STACK TRACE

1-22 FEBRUARY

KIM ASENDORF & LEANDER HERZOG: STACK TRACE

EXPANDED.ART is pleased to present STACK TRACE, the first duo show by Kim Asendorf & Leander Herzog. The exhibition is comprised of eight works on aluminum and a real-time multi-channel NFT collection, which the German and Swiss artists created as a site-specific installation. Asendorf & Herzog create abstract paintings with code and animated pixels that sort endlessly and thus rethink the medium of painting in the age of Post-NFTism.

STACK TRACE is a dialogue between Asendorf and Herzog about painting and sculpture in generative art. The two series of works, CHROME and BYPASS, themselves are stacks that address seriality and scalability and depict traces of processes. In the exhibition space, algorithms and code running in real time on a sculptural installation consisting of screens are juxtaposed with marks on aluminium that were manually generated based on algorithmically placed point constellations.

Asendorf & Herzog add the parameter of time to generative art. Coordinated world time, or UTC for short, serves as the main anchor for the synchronization of the real-time multi-channel installation CHROME. The 128 channels run synchronously at all times, without beginning or end, adapted to any screen format. CHROME emerges from a continuous linear movement punctuated by a rhythmic and random choreography. Soft gradients and hard edges collide, colors run into each other, and pixels move from left to right. Organic forms flow as pixels rearrange endlessly in a ticker, the archetype of linear motion.

STACK TRACE is both an experiment and a statement: Asendorf & Herzog test how generative art and NFTs can be expanded with the technological possibilities of their time.
