cave paintings of the digital era

finds №003

gao hang was 10 when he first played counter-strike. the world inside looked real to him, and it stayed

now he paints it: low-poly bodies, mushy textures, edges too sharp for a canvas

references come from emulators and other people's gameplay recordings. a compressed game texture ends up as a 2-meter painting

the way there is 4 steps: screenshot, photoshop, canvas, then airbrush and tape

the images are simple enough that anyone recognizes them instantly. laughter comes first, then awkwardness, then something closer to nostalgia

our patron said about this:

many perceive such graphics as clumsy and outdated

while the modern world chases hyper-realism in metaverses, the artist finds beauty in simplicity

these smeared textures may not be perfect, but they hide true sincerity and nostalgia

Silicon Cities by Heiko Hellwig

· · ·

he explores and reveals the core of digital society. it is a society where we can no longer fully understand how information moves, which channels it takes, and which kinds of information belong where

this series captures the complexity and hidden nature of digital machines, which feels both aesthetic and frightening at the same time

their structures resemble modern megacities and bring to mind futuristic highway networks from science fiction movies

someone sold nothing for $18,300

finds №002

in may 2021 italian artist Salvatore Garau sold an invisible sculpture at auction in Milan. the buyer got a certificate and instructions: display it in a 5x5 ft empty space at home

even a vacuum has weight, he said

5 years earlier Tom Miller built an invisible structure in a public square in Gainesville, Florida. he called it Nothing

when the sale went viral, Miller hired a lawyer: "i should be credited with Nothing, and Gainesville, Florida, not Italy, is where Nothing happened first"

the letter was sent. the suit was never filed. Garau never responded

our patron said about this:

two artists, thousands of miles and five years apart, both decided the most valuable thing they could build was nothing at all

one made $18k off it, the other just wanted credit

somehow even nothing has an ownership dispute

new essay with @spaceheadtr

you pick up the phone to check one thing. you surface 40 minutes later and can't name a single image you saw


1) why the feed hunts your empty seconds
2) why doing nothing was never nothing

upd: we added a 3-month plan

we heard your feedback, so now there's a shorter option

one thing: it doesn't auto-renew. check your email so you don't miss the renewal (or just take the yearly one)
