“If all your prayers were answered, would it change the world, or just yours?” - Unknown

In the near past, a global phenomenon occurred which has since been erased from our memories. Due to the arrival of a strange vessel from the future, a Spiritual Machine from outer space, each human being on the planet had one prayer answered every 24 hours. The Vessel was a spiritually conscious spaceship, energy station and a prayer gateway. Its divine algorithms and foresight technology determined the selection of prayers it chose to answer.

The vessel appeared in countless forms. We later learned that the vessel uniquely manifested itself depending on the personal biases of the individual witnessing it. In the phenomena's early days, the vessel, to some Islamophobic journalists, resembled a Mosque-like shape. So the media dubbed it SpaceMosque. The moniker stuck through the course of the phenomenon.

During its time here, the vessel answered billions of prayers. Our global reality was changed overnight. The impact of this arrival led to both great miracles and great tragedies. Greed and morality were at constant war, and prayer eventually became the de facto universal currency.

As abruptly as it appeared, The vessel vanished. Along with any memory of its existence, save for a few remnants of glitched stories and artifacts spread around the globe. We do not know the reason for The Vessel’s arrival or its departure, but our findings reveal that global riots due to the commoditization of prayers may have led to it. A popular theory among researchers of the phenomenon is that enough people on the planet prayed for it to leave and all to be forgotten. Or perhaps it was just a divine experiment. 

This is the first time that some of these artifacts and discoveries are being shared with the world. Most of the findings in this exhibit have been retrieved from sources in Pakistan and Egypt. More data from Europe and the Americas is emerging every day. You are invited to decipher this forgotten era with us.

Deconstruct to Reconstruct, 2021

Reserve Price: 3 ETH

Deconstruct to Reconstruct is about taking a subject matter and breaking it down into components whilst reconstructing it into larger frameworks which both alter and expand upon the meaning inherent to the original idea. This particular piece combines art , technology and architecture forcing the viewer to explore new realities and alter one's perspective of what is actually real or fantasy? With the use of immersive media today, it is proving to be a powerful storytelling medium and completely changing how we interact with the world around us. With augmented reality techniques, we can now merge digital content with the physical world to create and deliver next-generation experiences. Everything becomes a creative canvas to the millions of artists who want to tell their stories in new and exciting ways, the impossible becomes a new reality, and the only limit is our imaginations.

Undream I, 2018

Reserve Price: 4 ETH

Undream depicts an imagined future where utopia and dystopia collapse, inspired by the photomontages of Superstudio – a major force in the Radical architecture and design movement of the late 1960s. Undream leads the viewer through an isolated landscape, overhung by a monumental structure. The architecture morphs between impossible surfaces and underlying order, interfering with the landscape as it undulates in and out of existence. Swept up in this movement, we are suspended in an impossible abandoned territory between the built environment and the natural world.

Kristen Roos
Ultra Deluxe Ville, 2021-2022

Reserve Price: 3 ETH

Ultra Deluxe Ville takes its name from the vintage paint software that it was created with - Ultrapaint & Deluxe Paint (Macintosh & Amiga 1990-91). The architectural structures were inspired by Vancouver’s cityscape, where Kristen currently resides. The patterns found in the buildings and screens in Ultra Deluxe Ville reference historic paint patterns found in paint and draw software with similar user interfaces from the 1980’s and 1990’s. These patterns also inform Kristen’s textile work, and speak of the connection between weaving patterns, looms and the history of paint software for early personal computers.

Nicolas Sassoon
WINDOW (arch), 2022

WINDOW (arch) is an animation created in January 2022 using a digital moiré patterning technique, consisting of two overlapping images to generate the illusion of a third image. The composition pictures an arched window framing an abstract and polychromatic landscape, overlooking a sun-like orb. Fauvist works by Henri Matisse and André Derain were inspirational for WINDOW (arch), with its bright and expressionistic rather than representational color palette. These color choices and patterning effects also relate to histories of depicting architectures and landscapes in optical art and computer graphics.

Medium: Digital moiré animation (animated GIF, .mp4), 256 colors

Duration:  72 frames, 25fps

Resolution: Variable dimensions. WINDOW (arch) can be adjusted to various displays; the owner of this NFT can request custom versions of the artwork to fit the resolution of specific displays.

Monument of Errors, 2022

A collage of structural trials. In this virtual place, the column, capital, and its pedestals are artifacts of a physical building. Here, they struggle to discover a familiar purpose. Colonnades weave across and in between one another, seeking anchors. The resulting architecture is a diagram of dead branches, of futures not achieved.
