The response to the exhibition was far greater than we had imagined. Each artist took NEORT’s machine platform, and the thinking behind it, as a starting point and found their own expression on top of it. @takenstheorem @satoshi_aizawa @rudxane1 One thing became clear. By adding the element of digital computation to a machine and building work upon it, the three artists let us explore the artwork and the system and let us imagined a digital death, and let their work leave their hands so that its form could be seen more concretely. People enter that system. Simply by stepping into the room, a visitor interacts with the machine; an image emerges as its output; and people look at it again. Three small worlds were built, each with its own loop of interaction. Experiencing them one by one, we could feel, with our own bodies in front of them, what it means to live in a digital society. Giving the work a physical body brought something new to the surface. Because we see the physical, we feel the digital more strongly; because we see the machine, we sense the human. And there is a world that holds even when no one is there. It is much like what Donald Judd found w hen he came to Marfa: a world of nature and matter that goes on existing, and shining, without human interference; and when people arrive, a conversation begins and a new way of feeling is added. Judd’s minimal, conceptual world and the deeply conceptual world of the digital have something in common. I felt that connection strongly, and this exhibition showed me once again how fascinating generative art can be. I think I felt why artblocks chose to be in Marfa. This is mind blowing. Thanks for all the great opportunity, we will be back! @ArtOnBlockchain @jeffgdavis @artblocks_io
