"description": "“I am always drawn to how artists address identity in their work, especially around the concept of self or who society or structures allow to exist and how. LaTurbo Avedon is an artist who doesn’t exist offline, which is sort of the ultimate form of conceptual art in a time of “always being on.” LaTurbo doesn’t exist in any other domain but the ephemeral, and while I’d expect that a lack of physical presence in a world where parties and openings count as part of the discourse is difficult, they make it work — it’s not unlike how gamers don’t have access to every part of the gaming world they’re playing inside, and yet they exist within those very systems successfully. ‘Self-Portrait with Mask’ is a part of the artist’s ongoing series of portraits exploring their mutable online identity.” —Addie Wagenknecht\nLaTurbo’s artwork CLUB ROTHKO – ORANGE AND YELLOW STARTER PACK was commissioned for the Peer to Peer exhibition on Feral File in December 2021, curated by Tina Rivers Ryan for the Buffalo AKG Art Museum."

While exploring how technologies support the idea of impossible anatomies, behaviors, and performances, her work is an exercise in body modification by way of amplified behavior. Blalock’s interests include embodied cognition, anatomy and biomechanics, bionics, mechatronics, human/non-human entanglement, and computational abstraction."

"description": "“Lee Blalock’s work constantly creates states of existence through technology. The work that I am most drawn to plays with portraiture and identity within systems — utilizing technology as the core medium — where there are impossible anatomies, behaviors, and performances which balance between modification of the body to address changes of state and structures.” —Addie Wagenknecht"

"text": "Morehshin Allahyari (Persian: موره شین اللهیاری) (she, her) is a NY-based Iranian-Kurdish artist using 3D simulation, video, sculpture, and digital fabrication as tools to re-figure myth and history. Through archival practices and storytelling, her work weaves together complex counternarratives in opposition to the lasting influence of Western technological colonialism in the context of SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa). Morehshin has been part of numerous exhibitions, festivals, and workshops around the world including Venice Biennale di Architettura, New Museum, The Whitney Museum of American Art, Pompidou Center, Tate Modern, Queens Museum, Museum für Angewandte Kunst, among others. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, BBC, Huffington Post, Wired, National Public Radio, Parkett Art Magazine, Frieze, Rhizome, Hyperallergic, and Al Jazeera, among others. In 2021, she received the United States Artist Fellowship. Her artworks are in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Current Museum."

"description": "“Across much of her work, Moreshin Allahyari looks at the concept of digital colonialism. She is interested in the concept of digital technologies as a way of colonizing artifacts by western tech companies and institutions within the MENA and other historical sites, by claiming ownership of the files and data from these historical artifacts and places. The concept parallels the theme across much of her work. Just as some artworks show us who we are, many of her works capture the implications of unintended consequences of who the west is and the larger western ideologies which destroy so much of the rest of the world. ‘She Who Sees The Unknown’ is Morehshin’s image of the supernatural being Aisha Qandisha.” —Addie Wagenknecht\n“Aisha Qandisha is one of the most honored and fearsome jinn in Islam (originally from Morocco). She is known as ‘the opener’ and the jinn of rivers. When Aisha possesses men, she creates a crack on their body. She does not take over the host but rather opens them to the outside; to a storm of incoming jinn and demons; making them a traffic zone. She never leaves; she resides in the man to guarantee their utter openness. The only way to stay sane when possessed by her is to participate with her, to listen to her. If one does not open up for this process of destruction and rebuilding, it will result in incurable delirium and madness.” —Morehshin Allahyari\nMorehshin Allahyari has shown new work within two Feral File shows to date: For Your Eyes Only curated by Domenico Quaranta, and WETWARE curated by Mindy Seu, an exhibition in support of the Cyberfeminism Index."

"description": "“I remember somewhere hearing Tabor Robak called a “dark-web Nam June Paik” and I could never really unthink it. Much of why I have been drawn to Tabor’s work is wanting to be it. He has the ability to make work that ties together a lot of themes of our generation into something consumable, looking at video games, advertising, and technology in a way that combines late capitalism and privacy with gaming words and colorways. For a2p, Tabor was the only artist to create a font; the ‘ɃŁØSSØM (FØNŦ)’ is available online to download here, but only collectors have a license to use it.” —Addie Wagenknecht\n“Collectors of this image are granted a commercial-use license of blossom.ttf\n｢𝓕↴｣ new-document.com/blossom.zip” —Tabor Robak"

"description": "“The dominant belief is that Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, the greatest mystery of crypto currency, is not a person who actually exists. And that by giving him a Japanese name, he has become even more mysterious (there is an obvious sentiment rooted in Orientalism). This counterfeit passport by Émilie Brout & Maxime Marion, created as a work of art about a mysterious figure who was an essential starting point for the blockchain and surrounding technologies that have a certain religious fervor, will amplify the imagination of such a mythology that is currently in the making. It’s a piece fit to exist on the blockchain.” —exonemo\n“This scanned image is the only existing trace of the passport of Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. Since his first public message until his disappearance on December 12, 2010, Nakamoto has made every effort to preserve his identity. The importance of his creation and the perfectly mastered mystery around him made him today a true contemporary myth, feeding a growing number of rumors and fantasies.\nWe decided to produce evidence of the existence of Satoshi Nakamoto using the technology he created. We asked forgers on the darknet to produce an absurd portrait, paid in Bitcoins: a Japanese passport embodying all the information we gathered about him. The work is the original image (non-photoshopped and with metadata) that the forgers sent us on May 28, 2014 for validation before shipping. We never received the physical passport, as if Nakamoto should definitely belong to the digital world.” —Émilie Brout & Maxime Marion"

"description": "“Hiroyuki Nisougi is a painter living in Japan who started painting with simple bitmap painting tools for BBS on the internet in early 2000, and later extended his digital painting techniques and ideas to analog paintings, working regardless of the boundaries between digital and analog. He uses pixelated hand-drawn lines and a digital eraser tool that leaves no marks, confusing the viewer’s eye and bringing a unique tension to his innocent drawing style. I also feel from his paintings, like ‘Nashi,’ that he continues to paint with the pure joy and excitement he felt when he first encountered digital tools.” —exonemo\n“most beautiful.” —hiroyuki nisougi"

"text": "Peter Burr is an artist from Brooklyn, NY. A master of computer animation with a gift for creating images and environments that hover between abstraction and figuration, Burr has recently devoted himself to exploring the concept of “an endlessly mutating labyrinth.” These pieces have been presented internationally by various institutions including Documenta 14, Athens; MoMA PS1, New York; and The Barbican Centre, London. Burr’s practice often engages with tools of the video game industry in the form of immersive cinematic artworks. Previously, Burr worked under the alias Hooliganship and founded the video label Cartune Xprez through which he produced hundreds of live multimedia exhibitions and touring programs, which showcased a multi-generational group of artists at the forefront of experimental animation. His practice has been recognized through grants and awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Creative Capital Grant, and a Sundance New Frontier Fellowship."

"description": "“The colorful 3D humans that appear in Peter Burr’s works fall and pile up as if they were objects. This gives us a third-person perspective to the human form, which we naturally feel emotionally attached to. In ‘Mode Confusion,’ we see people walking aimlessly in the distance and beings who seem to be watching them from the foreground. A flashing plate stands in front of the people in the foreground, seemingly obstructing their line of sight. Looking at this work, one is left wondering where one’s point of view should be placed, and it stands in the way as a question. —exonemo\n“A mode confusion occurs when an automated system's design is out of sync with the user’s mental model of it.” —Peter Burr\nPeter Burr’s solo exhibition on Feral File, BOOMTOWN, was released on Feral File in December 2022. This exhibition featured eight original animations, each with 1,000 frames that are slowly revealed over the course of years."

"text": "Nicolas Sassoon lives and works in Vancouver, Canada, on the unceded lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. His work has long been concerned with the tensions between the pixel and the screen, reflecting on their materiality by integrating pixelated figures, moiré patterns, and early computer graphics into experiential displays. This focus on early computer graphics is driven by the sculptural, material, and pictorial qualities of this imagery, as well as its limitations and its poetics. Sassoon’s work often explores the projective dimensions of screen-based space, and the many relationships between computer technology and the natural world. His research has led him to engage in cross-disciplinary projects in the fields of architecture, electronic music, textiles, and art. His work has been exhibited at The Whitney Museum of American Art (U.S.), Eyebeam (U.S.), Current Museum (U.S.), Vancouver Art Gallery (CA), Plugin ICA (CA), Contemporary Art Gallery (CA), Charles H.Scott Gallery (CA), Western Front (CA), PRETEEN Gallery (MX), Victoria & Albert Museum (UK), the Centre Pompidou (FR), House of Electronic Basel (SW), Arti et Amicitiae (NL), MU Eindhoven (NL) , Today Art Museum (CN), Chronus Art Center (CN), Berlin Fashion Week (DE), and New York Fashion Week (U.S.)."

"description": "“a2p was a project from before the NFT craze, but Nicolas Sassoon’s video work had characteristics that would soon be seen in many later NFT works. The images of objects rotating in a fixed frame make the viewer feel the image as an “object,” making it easy to have a sense of ‘owning’ that image. Many NFT works are likewise in this format because it reminds us of an object that is there forever, unlike a film, which has a story or camera cuts. Nicolas may have been intuitively aware of this; it’s not surprising that he has since become active in the NFT world.” —exonemo\nIn the time since a2p, Nicolas’s work has reached a wide audience. In addition to releasing new work on many new platforms during the last three years, Nicolas released two artworks, “3 ORBS” and “4 ORBS,” in the Feral File group show, p1x3l, in 2022."

She combines the warm nostalgia of video synth textures with the hard edges of 3D modeling. ‘Aliqua’ feels like a touch interface for an extraterrestrial technology, a particle accelerator made out of glass and fueled by alpenglow.” —Rick Silva"

"description": "“Auriea Harvey calls these works ‘digital sculptures.’ The name is apt as they combine her deep knowledge of historical sculpture with her figurative rendering skills and her new media expertise. ‘Sketch for a Cyclops’ is a 3D model, presented as stills and as a .glb interactive web object. The still image version feels like ultrasound scans from an archeological expedition, while the white on white .glb version resembles a fresh plaster cast in the artist’s studio. Auriea would later version this 2019 sketch as the epic physical sculpture ‘The Grand Cyclops.’” —Rick Silva\n“The variability of the digital image and perhaps the impossibility of its containment. A digital sculpture sketch of the (imaginary) Cyclops. As an image (which can be printed out), as a link (via QR-code) to a web page with embedded 3D model (which can be downloaded and 3D printed), as an AR object (if your phone supports it). I am thinking about my sculpture and if there being 10 official copies makes the Cyclops any more real?” —Auriea Harvey XLVIII\nAuriea’s digital sculpture “The Mystery [v5-dv1]” was featured in The Bardo: Unpacking the Real in May 2021, the second exhibition on Feral File. She followed up with Gray Matter, an ambitious solo exhibition released on Feral File in November 2022."

"text": "LIA is an artist based in Vienna, Austria. She is a pioneer of software and net.art, with her earliest work going back to the mid-1990s. LIA has explored every emerging media since that time, including CD-ROMs, the web, apps, and more recently, NFTs. Her practice spans video, performance, software, installations, sculpture, projections, and digital applications, and her works combine traditions of drawing and painting with the aesthetics of digital images and algorithms. Her work has been exhibited online and in physical exhibitions at venues including the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), the Tinguely Museum (Basel), Laboral (Gijón), and many more. Her early online work re-move.org (1999–2003) is a part of Rhizome’s Net Art Anthology."

"description": "“LIA is an original, she’s created generative art with code and released it online since the 1990s. Through the aughts, teens, and twenties, she has continued to explore performance, animation, sculpture, and drawings created with her custom software. Her early work was a strong influence for me personally — it helped motivate me to learn how to code back in the 1990s. ‘Cube_1997’ is an iconic work for that moment in LIA’s work. When a2p was launched in 2019, it didn’t support generative software, so LIA converted her code to the video you can watch here. When Feral File was launched in 2021, software artwork was supported so work like LIA’s could be seen the way the artist intended.” —Casey REAS\n“‘Cube_1997’ was never lost. Its creator, LIA, brought forth its existence in 1997 using the power of her mouse and her keyboard and her will (and some electricity, too); it had failed to sufficiently please her at the time and, after just a few years, she abandoned it, and it lay, forgotten, in a folder within a folder, at a dark corner in the furthest reaches of her realm of ancient backups. But things that are only forgotten are not actually lost; things that are only hidden can be found once more. It has been 22 years since ‘Cube_1997’ was forged and, even if many things have changed meanwhile, many things are still the same: a pixel is still a pixel, black is still 0x000000, white is still 0xFFFFFF, and LIA still loves both black and white with all her heart. Like love letters to a former self, ‘Cube_1997’ was rediscovered and recovered, and brought into the 21st Century with much care and love. Sadly, not all things can be preserved in such a transition, and what was once a fully living and breathing application, capable of generating an infinite number of images forever (albeit at a somewhat shabby resolution of 640×480), can, today, only manage 24 seconds in one sitting — but for that 24 seconds, ‘Cube_1997’ shines forth in glorious 1080p.” —Damian Stewart, writing about LIA’s work on a2p in 2019\nLIA debuted new work on Feral File in the first exhibition, Social Codes, in March 2021."

"description": "“This fascinating artwork by Alan Butler completes a circle from simulation to physical artifact to simulation. As he describes, the plants we see here were captured from video games. The images were then used to create cyanotypes — an early form of photography that results in blue images — which were then animated into a new landscape to produce the final series of video vignettes. This work derives from Alan’s Virtual Botany Cyanotypes series of artworks (2016–present), an homage to the cyanotype algae studies created by Anna Atkins in the 19th Century.” —Casey REAS\n“For years, I have been making photo-chemical cyanotype prints of plants, which I have sourced and extracted from video game worlds. Basically: physical, material images made by exposing digital flora through real sunlight. (There’s a handful of examples on my site.) This video is an experiment to take those cyanotype plants back into the simulated realm, and give them new life as growing, pixely-photochemical-paper entities.” —Alan Butler"

"text": "Kim Asendorf is a German visual artist who works with conceptual strategies and generative systems to create abstract animations, images and sculptures. The pixel is the main building block in Asendorf's work, seemingly alive in his abstractions, or rearranged in his iconic Pixel Sorting aesthetics.\nHis abstract visual systems are conceptually set and realized in algorithms that are open to a wide range of interpretations. He is working on a per-pixel level to create worlds that mix simplicity with complexity, that never sleep, and that can put the viewer in a mesmerizing state. He loves to experiment, is driven by curiosity, and finds satisfaction when the results of his work surprise himself. With roots in Net Art, he likes to keep his work easily accessible, and the Internet is his favorite canvas."

At the present moment, when many generative art projects are reliant on references to historical painting and drawing, Kim’s work is unique in its commitment to kinetic and inherently digital composition.” —Casey REAS\nKim’s solo exhibition on Feral File, COLORS OF NOISE, was released in May 2023. This was a breakthrough in his work, as it was the first time he combined generative audio and images."
