“Each Untitled Film Still image is a frame from an imagined film,” REAS says. “The idea is to reveal another reality within the original film, something that has the character of the original work, but is transformed into something else. A film is a perspective from which to view the world, and a set of Untitled Film Still images are a unique view of the original film that produces a new and alternate reality in an unexpected way.”

Big announcement! 💥

Join us on October 6 from 7-10 pm for the opening reception of “Conjured Terrain”, a solo exhibition by pathbreaking new media artist , at Vellum LA.

Curated by , , and , “Conjured Terrain” includes new works from the artist’s acclaimed “Untitled Film Stills” (UFS) project and related videos known as “Compressed Cinema.”

Reas’s work stands in contrast to popular narratives about art created using code, especially given the recent hype around AI image generators, which have been trained on vast datasets and are able to produce plausible imagery in many styles when a user “prompts” them. For “Conjured Terrain”, Reas engages machine learning as material not to quickly produce a functional image, but instead to thoughtfully examine imagery’s ability to contain and convey realities.

There’s undoubtedly a tremendous degree of technical rigor involved in the creation of “Untitled Film Stills” and “Compressed Cinema”, but there’s an even greater degree of an artist’s intuition about which works express an idea that can’t be expressed any other way, a dance between the latent information in the original datasets and what’s ultimately cultivated in the outputs. These are artworks that stand alone as discrete objects while simultaneously engaging in a dialogue with the processes and inputs involved in their creation.

It’s a huge pleasure to showcase such an important body of work at Vellum. RSVP using the link in the bio.

Overview of ‘s solo exhibition at Vellum, titled "Brief Histories of Simulated Lifeforms."

Curated by and , the exhibition features artworks from two of Crespo's collections: "Artificial Natural History" and "Sediment Nodes." Together, these pieces highlight a deep connection between the physical and digital realms. Crespo challenges the conventional binary view of these two domains, suggesting that they can mutually enrich one another with valuable insights.

This exhibition delves into the intricate notion of domicile and communal identity, envisioning the prospective "us" - the forthcoming virtual entities.
