Solstice Aphrodite
Edition 1 of 1
An Aphrodite holds a warrior soul. She is the embodiment of love and freedom. ‘Solstice Aphrodite’ glows with the light of eros, illuminated by the waters that surround where she stakes her ground, arms raised above her head, bathed in the reflective gaze of her solitude. This piece is presented in the SuperRare exhibition “A lot of what I’m about to tell you is made up”. It is the first in a series of Aphrodites to be released on SuperRare. Dissolving ancient and modern time, the Aphrodites are reflective of my feeling that technology carries its own obsolescence, is perhaps already a ruin. Painted over the Summer Solstice 2021, on Pocket Procreate on iPhone 11 Pro, combined with hand-drawn elements.

Oracle
Edition 1 of 1
There is magic to be found in the everyday. This work is created from a single fragment of half-decayed cactus found in a field in Malta. That was five years ago, sometimes the process takes that long. You hold onto something seemingly meaningless, hoping it will reveal its secrets. This small remnant of plant-life had its own history. It lived and it died, at some point it was partially burned. Now, translated into the digital sphere it begins its next life. Animal, bird, skull, an uneasy shifting vegetal-digital form.

SINE NOMINE
Edition 1 of 1
Without a name.

Faces On Noses
Edition 1 of 1
This NFT is an animated version of a recent painting. The gradual reveal in the animation echoes the way the painting works in real life, the inching of an absurdity towards claustrophobia. A laugh that gets caught in your throat.

Kammer 4
Edition 1 of 1
My paintings always begin with a digital collage. I make many during the making of a painting. As the collage develops, so does the painting. This work contains some of the many collages I put together for my current Kammer series and expresses all the fluid permutations and serendipitous innovations inherent in this method.

RealTime
Edition 1 of 1
CG HD Video Loop + .gltf file The NAMESPACES (2021) are word combinations borrowed from programming language and internet culture. Banz & Bowinkel resort to key terms such as “abstract class” and “real time”, alienate them and use them 1: 1 to make it clear that machine logic in the real world has effects on human logic. KÖNIG GALERIE presents the digital solo exhibition LOOPS AND OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES by the German artist collective Banz & Bowinkel in Decentraland, avirtual world based on the blockchain. New digital sculptures and a selection of video loops from the early work of Banz & Bowinkel, which deal with digital image cultures, are shown. Their computer-generated art negotiates the changed conditions for the creation of images and their influence on perception.

PESA
Edition 1 of 1
PESA means money in Swahili. PESA depicts the future of the (Kenyan) currency and the interactive experience it will create with the user. The motion of the characters signifies the constant exchange of money.

Tower of Babel
Edition 1 of 1
A united human race in the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating eastward, comes to the land of Shinar . There they agree to build a city and a tower tall enough to reach heaven. God, observing their city and tower, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other, and scatters them around the world. This biblical story can also be found in Sumerian culture and resonates with the whole human history. This myth questions so many topics, from the relationships between humans, the social role of language and the power of a community. It also brings up the vanity of humans and the beauty of a unique voice. In many ways, that unique language could be assimilated to art, a form of communication that knows no boundaries. This piece was sculpted in VR, rendered in octane and then painted over in photoshop and procreate. This artwork has been especially created and won’t be used anywhere else. 1/1 png 4000×6000 pixels Every Collector that will bid on this artwork will receive an exclusive fine art print on a museum quality paper 16.5 x 23.4 inch printed with a giclee printer. The fine art prints will be limited to the bidders. First Bidder will receive number 0, and the winning collector will have the number 1.

Portrait of Artist as an Old Dog
Edition 1 of 1
A small, animated loop made on top of a unique drawing, that was specifically made for this piece of work. A drawing taken from a group of works made last year, during the first lockdown & only shown digitally over the internet from a gallery space. A body of work made while in isolation & through a kind of self-reflective despair. This piece of, “portrait of artist, as old dog” can be seen as an extension of those drawings, through an animated loop, where the only action taken place on the canvas, is a spider crawling across the surface & then falling from its silk thread. The first collector of this NFT will also receive the original physical drawing as well.

Death Loop 1: Eternal Andy
Edition 1 of 1
Death Loop 1: Eternal Andy The Structure of Feeling Original sound design composed by Mira Calix This series of NFT’s consists of loops of the artist rendered as a cartoon version of himself based on his character that narrates the film Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape and the sequel Structure of Feeling. In this work the cartoon artist is subjected to a cartoon death – based on moments of animation from classic Wile E. Coyote and Tom and Jerry Cartoons. The death is rendered as a perfect loop, never dying but caught in a perpetual cycle, as if in a digital purgatory. In Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape the artist declared that the world had become a cartoon, and to understand the world we must examine how physics and logics works in cartoons and that the artist must too become a cartoon character. In the sequel, Structure of Feeling the artist explores the outer edges of the cartoon world to see what might be coming next – a total split away from the body into a digital space, whilst simultaneous returning to an isolated, bodily existence. This series of NFT’s explores the idea of the cartoon death as metaphor: the cartoon landscape as a space where you don’t die but get temporarily bent into the form you come into contact with (a wheel, a large rock etc.) only to later bend back into shape. The sale of proceeds from this work will go directly to support the renovation and re-opening of Ex-Baldessarre, a not-for-profit project space run by the artist that has been staging exhibitions in Bedford since 2018. The carbon footprint of the minting of the NFT will be offset to the best of the artist’s ability, calculated using Arial.
