I met a traveller from an antique land,  
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, tell that its sculptor well those passions read which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; and on the pedestal, these words appear: my name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away.”  
- BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY (1818)

Music listened to whilst drawing Ozymandias: 
Hiroshi Yoshimura (吉村 弘) - Soundscape 1: Surround (1986)  
Boards of Canada - Music has the right to children (1998)  
Brian Eno - Music for airports (1978)  
Burial - Antidawn (2022)

The Endless Summer

The Voyager Golden Disc has fascinated me for a long time - it’s not exactly science, is it? It’s conceptual art: a golden vinyl on a record player, drifting through space. Bleeding bonkers! Imagine it up there right now, journeying across the universe, the rarest record in the universe …

Perhaps imagining this place brings it into existence somehow, touching the edge of the universe in the only way we can together - in the vessel of an idea - travelling at the speed of thought.

👁 HYPNOS 🌙 is an interactive meta-media sculpture centred on a bronze bust of HYPNOS, the ancient Greek god of sleep.

The god gazes across a void, toward a glowing tech stack — complete with CRT monitor, laser beams!, webcam + more.

The entire body of HYPNOS — the sculpture, machines, and all supporting gear — is included in the sale. 
Everything fits into two custom-built crates, which may be stored either by myself or by the collector, ready to be deployed anytime ...

OVERVIEW - 

︎ AWAKE ︎
A loud hand-clap or sudden movement awakens HYPNOS — its laser-drawn eyes fixed on the CRT ahead as it loops through thousands of iconic animated gifs.

︎ ASLEEP ︎
Left undisturbed, HYPNOS drifts back to sleep — its eyes shift into crescent moons, as the CRT transitions to a live feed of the sculpture quietly watching, and dreaming, of itself.

HYPNOS is built on T.R.A.C.E by TransientLabs - A new protocol securing the authenticity of next-generation physical artworks via verifiable records inscribed on-chain. Proper.
