Dive in rich, speculative marine biodiversity! NEW WORKS BY SOFIA CRESPO EXCLUSIVELY available AT KATE VASS GALERIE

We’re glad to present new works by our dear artist Sofia Crespo; three works (3) were exclusively made and tokenized on the Ethereum blockchain and uploaded to IPFS for decentralised storage to be sold at Kate Vass Galerie Digital!

More information about the series you can find below, however we are very excited that Sofia has chosen KVG Digital and placed trust in us to tokenise her artworks and support the sales through our online store. We need more female artists in this world and we are happy to support this initiative! Enjoy the beautiful works!

About the work and the process:

“Every image is a magnitude of pixels, each a single square of colour, that form a recognizable whole: the image. If we examine them closely they degrade, lose coherence and quality. Using the photomosaic as a revitalised tool, the aim is to explore another way of thinking about the close (re)examination of the image: namely that each pixel can contain coherent, recognizable content when inspected closely: a vessel within a vessel. Simultaneously the photomosaic has the honest quality of abstracting the crisp original from which it is generated, it becomes clearly potent with detail despite its stylization. Coupled with the potentially infinite variation of the generative, a richness emerges.

The containing vessels use a convolutional neural network to create images of rich, speculative marine biodiversity. These are then populated, per pixel, with new vessels: these are the output of a GAN trained on undersea life (with a hint of terrestrial botany). These outputs contain within them a rich essence of the aquatic in potentially infinite variety, leading to a diverse, flourishing meditation upon underwater life.” Sofia Crespo
