RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE?

ORGANIC DIGITAL ART

I describe my digital output as 'organic'. The primary reason for this is to distinguish it from generative/derivative AI.

The creative use of AI is a complex, contentious and nuanced issue. However, what essentially matters for me is the intention behind the creative act.

Personally - and except for the express purposes of juxtaposition - I choose to source and or create everything for myself from within the physical world when trying to communicate an intentional statement in a sensory aesthetic form.

So everything you see in my work is an IRL object or pattern that has then been digitally manipulated by my own act/agency.

MUSIC GRAFFITI

MUSIC GRAFFITI is a series of textured immersive 'phygital' music paintings. The genesis of each painting is a visual interpretation of a musical idea or thought.

Beyond that it is an exploration of a sequence of recursive phase space transformations between the sensory spaces of Sound & Vision, Music & Art and physical/digital forms.

Each MUSIC GRAFFITI has a corresponding digital art remix and PHREAK MUSIC soundscape that are generated recursively using either audio or visual seeds from the previous transformation.

FEEDBACK LOOPS

"Destroy a canvas and you make shapes" - Gustav Metzger

The artistic premise behind the FEEDBACK LOOPS project is to start with a single visual symbol of music/sound - the MUSIC GRAFFITI paintings - and then to explore a sequence of recursive phase space transformations between the sensory spaces of Sound & Vision, Music & Art and physical/digital forms.

FEEDBACK LOOPS artworks include FRACTAL and/or FRACTURED GROOVE digital art, PHREAK MUSIC soundscapes, audiovisual collages, augmented reality installations, etc

The GLITCH BREAKS variations are a series of remixes of the original painting images into both visual MP4 video artworks and physical Art prints.

GLITCH BREAKS

GLITCH BREAKS are audiovisual remix artworks derived from a physical MUSIC GRAFFITI painting using the FEEDBACK LOOPS methodology.

A painting is scanned into digital format, which is then re-scanned using visual synthesis to create an audio signature or call-sign - which (qualitatively) determines the musical key of the original painting.

This key signature is then combined with a suite of audio stems in the same key to create an aural PHREAK MUSIC soundscape.

"The quintessence of musical dynamism and tonality captured in a still image.

The perfectly delineated single note, itself filled with energy and infinite potential, against the horizontal lines of time.

This picture fascinates and enthrals me."

D.M. Musician & Producer, Suffolk, UK.

DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC NOISE

'DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC NOISE' is a series of recursive artworks including physical/digital installation, digital/video collage, PHREAK MUSIC 'Blip-Beats' and immersive art prints.

Inspired initially by a throwaway reply in an interview discussing the proliferation of both AI music and bot listeners on the major streaming platforms, the title of the series is a reference to Philip K Dick's 1968 sci-fi novel that became the basis of the 1982 film Bladerunner.

It was the first work in DI$PLACEMENT DISCO - a new series of work examining the intersection of 'Culture, Technology and Humanity' that has since been exhibited on three continents.

FREE JAZZ

"Is it Ella...or is it Memorex"

'FREE JAZZ?' is a multi-form / multisensory exploration of the new landscape for creators, curators and consumers of culture in the machine age.

It is part of the DI$PLACEMENT DISCO series of work addressing the intersection of Culture, Technology and Humanity.

FREE JAZZ was first exhibited at REDACTED in Bangkok, November 2024 - both as a big screen digital artwork and immersive metal print.

WHERE TO BUY | HOW TO BUY | WHAT TO BUY

SHUT UP & TAKE MY MONEY!

We recently took the decision to withdraw from direct e-commerce / social commerce due to the time-sink of running a full-time fulfilment operation.

Going forward we will be running an intermittent series of Art Drops exclusively available to subscribers of the Outer Limits newsletter - you can sign up below if you would like to know what's coming and when/where.

We will also be making work available through a limited number of partner galleries and platforms. If you are interested in showing some of the existing or new work, then please get in touch. (We are only looking for gallery partners who either sell physically IRL or who have the capability to fulfil orders themselves.)

Work available will be original paintings, installation objects, limited edition giclée's, limited edition canvas prints and immersive art prints.
