"In healthy doses, nostalgia can be a warm security blanket that allows us to heal, giving us the strength to take another step forward when dealing with anxieties about the future." – Skye Nicolas

Ranging from large format paintings, filmmaking, photography, public space interventions, sculpture, and digital artworks, post-conceptual artist Skye Nicolas blends elegantly composed amalgamations of vivid imagery with familiarity and the skewing of timelines through various means of precisely executed appropriation. His thoughtful method of reassigning of pop culture references reveals a complex interweaving of key components in his work, highlighting concept and composition as core fundamentals.

He investigates the role of memory in the post-internet age through intimate conversation and hidden dialogue wherein nostalgia plays a vital ingredient in defining a recognizable visual language and signature style. The complex interweaving of a conceptually layered armature and a visually poetic distillation process inspires the creation of works that feature a recurring theme that he refers to as Induced Nostalgia. This cerebral phenomenon elucidates the full bandwidth of an induced visceral experience manifested in the transmission and exploration of personal narratives and private myths—inviting us to reflect and reconcile with the powerful forces and events that have shaped our present selves.

Skye Nicolas has shown in New York City, London, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Calgary, and at the Dallas Contemporary art museum. His work has been featured in Kunstforum International, Whitewall magazine, Vogue España, and Self Service. As co-founder of the art collective Organic Material, he has created work for the collective’s collaborative project, Event Horizon, which debuted during the first Art NFT Linz festival at the Francisco Carolinum Linz Museum, UNESCO City of Media Arts Linz, Austria. The work, entitled Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Skies Are Blue, has since been added to the museum’s permanent collection.

Skygolpe combines various digital and analog elements to create a hybrid result that exists somewhere between the virtual and real worlds. His paintings are obtained by superimposing different layers of physical and digital painting. The acrylic paint deposited on the canvas is confronted with underlying materials and patterns, generating a dialogue that breaks a precise pattern of monothematic definition of painting to embrace new formal and heterogeneous solutions.

Skygolpe has been featured in the Museum of Contemporary Digital Art and the Museum of Crypto Art and continues to be at the forefront of the fine art movement within the NFT space.

Heinrich Heidersberger (1906-2006) was a photographer. Just like his medium of choice, which gradually changed from a medium of documentation into an independent medium of art during the course of the 20th century and was marked by introspection well into the 1970s, he, as an artist, continually called his work into question, transcended the technical restrictions with inventiveness and skill and openly examined the conflict of free and artistic work in his body of work.


He devoted himself to the claim of embracing a new, contemporary way of looking at things early on in his work. Some very early impulses undoubtedly date back to the time he spent in Paris. From 1928 to 1931, he studied painting there and experienced what he termed as a "sign of fate" when he purchased a used wooden camera at the Marché aux Puces, which later led him to discover the world of photography.

Heidersberger's efforts to convey contemporary expression are also testimony to the vision of the modern arts to unite function and aesthetics, economic, technical and social aspects. Heidersberger never withdrew to an elitist, artistic position that is ultimately without consequences. He decided in favor of a picture language and practice that utilized the new technical opportunities available and actively shaped them as well. Consequently, he has earned the title of master of the modern age par excellence.

Crosslucid is an artist collective co-founded by Sylwana Zybura and Tomas C. Toth in 2018. They engage in collaborative cross-disciplinary projects in co-evolution with technology. Their work and research converge around the exploration of the self as a network; intimacy and the potential for pleasurable actualization through the digital sphere; and the re-imagination of human alliances with technology as part of a sympoietic biosphere and universal post-material consciousness.

Through filmmaking, poetic artificial intelligence, multi-layered techniques of collage and assemblage, and experience-led interventions, they create scenarios and build experiential formats that instigate prototyping and rehearsing potential futures and advance metamodern values.

The conceptual artist Andy Kassier (*1989) lives and works in Berlin. His work includes installations, performances, photography, videos, sculptures and painting. In 2018, he graduated with distinction in Media Arts from the Academy of Media Arts Cologne, where he studied with Mischa Kuball and Johannes Wohnseifer, among others.

In 2013, he created his alter ego Andy Kassier, who ironically breaks the narrative of wealth and happiness in late capitalist society. On Instagram and in international solo and group exhibitions, he continuously develops the long-term performance according to the current zeitgeist. How does photography change in the digital age, when images become the medium of communication and at the same time the medium of photography is expanded through performances and livestreams? In exhibition spaces, Kassier sets up installations and performs and streams live on social media.

Twitter:

Kassier observes phenomena in social media and the development of digital image cultures. Based on his findings, he searches in his artistic work for answers to currently socially relevant questions: What is happiness? (the science of happiness, Pop; 68, Cologne, 2016) How do I become successful? (On the Internet, Nobody Knows You're a Performance Artist. Andy Kassier and Signe Pierce, NRW- Forum Düsseldorf, 2018) How is masculinity portrayed? (How To Take A Selfie, Goethe-Zentrum Baku, Azerbaijan, 2019) How do I accept myself? (Link in Bio. Art After Social Media, Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig, 2019/2020) What is the role of the artist in the digital age? (palm down, HANZ.studio, Gallery Weekend Berlin, 2020).

Chris Drange (*1983, Germany) studied at the International Center of Photography in New York and at the Art Students League of New York. Drange received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts in 2015 and a master's degree in painting in 2019 at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg to pursue, and later obtained his from the same university.

Drange is best known for his use of digital found objects in post-digital paintings of contemporary influencers and social media symbolism. He depicts online images and transforms them into classical oil paintings, often on large canvases. As a statement on authorship and originality, Drange doesn't paint any of his artwork. Instead, he creates sketches from various digital found objects and sends them to an oil painting factory in China, where they are painted by hand on large-scale canvases. The amalgamation of selfies, emojis, and other depictions of social media symbols is central to his art.

Drange's work has appeared in several exhibitions and magazines, such as Kunstforum, Numéro, Weserburg, Benaki Museum, MDBK Leipzig (LINK IN BIO) and KÖNIG GALERIE (THE ARTIST IS ONLINE).

Leonie Specht's work mirrors self-optimization, cuteness, and pop culture, among others, inviting the viewer to be a part of a narrow microcosm between reality and fantasy.

A subtle perversion that no longer seems suspicious is manifested in her paintings and works on paper. In her recent practice, the face and facial expressions have become a central theme—from celebrities and plastic surgery to toy dolls and the humanization of animals. Her wide research ranges from the metaphysical world to the mundane. In her work, Specht is looking for common ground where the ordinary and the uncanny merge.

Based in Berlin, she studied abroad at Seoul National University in Korea and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera Milano in Italy.

Daria Rastunina (born 1990) is a Russian multidisciplinary artist. She is a member of the Union of Artists of Russia working with generative methods in art, such as artificial intelligence, through a combination of traditional painting techniques and digital methods.

Rastunina often works with topics that she experiences on her own, with topics that raise the question of a person's appearance, their role and their relationship with the world. Her works draw inspiration from modern life experience, as well as the influence of technology on it. In Rastunina's art, a person is placed in a space between two worlds, nature and technology, with which he is inextricably linked, sometimes being the center connecting them, and sometimes a hostage trapped in his own being.

Daria Rastunina has exhibited in Russia, in the cities of Moscow, Vladimir, Ivanovo, Palekh, as well as in China, London, Indonesia.

Anne Spalter is a leading digital artist, creating dystopian landscapes with AI and other technological tools. Her hope is that after seeing her art you will perceive and appreciate contemporary systems of human movement, travel, management, and control in new ways.

Spalter’s surreal art creates a darkly mesmerizing sci-fi experience, mixing media such as digital videos, AI, crypto art, drawing, painting, weaving, and even gigantic inflatables. Spalter's apocalyptic view of the world is informed by her frequent travels, knowledge of sci-fi novels, movies, and the collective unconscious. When people explore her post-apocalyptic installations, they wander through an intense atmosphere filled with high waves, damaged spaceships, and flaming fires. All these are portrayed with glowing colors and pulsing patterns.

Spalter has been actively working in digital art for decades; she established the first digital fine arts courses at Brown University and RISD during the 90s, and wrote THE COMPUTER IN THE VISUAL ARTS textbook which is used internationally. Together with Michael Spalter she oversees Spalter Digital, one of the largest private collections of early computer art.

In 2022, Spalter was part of MASS MoCA's alumni residency; named as one of the 50 most important crypto artists by Rizzoli; participated in the SPRING/BREAK Art Show NYC and the CADAF Art Fair; and released RABBIT TAKEOVER, an NFT project that sold out in five minutes. Her 20-minute NFT video piece THE BELL MACHINE was acquired by the Buffalo AKG Museum in December 2022.

Spalter's works can be found in many private collections and museums such as The Victoria and Albert, The AKG Buffalo Art Museum, The RISD Museum, and The Museum of CryptoArt, the Thoma Collection, and the Progressive Collection. Her NFTs have been sold at auction through Sotheby's and Phillips and featured in the New York Times. She lectures frequently on digital art practice, theory and the market.

Sabato Visconti is a Brazilian new media artist and photographer based in Western Massachusetts whose work centers around glitch and post-photography. They began experimenting with glitch in 2011 by data bending photographic image formats. Since then, Sabato has sought to interrogate imaging practices that have become absorbed by digital processes, hybridized media, online networks, and machine intelligence through works that portray subjects entangled in systems often designed to fail or malfunction.

Mateusz von Motz graduated from Juergen Teller's class for photography in Nuremberg. He then finished his MA in sculpture at the Royal College of Art in London. While in London, he worked as a Studio Assistant at Juergen Teller Studio. 

As a young Polish artist, he has already established himself in the art world with a talent for brutal beauty. His practice often explores memories, space, and deconstruction themes and combines architectural and photographic elements. In his present practice, von Motz works across various mediums, including painting, sculpture, digital technology, and installation. 

His recent works, combining text and images on mirrors, have already become iconic. This concept refers, among other cultural backgrounds and phenomena, to the digital meme culture, which ties in with the popular genres and visual strategies of gaming, comics, and advertising.

The artist mixes direct address communication strategies with the mirror as a pictorial space, creating a multidimensional experience for the viewer. In this space, reality and virtuality blur together, and the subject is thrown back onto intimate, psychological levels of self-observation. Moments of introspection and transformation are presented in a multidimensional manner. The artist incorporates Freudian (self) questioning and mythological narratives, such as that of Narcissus, to provide an ironic and empathetic commentary on an increasingly narcissistic society. This society is mirrored here in its collective numbing of the representations within social media.

Her work has been included in exhibitions at Art Basel Miami (2021), Vellum LA (2022), Art Basel (2022), and the Decentral Art Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2022), among others.

Lars Nagler, aka LASSINGER (*1974) is a German digital artist working in the areas of AI, 3D, and sound. Beginning with photography in 1996, he has always worked with the large complex of "man-world-evolution" through traditional and innovative technical possibilities. His studies at the Bauhaus in Weimar broadened his thinking and piqued his interest in intuitive and free work. His concepts are always derived from a jumble of knowledge, emotion, and real-time. 

Nagler received the SOLO AI '23 AWARD by Coleccion Solo Madrid. He was part of exhibitions and art fairs such as PROTECTION NO LONGER ASSURED at Coleccion Solo Madrid, Art Basel Miami, and NFT Paris.

Nicola Villa (b.1976) lives and works in Genoa. He earned a degree in architecture and has worked in the field of visual arts since the late 90s in painting, printmaking and mixed media. Digital media has been a structural part of Villa's work since the beginning of his artistic career, especially in the development of his physical works. In the last years, Villa capsized his classical practice approach to focus on digital media, trying to follow his existing visual language by combining digitized elements from physical artifacts and digitally native works through different practices and software.

His physical work has been exhibited in private and public galleries in Europe and the United States, while his digital production, which was first shown on Tezos in December 2021, has been collected by institutions like the Tezos Foundation.

David Henry Nobody Jr (aka David Henry Brown, Jr) is a performance artist and sculptor who works in diverse mediums, often placing his physical body into the work. Frequently riffing off of the dark side of American popular culture, he has been showing his work since the early 1990s both in the New York art world and as a renegade underground figure and as a collaborator.

Nobody Jr's various projects have been shown internationally in cities such as Berlin and New York, most notably at Andrew Edlin Gallery and WhiteBox. In 2018, he had a solo exhibition and live performance at MOCA Tuscon. He has been featured on the BBC, in VICE, The Huffington Post and Hi-Fructose among others. Nobody Jr's NFTs have been included in exhibitions at Unit London Gallery and SXSW.  

Instagram: 

During his many different artistic periods, his work often involves the creation of characters that perform and make objects. Nobody Jr’s characters stem from his concept of the Fantastic Nobody, the ‘loser’ that acts like they are famous but who is not, driving the artist’s work deeper inside the images and social masks of an image-obsessed culture.
