AI, give me a hand

as part of the expo I showed my new series, AI, give me a hand I was able to show these works.

embodied protocol - Performance

I swapped my studio for a pop-up studio in Scheldewindeke, where I did a 3-day performance with Conrad Willems. Starting from a blank canvas, Conrad and I worked for 18 hours to fill this canvas over the course of three days. We both had our own approach. Conrad draws his lines using his pen and his hands, while I use an intermediate step. I use code to describe what I want to see, and a robot to draw it.

Performance output for sale

This work was an ongoing exploration of how we could collaborate. But we also had a mission to create a nice piece that the visitors could support and hang on the wall. As the work itself is a performance, we did not know where we would end up. Thus we divided the work in a grid. 16x4 A3 pieces that visitors could buy in a rusing price mechanism. The less drawing there was, the cheaper the price. Thus people would buy a cheap, but empty piece (that would chnage a lot later on) or a more elaborated piece that already had a clear direction later on in the sales process. Each piece sold increased the price of the next piece. The more risk you took, by buying an early, empty piece, the cheaper it was.

The work is done, but we still have parts for sale. The risk is gone, so there is a first come first served and fixed price policy now. Please send an email to ask about availability and pricing. Have a look in detail below.
