Opening today @ArtBasel Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Zero 10 - Booth Z05 Black Hole is a brand new work premiering at Art Basel. At the center of the spiral is a panoptic surveillance camera, a “black hole” that tracks and capture the gaze of the viewers, registering their presence as a biometric input that activates and transforms the work. The piece draws attention to the seductions of visibility—recognition, inclusion, and self-imaging —while simultaneously exposing the camera as a device of predatory vision. In this way, the installation reflects on contemporary cultures of metrics and surveillance, where seeing oneself is inseparable from being measured.

Israel carried out a massive attack in the West Bank today and I can’t find a story about it in the New York Times or BBC. Probably the two most prominent media outlets in the Western world do not think this ⬇️ is newsworthy.

Disgusted at art education for pushing the clichéd dogma that Art ≡ a bag of symbols that expresses how the artist "feels". Uggh—save it. It's fine if that's how someone happens to work, but that is SUCH a narrow definition of human creative effort.

CLOUD SCRIPTS is a generative art installation, a conceptual machine, that explores the asemic nature of Daoist Cloud Seals (Yúnzhuàn 雲篆) as a form of communication between humans and the spiritual world.

By extracting a corpus of ‘Cloud Seals’ from Daoist scriptures and training trained on a fine tuned Gen Ai model, the installation generates a series of talismans. These talismans, devoid of specific pictorial meaning, symbolize my desire to engage in a dialogue
