Your weekly introduction to new artists on SuperRare.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands
instagram.com/dondiablo
To step inside the mind of Don Diablo is to step inside the future. The Dutch visionary demonstrates a total immersion in his craft that has seen him challenge perceptions and break down creative boundaries with his numerous endeavours across the music, art, fashion and tech realms. Displaying an almost prophetic ability to tap into future trends, the forward-thinking musician, who is currently ranked in the Top10 DJ’s of the world, is just getting started.

GΞNΞSIS by Don Diablo
Edition 1 of 1

For my GΞNΞSIS (1 of 1) piece I wanted to create something truly unique. This NFT is a magical combination of three elements: an unreleased song + a holographic synthesizer…and it comes with a physical hand built hologram cabinet + cartridge to display the art in a truly unique way in your living room. I started working on this particular song at the beginning of my career in 2001. Since then I have continued working on it every single year. I must have spent over 250 hours in total on the song and never found the right purpose or timing to share it with the world, up until now. The animation of the hologram synthesizer is based on the very first keyboard I bought as a kid, to make things truly full circle. The idea for the hexagon hologram cabinet (HEXAGRAM) and the cartridge derives from my love for both Star Wars as well as old school Nintendo gaming consoles. My genesis piece is nostalgia mixed with my vision for the future of digital art and music.

It’s Complicated.
Edition 1 of 1

It’s complicated. A one-word poem about the most complex of all emotions. This piece introduced motion into my work, allowing words to shift between different shapes and stages in order to tell a story. The piece not only compels you to read an image, but also to see its transformation as its own short narrative. Playing with this intersection of subjective and objective legibility has become the focus of many new projects I’m currently developing for future release. /// I’m committing 10% of my gross sale of these works to Carbon180, a climate nonprofit working to create a world that removes more carbon than it emits.


instagram.com/itsreuben
Visual Artist, Music Producer, & co-founder of Ladytron. In my visual work, I am driven not just by the urge to create imagery, but by a desire to explore new places as if they were unknown territory, constantly open to serendipity and with an eye for the unnoticed and the hidden. Clients include Apple, Samsung, Audi, GE, OnePlus and Acura. My work belongs to the permanent collections of the Guggenheim Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the MoMA.

Over One Hundred Worthwhile Dilemmas (XT1586)
Edition 1 of 1

A circling robot above the altiplano sand dunes of Siloli. This image is from my series “Lux Noctis”, an ongoing project depicting landscapes unbound by time and space, influenced by ideas of planetary exploration, chiaroscuro painting, and science fiction. By attaching a light to a drone, and tracing precise geometric shapes above remote landscapes at night, my work offers a new perspective, showing familiar places but under an unfamiliar light. The series was shortlisted at the 2020 Sony World Photography Awards and the eponymous book of the project has since been acquired by the Guggenheim, the Met Museum, and the MoMA. From the proceeds of this sale, I will donate a portion to the National Parks Conservation Association in an effort to reduce ecological impact, and The AAPI Community Fund to #StopAsianHate.

To preserve your sanity in the modern society you should urgently go mad. Only in this case you’ll be able to keep up with the times. It is absolutely necessary to make use of all the inventions made by mankind, even if you don’t really need them. They’ve invented radio – enjoy it! They’ve invented television – enjoy it!

Personal Informational Organism. PiO v1.1
Edition 1 of 1

PiO – Your personal informational organism. PiO – Your inseparable friend and adviser. PiO – Your personal trainer. PiO – Your personal doctor. PiO – Your guardian angel A team of dozens of bioengineers, neuroprogrammers, biochemists, pharmacists, immunologists, biochip and cutting-edge software developers worked in laboratories to build an organism capable of providing all your needs for information, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, security, and even needs that you don’t know you have yet. Forget about the constant search for a charger, you no longer need wires! This new, unusual device is a hybrid of a leech and a smartphone; it feeds on the blood of the owner, thereby maintaining its working capability: simultaneously it collects medical data (e.g.,monitoring heart rate and blood pressure, carrying out blood tests); if necessary, it can synthesize various substances, such as insulin, and introduce them into the blood of the owner. All the data collected is integrated into a single cloud-based data system about your health. It includes data obtained in other institutions, private clinics, dentists’ offices and other specialists. The data is analyzed by the latest self-learning software based on artificial intelligence. The result of this analysis is a regular Update, which is sent to PiO, and it, in turn, produces the necessary substances in its body and injects them into your bloodstream. We have added two eye-cameras in the updated version so that you can make video calls and participate in video chats and conferences. Thus, your body is under constant unobtrusive observation and gentle care, and your mind is always in touch with the information universe!

Gaderel
Edition 1 of 1

𝕲𝖚𝖎𝖑𝖉 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕱𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖊𝖓. The first angel is Gaderel. ⠀ Gaderel was cast down from Heaven to Earth by higher powers, and froze in the atmosphere during the dramatic moment of the triumph of some Gods over others. We decided to move away from the existing religious overtones and create our own story, changing both the looks of the characters and their characters, but preserving the eternal concept of the struggle between Good and Evil, Light and Dark.

The Winner Is…
Edition 1 of 1

A new musical work paired with an animation + Interactive NFT : The collector gets to finish the title with a mutually agreeable name/phrase after the auction. If you’re the collector, it will go live on Bandcamp, Soundcloud, and other music platforms with your chosen finished phrase. When the art gets resold, so will the naming rights. The music was a joyous but laborious process, recording Trumpet, Euphonium, Piano, Tuba, Clarinet, Zurna, percussion, and chopping them all up into intricate samples.This piece took about 100 hours to create. The result is a funky, global affair, with some musical easter eggs to discover. I recently put out a 14 track album “Osmanity” – this is the unreleased 15th track, with a spin. The visual is a collaboration with Dylan Casano, a brilliant digital designer. His career is really starting to blow up and we sort of came up together over the last few years. Fun fact: we actually met randomly being neighbors in the same apartment building. After countless late nights talking about the nature of art, music and society, we knew we’d be working together for a long time to come.

THE BLOOMING PEACE
Edition 1 of 1

This animation is influenced by the events in May, 2020. We live in a great time where people have all the means to live a full and safe life, so we must not let our basic instincts take over.

Alexandre Farto

 

Portugal
vhils.com
Alexandre Farto (b. 1987) has been interacting visually with the urban environment under the name of Vhils since his days as a prolific graffiti writer in the early 2000s. Vhils has presented his work in over 30 countries in solo and group exhibitions, site-specific art interventions and projects in various contexts – from working with communities to collabs with Art institutions such as the Centre Pompidou, Barbican Centre, CAFA Art Museum in Beijing, MAAT in Lisbon or 104 Paris , among others.

Hint
Edition 1 of 1

First explored to further emphasize his destructive approach to creation, Vhils’ work with explosives should be seen as a natural progression from his original bas-relief carving technique used on walls. According to Vhils, walls retain within their layers something of the history and essence of the city which can be symbolically exposed when he carves through them. By employing explosive charges to reveal these portraits and compositions, Vhils takes this concept to its logical conclusion. This original technique was first employed in 2010 for the Detritos (Detritus) series of art videos as a visual metaphor for the social and economic volatility brought on by the 2008 global financial crisis. As such, both this and the subsequent series speak of how, at times of turmoil, the veneer of civilization we take for granted can easily explode and bring forth previously tamed expressions of intolerance, extremism, and violence that simmer beneath the surface. As the entire process is not only eruptive but also fast and dramatic, its result can only be truly appreciated on video. Most of these have been shot using a high-speed digital camera which enables the artist to capture the moment at a very low speed that seems to almost freeze the flying debris, creating a slow-motion poetic intensity conducive to reflection.

Neverland
Edition 1 of 1

With Neverland, the aim was to capture the beauty and mystical nature of the iconic windmills found in the Netherlands. This piece incorporates my trademark surreal twist with the floating island and is one of the leading pieces in my Enter The Mind series, with this piece exploring my feelings following my visit to the Netherlands in December of 2019. The name an obvious play on the Netherlands and the phrase to ‘never land’, to live in your blissful euphoric state above ground and never give up that beautiful feeling.


Ricardo Rivera

 

Philadelphia, PA

I am 46 and am the son of immigrants. A self taught media artist, I create immersive site specific video light and sound experiences. Much of my work is either commercial or purely artistic. Although the work is made to be experienced in real life, the common thread is the video medium and a hyper real cyberdigital vibe. There are so many screen based digital moments created along the way that are pieces in and of themselves. Chaotic moments that are purely digital.

Mixtapes For Lou Part 2
Edition 1 of 1

An animation I created in the early 2000s of blank audio cassettes. This is my original animation of several blank tapes in montage form. I have used this base animation for so many visuals for live shows over the years. In memoriam of Lou Ottens, the inventor of the audio cassette, I release this animation that has been so dear and near my heart for so many years. The love note of my generation. Thanks for facilitating the breaking of hearts through the music we love. Part 2.

Away From Keyboard
Edition 1 of 1

“Away From Keyboard. Where you used to belong.” [005 of 013 in Mark Flood’s “Dominoes” series]. The increasingly feeble-minded Flood has suggested that he views his perfect NFTs as “souls” and the relatively flawed paint-on-canvas versions as “bodies that are born in blood, struggle, suffer, and eventually die.” Flood’s NFTs are digital designs created by the artist over the last five years. They are created with the same novel techniques Flood used for other traditional painting series to “hyper-evolve” corporate logos, US Flags, Rothko paintings, and typography.

A meteoric black egg quietly sits in an algae-filled stream, its artificial presence is surreal, as life in the forest inherently is. The egg is the original alchemical symbol for the first beginning and the last end of life. And this scene, in which the electric green of the algae could be as much toxic pollution as it could be primordial life, suggests the deep past and near future, the beginning and the end, are right here together.

Emmy award winning artist, Raoul Marks, first created a title sequence featuring an astronaut for the Semi-Permanent design festival in 2015. In the spirit of open source, he released the authoring files for others to freely use and repurpose. They have since been downloaded well over 40,000 times, seeding the proliferation of astronaut artworks that subsequently flooded Instagram and crypto platforms. Minted from the original as a unique NFT, this is the OG Astro. Rendered as a looping video, it captures an astronaut in a slow motion tumble through space, musing on the isolation and solitude of the artist’s practice.

Psychosis, Mushroom Field
Edition 1 of 1

This NFT is a delusion borne of an amalgamation of intense desire and paranoia in the mind of Sarah Kane, who was the cult British playwright of the 90s. Likely one of the most provocative NFT artworks minted on SuperRare, “Mushroom Field” is part of the “Psychosis” series, originally conceived as a video stage design for a theatre production reinterpreting Sarah Kane’s “4:48 Psychosis” at Electrotheatre Stanislavsky in Moscow. The NFT’s Verisart certificate includes access to the preview of the full 18-minute “Psychosis” video, which the artists have not shared with the public. AES+F is a collective of four Russian artists (T. Arzamasova, L. Evzovich, E. Svyatsky, and V. Fridkes) with studios in Berlin, New York, and Moscow. The group was founded as AES in 1987 and evolved to AES+F with the addition of Fridkes in 1995. They define their practice as a “social psychoanalysis” through which they explore and reveal the deeply-rooted values, vices, and conflicts within contemporary global culture.

Edition 1 of 1

Southern Interior is erotica by a machine, for machines and machine adjacent readers. It is a short story written entirely by Sirena V.032021, the first neural network and natural language processing (NLP) model Chan programmed and trained. The Borgesian like story is told through a looped sequence of QR codes. Physically impossible sexual positions, gender dysphoria, tense disagreements, and a peculiar correlation between the perverse and the divine are featured in Southern Interior. Such sentiments are typically treated as “noise” in NLP research and corporate machine learning sectors. Here, it is the only signal that matters.
