UFO – Unidentified Fluid Other cuts loose from physical life’s gravity and explores who we are becoming in virtual worlds. While artists detect the early tremors of our approaching digital existence, and developers manoeuvre bricks in the blockchain to build metaverses, public participants are gearing up to populate this next realm with post-human identities. In a world seemingly free from fixed social constraints, with no binary labels, everyone is ‘other’. Who we evolve into is – as yet – unidentified and fluid.

Viatrix’s androgyny blurs all attempts at definition – primordial but pioneering, radiant but ravenous; with a touch that melts institutions and destroys archaic worlds.

Oseanworld - Nuradio 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗧𝗢𝗨𝗥

Oseanworld spills forth from an ever-growing collection of the artist’s comics, visuals and characters. Two of these characters, Kami 227 and Kami 334, are here to guide us through Oseanworld’s kaleidoscopic ‘Nu Radio World Tour’. Each new chapter presents a new challenge. We will be called to act: to leap, dodge and explore; to complete challenges and compete with those around us. Listen up for your instructions, and good luck!

Julius Horsthuis - Foreign Nature

In ‘Foreign Nature’, Julius Horsthuis employs computer generated fractals. Fractals are the result of various mathematical formulas. He visualises them using Mandelbulb3D – a software whose creator remains a mystery, codenamed “Jesse”. These shapes are natural objects – they are self-similar, meaning: whether zooming in or out, the code that defines them appears to recreate the whole. When micro mirrors macro (atom → cell → solar system) scale is impossible to discern. Horsthuis sees his practice less like that of a painter, architect or their digital equivalents – but more like a naturalist or documentary film-maker. The spaces we encounter are not created, but scouted for and captured.
