CalipsoOS
This is a glimpse into CalipsoOS, the subconscious system running on the Proto-Machines of AvantGarden - few presentations rolling out in the coming months. Meanwhile, two new essays + my updated artist statement are now published on my site.
"...CalipsoOS captures our collective unpreparedness and inherent naivety in the face of colossal systemic changes. Rapid updates, untested developments, and ever-new versions of digital systems are constantly being deployed, often without full comprehension of their implications. This creates a pervasive sense of living through an ongoing, bizarre experiment, whether we consciously consent to it or not—from the clumsy movements of early humanoid robots in labs to the relentless pace of software development pushing new realities upon us...."
CalipsoOS
CalipsoOS is a new series of artworks emerging from the RezSelf project. It imagines a speculative, tongue-in-cheek operating system running on the Proto-Machines inhabiting the AvantGarden, exploring the subconscious life of machines and the uncanny valley of emergent AI consciousness.
In an age of endless updates and broken beta versions, CalipsoOS distills techno-evolution into a visual and sonic language. It captures the collective naivety and anxiety in the face of massive systemic change—where software pushes us into experimental realities we never asked for. Welcome to the glitch.
Ultramono Dreamwave & RezSelf
After a year in development, a new chapter in the Ultramono saga begins.
Ultramono Dreamwave is a retrowave memory engine — a magnetic archive, a laserdisc soul garden, an emergent collection of crystal-radio formations. It drifts between frequencies, revealing glimpses of forgotten utopias.
Techno assemblies — interlinked, suspended, partially exposed. Wired silence in sunset lag. Nothing is whole. Nothing is final. Tendrils of wire twist with surgical precision into post-human beings.
Ultramono Dreamwave is an exploration of the digital ether — one multi-dimensional sculpture at a time.
Within this fleeting world emerges RezSelf, a series of abstract digital compositions exploring the poetics of presence in a constantly shifting infosphere. Each piece is a Residual Self — a spectral imprint within an endless loop of perception, computation, and decay.
Formed through glitched erosions, AI-aided generation, and 3D compositing, each image reveals fluid entities in states of becoming. Not fully human, not fully artificial — these are image-constructs suspended between metadata and myth, echoing the latency of early web culture and the collective subconscious of the digital age.
More soon.
