Flag - Blue Screen of Death. I"ve been thinking about this image for a long time, I originally planned to make a physical work with the flag, print out the bsod image and think about a design to realise the work. So now this work is essentially a sketch for a physical installation that I would like to create in the future. I think it"s quite a powerful image combined with the blue screen of death, the blue fabric that develops in the wind. So I think I can leave it to the viewer to think about the meanings and associations that this image can evoke.

Autoscope by Erik Swahn

In *Autoscope*, Erik Swahn returns to the theme of color as building material from previous series such as *Farbteiler* (2021), *Punktwelt* (2022) and *Funktor* (2023). His new series as a whole describes an abstract universe consisting only of color, with each piece depicting a different scene within that universe.

Whereas many of Swahn"s previous series have had objects as their motifs, *Autoscope* rather portrays places in the form of configurations of simple geometries. Mountains are implied through pyramids and cones, ocean swell through sine waves, and barren forests through arrays of cylinders. Some places are inhabited by primitive geometries moving through space.

In a number of different tableaux, rendered in perspectiveless projection, the series evokes a very reduced sense of place, or perhaps recollection of place, sometimes with parts of the images blurred or distorted. In some scenes, even parts of the geometries are subject to erasure. In contrast to this barrenness, each scene is rich in saturation, movement and animated intensity, pulling the viewer into a chromatic world of its own peculiar logic.

The Unanswered Question by Auriea Harvey

Auriea Harveys practice exists in and between the real and virtual and *The Unanswered Question* situates both realms of existence on the same plane not as simulacrum, but as a suspension of disbelief. Scale plays an important role within the collapse of real and virtual as the artist manifests her digital compositions as an expansive scrollable landscape. Each work is a collage of polygonal models, derived from 3D scans and arranged into scenes using kitbashing, a technique from the practice of model-making that forms all parts into a whole and celebrates the simple lighting and highlights of each figures digital nature. This process offers the artist the opportunity to interject her personal sculptures into classical narratives.

Layered amongst *The Sacrifice* are scans of the outside walls of Romes Ara Pacis Augustae and a sacrificial bull from the Parthenon marbles alongside her digital sculptures *Minomirror (canceled)* and *The Mystery v3*.


The Sacrifice #11

Feral File  Gray Matter

In Dagger, an obelisk/dagger interrupts the dawning horizon with its vertical lithic shape, embodying an ironic and provocative statement. It appears on a stage set and again and again it plants itself tip down into the ground, a fiction of futile violence.  The integration of mythological elements recalls the classical monumental tradition. This particular Minotauress being is a repeated theme in the artists work. Facing-off, their horns promise a danger that the clay-made blade cannot fulfill.

Bright Moments

Cool air, warm dirt, lemonade berry perfume.
An amphitheater vignetted by the closing day.
The sun is the star of the show, and the ocean is the stage.
Immense beauty tinged by a deep sense of uncertain anticipation for what is to come.
This is how my first days of adulthood closed. A mix of comfort and discomfort, peace and turmoil.
My intention with this work is to capture my memories of those nights, rendered in simulated oil pastels.

Broken Printer by Tabor Robak

In *Broken Printer*, Robak artfully blends the nuances of traditional printing with the boundless scope of generative art, inspired by the evolution of printing technology. This series pays homage to graphic design and desktop publishing, focusing on the unique aesthetics of faulty prints juxtaposed against the perfection promised by advertising. 

Beginning as a project to generate printer calibration pages, it evolved into a comprehensive emulation of Photoshop"s early functionalities in codelayer styles, masking, filters, and more  with the unlocked infinite possibilities of procedural generation. Through this exploration, Robak challenges viewers to find beauty in technological imperfections, urging a reevaluation of the quest for perfection.
