged to embrace the unknown with open hearts and unbridled curiosity. And in this grand pursuit of the unknown, we discover the exquisite beauty of the unexpected, and the wonder that lies just beyond our reach.
