The human comes into being with first light and builds a condition for embodied survival, the human landscape. Once established and growing, we realise the current state will not be enough, we build vertical portals in search of more. In this process we forget the need for balance and face the consequence and collapse. We feel that our only option is to look beyond and continue with our vertical prospecting until we find a condition that lends itself to replicate our systems again with the first light…The Prospecting Loop, takes us through a series of provocations that evolve as drawings: - first light - human landscape - vertical portals - consequence and collapse - vertical prospecting – pulsate in a looped rhythm that represents the artist’s question of our motivation to prospect new conditions and territories. In the context of this exhibition and project, he reflects on his own history of working between the digital and physical and poses himself the question of the new loop that he is about to start. Ink drawings, barely dry and constantly shifting on handmade paper become a stop frame animation loop that positions itself as a new form of prospecting - the NFT.
