We are proud to present [a series of 5 videos](/brody-condon) by artist [Brody Condon](/brody-condon), recorded in 2014. 

The Berlin based artist (b. Mexico 1974) often facilitates and documents game-like group encounters that experientially probe dissociative phenomena. His work is best known for its early influence on re-purposing computer games and LARP techniques ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brody_Condon)).

Condon's work has been widely exhibited internationally, and been acquired by public collections such as the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Albright-Knox Gallery, and the Kadist Foundation.

The 5 video works are each available in an edition of [3 non-fungible Ethereum tokens](https://left.gallery/work/evp-amie). These tokens are progressively priced: respectively 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 ether, and sold on a [first-come, first-served basis](https://left.gallery/work/possession-janet) (no auction).

We like to thank our friends at [Folia](https://www.folia.app/) and Alberto Granzotto for their support.

Auriea Harvey

Medium: HTML Webpage with 3D sculptural elements. The work is augmented reality accessible and includes a 3D-printed sculpture for up to 100 collectors, who must initially claim it for an additional fee. Dimensions: Variable-----------About The Work: Auriea Harvey’s work is often about an engage with a particular story, in which the artist casts 3D scans of her body or others into characters. In Stygian Hand, Harvey depicts a first version digital sculpture from her series Finding the Eye, which retells the story of the Stygian Witches of Greek mythology. Named Deino, Enyo, and Pemphredo, these three sisters had but one eye and one tooth between them which they shared. Here the viewer finds the hand of a grotesque cthonic elder ossified to stone, holding a petrified eyeball. Presented for display in this show as an interactive augmented reality web installation of a 3D sculpture, Stygian Hand is collectable as an expanded internet artwork via a standard artist website sales contract. Collector will be transfered the DNS registration for the online public artwork, and once acquired 100 limited printable editions of Stygian Hand will become available on Shapeways as an acessible artist multiple for apprecitaion.-----------About the Artist: Auriea Harvey is a 3D artist producing simulations and sculptures that bridge tangible and digital space. After plumbing the depths of net art and video games, she has now turned her attention to 3D modeling, printing, and mixed reality. Her work is presented as sculptures that blend digital and handmade production. She begins with 3D models, which are then produced as synthetic prints and blended with organic materials by hand. The sculptures are complemented by AR versions that defy reality, or placed in digital environments where they take on new life. Harvey is half of the artist duo Entropy8Zuper!/Tale of Tales/Song of Songs, known for their pioneering works in Internet art, video games, and XR.-----------About The Purchase: The full collector package, is exclusively available through a private link that can only be transferred via the previous collector, TRANSFER, or left.gallery. -----------Collector with private link will receive: 1 .

‘Abstraction & Reasoning Corpus’ (arc) presents a fictional training set for agent reasoning testing for concepts such as hierarchy, object permanence, and symmetry. Inspired by the work of AI researcher François Chollet, the work plays on ideas relating to pattern recognition in human and machine learning.

Jasmijn Visser

The work draws its title from a personal tale. Ruth, the artists’ grandmother, earned her livelihood producing mechanisms for industrial clocks in the Burk factory in the Black Forest. There she drilled holes in gears for over three decades. An infamous protagonist in the Burk factory was known as The Stopper. Once a month, he would monitor the workers’ productivity and efficiency, one at a time. On a small stool, he sat by Ruth, and audited her production and assembly pace, stopping the time with the finishing of each tiny element. Careful not to work either faster or slower than usual, she would work on the mechanics in complete synchronicity with The Stopper. With this act a tiny universe was created: The Stopper stopping time in the time production factory.

In an era marked by efficiency protocols, digitisation, and decreasing attention spans, Jasmijn Visser’s work The Stopper pays tribute to mechanics and manual labor. The Stopper is a website that renders visible the universal notion of the violence within the act of stopping.

A project by Jasmijn Visser in collaboration with Jungki Beak, designed by S†ëfan Schäfer, programming by Daniel Farr, and commissioned by Kunsthalle Amsterdam in co-production with the Moscow Biennial For Young Art. A subsequent edition of The Stopper was be shown at Song Eun Project Space in Seoul September 2018, in collaboration with Delfina Foundation.

The ability to understand and share other people’s feelings and problems is known as empathy. On the web page empathi.cc, a graphic element can be moved and mimic graphic attributes from its neighbors. In the piece, this style transfer is considered as a technical equivalent of empathy, where the distance between objects triggers graphic mutations. Consequently, the main graphic element gets affected by an accumulating memory of style properties depending on its path. a synthetic echolocation system produces sounds that evolve with the distance variables. this piece has an auto-play mode.

Each sale will result in either the attribution of an existing gaphic object, or the addition of a new graphic object in the page, with which it will be possible to interact.  
10 existing objects can be named after the buyer’s choice  
20 new object can be created and named after the buyer’s choice

“A beautiful typographic river is near the company. its name is ‘river (typography).’”

“In typography, rivers (or rivers of white) are gaps in typesetting which appear to run through a paragraph of text due to a coincidental alignment of spaces. Rivers can occur regardless of the spacing settings, but are most noticeable with wide inter-word spaces caused by full text justification or monospaced fonts. Rivers are less noticeable with proportional fonts, due to narrow spacing. Another cause of rivers is the close repetition of a long word or similar words at regular intervals, such as ‘maximization’ with ‘minimization’ or ‘optimization’.”

Niko Princen

"I believe that the arts which aim at imitating the creations of nature originated in the following way: in a tree trunk, a lump of earth, or in some other thing were accidentally discovered one day certain contours that needed only a very slight change to look strikingly like some natural object. Noticing this, people tried to see if it were not possible by addition or subtraction to complete what still was lacking for a perfect likeness. Thus by adjusting and removing outlines and planes in the way demanded by the object itself, men achieved what they wanted, and not without pleasure. From that day, man's capacity to create images grew apace until he was able to create any likeness, even when there was no vague outline in the material to aid him."

hyphenation is a typographic operation: by dividing words (usually at the end of a line on a page) with a dash ("-"),  information can be fit efficiently on a piece of paper. the written word is chopped up, based on semi-systematic hyphenation rules, that mimic the sound in our minds, when we trace and pronounce the words with our eyes.

unlike paper, on the internet there are no finite bounds. text can flow freely on the screen, expanded by scrollbars. in this work, an automated computer voice is programmed to (clumsily) read out the word segments. this brings the text on the webpage back to its printed predecessor, and from print back to spoken word.
