There's No Distance by Casey REAS

Description

“There’s No Distance” is a new long-form generative art release in the Still Life series, created for fxhash and the “It Doesn't Exist (In Any Other Form)” exhibition at the bitforms gallery in New York on view 9 November 2023 – 12 January 2024. Each “still life” is a composition of cubes, one of the five Platonic solids, composed of and presented as simulation and information. There’s no reference to the natural world — the subject is conceptual geometry. This work engages my interest in the space between the subjective experience of being in the world versus the objective, analytical way the world is measured, divided, and defined. The title of the work comes from a David Hockney statement about digital art, “There’s no distance between you and the image being made.” The Still Life series includes the original ten 1/1 “Still Life” generative artworks dating 2016–2023, “An Empty Room” at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2023, and “923 Empty Rooms” released through Bright Moments and Art Blocks in 2023. This generative system is a further evolution of the code that created the “HSB-119-006-090-1366-618 / HSB-135-006-090-1232-687” woodblock prints in 2015, the origin for all of this work. This is the final release in the series. Move the cursor (or your finger) across the image to change it.
