Habib William Kherbek

Retrodiction is a collection of video poems created in dialogue with the urban geography of Berlin. Over the course of three months, Kherbek collected images of found, or, to use Kherbek's term, "second-hand", language that he encountered in the city and then wrote poems using the found language as titles for the works.

The 45 works that constitute Retrodiction extend ideas developed in two earlier projects, Ephemera (2014), a video collection of 45 poems posted to Youtube featuring the writer reading original works composed over 45 days in London, and Are You Free from Sin? (2015), a "second-hand language" project involving words Kherbek found while living in New York City which he subsequently arranged into a poem and live-posted on Instagram. The poems of Retrodiction exist in literary, sonic and visual dimensions, engaging technologies of distribution and mediation as much as language itself.

Donna Quesada, known to her fans as Donna Dulce, is on a quest to produce the greatest content the web has ever seen. Her vlog, Donna Dulce’s Delicious Dinners, has elevated her from unknown avocado-poster to tier-1 influencer with dizzying speed. Join Donna and her sidekick, the faithful Pansy Szabo, as they livestream their rise to the top. Whether they’re doing a ride-along at the camel races in Dubai, facing off against Special Branch during protests at threatened Scottish wind farms, or tracking down their own lost inspirations in the mountains of Spain, they never take a day off - except when it’s time for self-care. Sometimes, the story doesn’t always turn out as Donna expects it to, but that’s just part of the fun. After all, every post is a journey. Every day is a new adventure.

Technofeudalism Rising (2nd Edition)

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.
