Artist Bingo

Artist Bingo turns my life and career as an artist into a game of bingo. On each bingo card, the usual numbers are replaced by various tropes, myths, and milestones that constitute an artist"s life, or our collective imagination thereof. The tropes are then stamped off over time as I, unintentionally, complete them in the course of my lifefive in a row for bingo! Each winner will receive a handmade physical copy of their artwork.

In rendering these tropes explicit, the project acts as living examination of our stereotypes of artists (tortured/starving artist, eccentric/creative genius, etc.) and the way this mythos is packaged into a speculative financial container through art.

Emerge

Emerge is a poetic fork of Barlows A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace. It merges the lines of this seminal document and from it, extracts 32 words, 2 from each of the 16 paragraphs, to create a meaning-making node. It is an instance of our perpetual attempt to stake our claim to words that we can only ever borrow from the shared signifying system that is language.

As both an experimentation with procedural forms, both visual and literary, and a conceptual iteration of the original declaration, Emerge draws attention to the way in which all new forms of artistic, cultural and technological production draws on its antecedents for its raw material.

TRYST: The Audiobook 2nd Edition #11

Still Moving by Nathaniel Stern and Sasha Stiles

*The mind moves at the speed of dreams.
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!
I like to think of my brain as a hand,
palm of my soul, fragile nerve bundle.
I think about my brain as I hold my heart
in both hands  a private thing, a pulsing secret.
It fills my palms and bones with heat.
The world is full of heartbeat.
I am trying to hold it all together...*
    &nbsp; -- &nbsp;Excerpt from *STILL MOVING*, by Technelegy

**NOTE: To fully experience *STILL MOVING*, please open in LIVE VIEW and enable your webcam for motion tracking.**

The first project of its kind, *STILL MOVING* is an interactive poem about humanitys visceral engagement with the virtual  written and published via the blockchain as a token word performance, and embodied by each collector as a uniquely intimate, personalized interpretation. In this epic on-chain ode to the relationship of bodies and machines, literal and figurative wordplay activates the liminal space between text and reader, extending the two-dimensional screen/page into a somatic, material realm where language moves us in every sense of that phrase  up, down, sideways, forwards, backwards, and in otherwise inexpressible directions  urging us to reclaim our dynamism and intuitive physicality in an age of technological acceleration, bodily inertia, and rote gestures.

A collaboration between Nathaniel Stern and Sasha Stiles  rooted in Stiles AI-powered verse and Sterns career in digital, interactive, and networked art  *STILL MOVING* is an ars poetica about what it means to be a human body facing a machine: a showdown, a form of worship, a distraction, a mirror gaze, an other, an alter, an alter. After we bend to our technologies, do we spring back into shape, or assume new forms? Where does input end, and output begin? As we continue to think, work, and play faster than ever while rooted in place, it is still possible to be moved  *really* moved?

*STILL MOVING* also embodies the future of web3 literature, in which the book  read-only  evolves into a read-write-interact experience, and authors begin to adopt such tools as webcams and NFTs in their writerly arsenal. In each unique edition of *STILL MOVING*, camera-based motion tracking (data confined to your local machine only) facilitates a play-full and meaning-full interface between the readers physical self and language on screen. Human forms and gestures shape machine expression, and vice versa, cybernetic serendipity inspires poetic association. Make a move, and be moved Stand still, and instill meaning

Palettes pair paper, charcoal, and pencil colorings  emblematic of the stationery/stationary  with neon and electric highlights that nod to computational restlessness. Preview images feature lines from the core poem, potent standalone phrases, or rare, gestural graphics and images, caught somewhere between language and illustration, expression and wordless apprehension.

Specimen Card - Fringe Drifters

Aint a single thing in these sweets thats natural, but thats why they never spoil. Yum Nubs are pretty much the only thing that surely wont go curdled on the trek from BC to the Fringe. Engines, gastro pods, fuel, and crew can all let you down but Yum Nubs will never go bad on you . Most rations of Yum Nubs dont make it to Skarem or outer reaches of the void since most kips lack enough self control to stave sweet cravings, just makes the ones that make it there that much more valuable. For those long hauls, sometimes the included sticker is the only exciting thing you"ll get for days. Drifters stick em in all sorts of places, swear I saw some kip covering half their helmet with the dang things, could hardly see out of it. Really raises the question of where he got all those Yum Nubs in the first place... Back at the bench, heard mention of a recluse hoarding a whole freight of them somewhere in the Scabbies. They say they got a glimpse of them one day out by Lykenrot pre-shootout wearing some khulark mask leaving wrappers of Yum Nubs in the dust.

Yum Nubs

Dentistry is cost prohibitive for most crews and local practitioners tend to be crude and can only be found in the more established settlements, leaving most Drifters to fend for their own teeth if they intend to keep them. Many turn to Ivory Tar. Ivory Tar is a chewable dental health product made from prehistoric crude oils, artificial flavors and refined chemicals. Each tablet has two sides (light and dark). When kneaded together the two sides of the tablet break down into a dark chewy sticky tar. The Ivory Tar fills cavities and promotes a strong jawline, but it can stain the teeth. Its intended for a single use, but in some crews its considered good luck to chew on the same piece of tar for the duration of a void journey.

Ivory Tar

Not a lot of crews are a fan of relying on something you cant jerry-rig, especially when it reeks. But a Scrubbie nestled by a heatsink can make long hauls a bit less stuffy. They can be a bit fickle, gotta feed the lil shits on a strict schedule and they happen to have a tendency to detach themselves and float around leaving you to sniff them out. A sprinkle of sweetener is all they need to recycle some of the c02 scrubbing the air to technically be cleaner, but the process reeks of ass gas and that"s with natch sweeteners. In a pinch, any synth sweetener will help it get through a cycle or two till you get something better, but you best be prepared with sick bags.

NEW VOID

Gerrick & Tonerly approached The Borsh Conservatory Of Gastrocraft to develop a prototype of the GASTROPOD, a device to aid the nutritional needs and scarcity of resources in potentially hostile and remote environments. Comes with a starter spore pack that develops fungi which will convert asteroid rubble into healthy nutri-soil which can then be used for food.


It proved so successful, production of the BGT-1 rolled out soon after, becoming a key inventory item of any deep void mission. Every gastro worth their cream packs as many as there are crew. One pod will sustain, nurture and feed them throughout a mission.. There are many unique aspects to this kit. Firstly, a starter pack comes with a powerful asteroid fungal spore kit, converting toxic space rock into mineral rich soil. Handy when adrift or lost in the void and supplies are low. A kit can sustain nutrition once a minimal soil base has been prepped. Then an assortment of protein rich fungi can be grown as life support rations. Solar panels, modes for soil breakdown or plant growth. Timer controls and bio/grav sensors create the right environment to enhance spore production. Every Gastro is trained in its use and they can be daisy-chained to cater for larger crews. A variety of Spore Packs can be purchased in advance. Both Borsh Conservatory of Gastrocraft and Gerrick & Tonerly run regular marketing campaigns warning of the dangers of a thriving black market which has opened up due to demand for jailbroken and knock-off imitation pods as well as experimental spores and seeds

BG-1-Gastropod

Discovered accidentally by a team of chemists, Astersilk was immediately marketed to asteroid miners as a cheap and easy solution for ""dross mining"" (gathering valuable materials in asteroid dusk). Soon after its release, though, ever-ingenious drifters discovered a multitude of practical uses for the ""web in a can"" like tethering items to an asteroid, settling the dust beneath a spacecraft, sweeping dust away, temporarily patching flexible materials, and many others. This in turn led to a new occupation: the ""silker"". A good silker can spin makeshift gaskets and grommets, flexible containers, signposts, and even toys and artwork. Mining crews in low gravity often employee a dedicated silker to stand guard to catch stray tools (and even the occasional drifter) that would otherwise float off into oblivion. 


Usage directions from an astersilk canister: 


Directions for dross mining (steps 1-7) and debris containment (steps 1-2): 

1) Point nozzle in direction of loose mineral site. 

2) Spray site in a spiral motion starting at the outside of the circle and spiraling in toward the center making sure every concentric ring is touching the previous ring. 

3) As you reach the center, slow the flow and raise nozzle over the circle pointing down. 

4) IMPORTANT: take care not to break the line of astersilk between the center pool and your nozzle. 

5) Hold position for 3 minutes and then give the line a slight tug, if the circle moves with the tug, you can now reel in your haul. Otherwise, wait a few more minutes until it is set. 

6) Drop your haul (both minerals and astersilk) into canister. 

7) At your convenience, pour alcohol into the canister to dissolve astersilk.
