Description

A specially commissioned edition for the Time Compiled series that also acts as a token for a yearly subscription to The Tickle - 12 monthly issues of the pre-eminent magazine for contemporary digital art and creative writing (@inwarhol@twitter.com). This artwork was created for the March 2023 issue. Each monthly issue is airdropped on the first Friday of each month to holders of the token. Primary collection activates the subscription - secondary collectors adopt the existing subscription, receiving all remaining issues. Holders also become members of The Tickle Subscribers Club, gaining access to exclusive airdrops of free art from our featured artists! Time Compiled Geological time, a paradox of both stasis and immense unending movement, encapsulates all time, and for this reason it has the assured anonymity of oblivion. It is only in the presence of geology that the authority of time becomes uncertain, even illusory. Take away the aeons and the eras, the Archeans and the Hadeans, remove the periods and epochs, the Cambrians and the Silurians, and you will see that there really is no time. Geology provokes the mind to forgo its grip on time as a thing falsely envisioned, frequently imprisoned, and so often commodified. It returns to us a time of stateless liberty; a Gaussian blur devoid of any fixity. When we gaze into a landscape or a rock we become as old as the earth itself - we become static within the instant, equipoised and immune to entropy, a cosmic dot without a measurement of movement. An appreciation of geology, then, is an alm to break the capital’s hegemony on temporality. We gain a special sensed perception through prolonged reflection, because any form of sustained interrogation becomes a meditation upon the paradox of time. The works in this collection combine generative topographics with digital rendering and photogrammetry techniques.
