Her work takes blockchain technology and crypto culture as its point of departure, and focuses on playfulness, exploration, and experimentation to push the boundaries of the NFT medium and of conceptual writing and art. Always faithful to the concepts that drive her pieces, she uses various forms and media — micro autofiction, multimedia poetry, metaversal word art installations — to experiment with new writing and reading experiences. Kalen is also the founder of the crypto writers discord and cofounder of theVERSEverse, a literary gallery where poems = works of art. - [aurèce vettier](https://feralfile.com/artists/aurece-vettier-t7o) — Paris, France aurèce vettier is a studio founded by Paul Mouginot in 2019. The studio aims to understand how to achieve relevant and meaningful interactions with machines and algorithms, in order to push the boundaries of creative processes. The works of aurèce vettier are the result of a number of back-and-forth trips between the “real” space in which we exist, where we can draw, paint, sculpt, break, erase; and the “data” space, where we can play in more dimensions than we, as humans, can cope with. In this virtual space, which can involve artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms or heavy mathematical processing, the studio expands possibilities, exploring new forms that can be projected back in reality. What is generated by AI and algorithms is not regarded as finished work, but rather as raw material that expands the artist’s conceptual possibilities. - [Iannis Bardakos](https://feralfile.com/artists/iannis-bardakos-zn5) — Shanghai, China Iannis Bardakos is a hunter-gatherer of forms and non-localities. He is in a non-linear oscillation between Athens, Paris, and Shanghai, where he manifests as an artist, researcher, and educator. As an artist, he combines virtual, physical, and biological media while exploring the way forms, ideas, and concepts emerge in individuals and in groups of human and non-human observational units. As a researcher, he is exploring the ways the self, the mind, mathematics, and aesthetics create rational and irrational poetic bonds. As an educator, Iannis Bardakos is on a continuous journey to understand, via technoetic methodologies, how art processes emerge. - [Primavera De Filippi & Wolfgang Natlacen](https://feralfile.com/artists/primavera-de-filippi-and-wolfgang-natlacen-wl6) — Paris, France Primavera De Filippi is a legal scholar at Harvard University, as well as an internet activist and artist exploring the intersection between law and technology, focusing specifically on the legal and political implications of blockchain technology. Her artistic practice instantiates the key findings of her research in the physical world, creating blockchain-based lifeforms that evolve and reproduce themselves as people feed them with cryptocurrencies. Her works have been exposed in various museums, galleries, and art fairs around the world including Ars Electronica, Furtherfield Gallery, Kinetica Art Fair, Centre Pompidou, Grand Palais, Gaité Lyrique, and Le Cent Quatre, as well as festivals such as Burning Man and Fusion Festival. - [ORLAN](https://feralfile.com/artists/orlan-owj) — Paris, France ORLAN is one of the most important French artists internationally recognized. She is not tied to any one material, technology, or artistic practice. She uses sculpture, photography, performance, video, 3D, video games, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and robotics (she has created a robot in her own image that speaks with her voice), as well as scientific and medical techniques such as surgery and biotechnology, to question the social phenomena of our time. ORLAN created the magazine Art-Accès Revue, on minitel, and founded and organized the International Symposium of Performance and Video in Lyon. ORLAN constantly and radically changes the data, deregulating conventions and ready-made thinking. She opposes natural, social, and political determinism, all forms of domination, male supremacy, religion, cultural segregation, and racism. Always mixed with humor, sometimes parody and even the grotesque, her work questions social phenomena and challenges pre-established codes. --- - HTML page: https://feralfile.com/exhibitions/ecotone-swo/artists - DP-1 playlist: https://feralfile.com/exhibitions/ecotone-swo/playlist.json - DP-1 channel: https://feralfile.com/exhibitions/ecotone-swo/channel.json - API record: https://feralfile.com/api/exhibitions/e7f6f9b9-4b65-4764-9d24-e9a94aaa263d - Site index for agents: https://feralfile.com/llms.txt
