Deadities

In memoriam (again?) of those brave, undead Oddities who chose an incendiary annihilation to emerge from the Hearth as a winged Mythic. May this humble token of remembrance forever extol your upchucked magnificence.

Moonbirds Mythics are an expansion of the Moonbird ecosystem. A maximum of 20,000 Mythics can be brought to life by burning either a Mythic Egg (https://opensea.io/collection/mythics-egg) or an Oddity (https://opensea.io/collection/moonbirds-oddities).
	
Mythics takes you on an epic journey, delving into the profound depths of the artist's creative process. It reveals the rapid transformation of fear and insecurity into a formidable adversary, with its insidious whispers planting seeds of doubt and uncertainty in the minds of believers. But what if you faced your ultimate enemy? The one that resides within. This extraordinary quest unveils redemption through the power of community, resonating with the resolute truth: you are deserving, you belong, for deep within beats the heart of a Mythic.

2020 was a unique year in my career as a street photographer. After six months of strict curfews and stern Covid measures as well as vandalism and destruction caused by civil unrest, New York City turned into a desolate shell of its former self. The once bustling metropolis started to look and feel like scenes from a post-apocalyptic movie. As I wandered through the empty streets, normalcy began to slip away. Over time, things slowly improved but it wasnt until a cold and snowy night in December that the city felt alive again.

This photograph represents a city reborn and is a personal reminder of my experiences during darker times. Wandering the empty streets I no longer recognized while trying to remember what how things once were.

Our world is made up of near infinite examples of events that paradoxically represent both order and chaos. Chaos theorys most famous tenant, the Butterfly Effect, explains how imperceptible changes in initial conditions can lead to massive and unpredictable differences in outcomes: how a butterfly flapping its wings weeks earlier may lead to a hurricane taking a different course.

Wander positions Rhythm & the Machine at the paradox point, building a system that visually suggests both order and chaos, striking a different balance in each composition. Saturated color fields reminiscent of paint moving through water are seemingly randomly distorted and dragged across the canvas. All the while repeating colors and evenly spaced gestures point to an underlying ordered system.

Intuitively you would not expect repeating the same thing over and over would lead to disorder, yet this is exactly what you find with many systems, such as pseudo-random number generators that are foundational to algorithmic generative art.

Through a reduced system that elevates a few random elementsthe placement & size of colored geometric shapes, the direction & intensity of the gestureRhythm & the Machine introduces distortionary forces that Wander does not dictate nor completely control. Suddenly each cluster of colors takes on a life of its own, creating new forms we cannot predict.

Each work in the collection contains a second instruction layer, which maps how the original colored shapes are placed and then distorted. This instruction layer reminds us that chaos is in fact rooted in ordered systems. We can see the before and the after of the directional forces, how regular shapes became an abstracted color field. At the same time, the interactions are so complex and layered that trying to anticipate the future is a futile effort. We can try to understand but we cannot predict: a visual articulation of the butterfly effect. This insight is given added weight since the instruction layer is artificial and not a priori to the original digital work, where all of these functions happen simultaneously. The artist constructed it to provide the viewer this unique insight.

We see the moment of divergence, repeated not just in a single canvas but also across the collection. The wide range of possibilities alludes to infinitya concept impossible to fully comprehend but in this reduced visual language Wander shows us a piece of it and our minds are able to begin to explore the spread if not the edges.

A collaboration between the ATP Tour, Art Blocks Engine and Martin Grasser, LOVE is a collection of unique digital artworks that uses in-match sports data to celebrate impactful moments from the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, Italy. 

Our algorithm is built on the idea that there is beauty in the very rules of the game. And one of those rules is the court, a highly regulated environment that is essentially a handful of rectangles and lines. Add a balla circle, reallyand the formula is complete. What we have is not just a record of incredible skill and sportsmanship, but art, as it were, ready-made.

Wherever the ball lands, we mark it. Underneath each ball is a shadow-like ellipse that indicates the direction and speed of each shot. We add color ensuring that each composition reveals at least one line and two fields of color. Then, with data generated by the ATP, we curate 300 of the most impactful moments from the Finals, from the fastest serve to the championship winning shot.

Post Photographic Perspectives II: Acceptable Realities is Fellowship's second group show celebrating a new wave of innovation in AI video and photography.

Unmoored seeks to challenge viewers by presenting familiar objects, locations, and tones in unexpected pairings. Drawing upon mundane characters, objects, and settings inspired by personal memories and life experiences, the work displaces these elements from their usual contexts, and challenges viewers to venture beyond the surfaces of the images to find new associations and deeper understandings.

Ultimately, Unmoored reflects on the intoxicating allure of those moments when inspiration strucka sensation akin to a drug that has captivated me since my youth. This feeling, characterized by the stimulation of entirely new neural pathways within the brain, serves as the driving force behind my creative pursuits. Striving to evoke this electrifying sensation, I endeavor to forge unexplored realms of perception and experience.

"Unmoored" seeks to challenge viewers by presenting familiar objects, locations, and tones in unexpected pairings. Drawing upon mundane characters, objects, and settings inspired by personal memories and life experiences, the work displaces these elements from their usual contexts, and challenges viewers to venture beyond the surfaces of the images to find new associations and deeper understandings.

The creation of each image in Unmoored entailed equal measures of memory, imagination, and emotion. Each studio session commenced with compiling a list of people (their professions, ages, and attire), settings/locations (specific eras and times of day), and other elements (inanimate objects, animals, etc.), all drawn from fragments within the artist"s memory.

Ultimately, Unmoored reflects on the intoxicating allure of those moments when inspiration strucka sensation akin to a drug that has captivated me since my youth.
