Pictured is Ricardo Cabret’s Alternate perspectives, same reality, 2026 and Carrier of Entropy, 2026 Within Cabret’s practice, a tension between the systems used to organize space and the disorder those systems inevitably fail to contain is often personified by the presence of a grid. Join us for an artist talk in our current exhibition time is a flat circle. Participating artists Erick Antonio Benitez, Ricardo Cabret, and Umber Majeed will be in conversation with co-curators Valerie Oakley (bitforms gallery) and @_vera_petukhova_ , founder of @rip__space , a Los Angeles-based curatorial platform dedicated to future-oriented creative practice and emergent art forms. RSVP through the link time is a flat circle is open through August 1. luma.com/va32hbjs

Currently on display at the @museumartlight Wheel Mirror pictured above by @daniel_rozin in a major retrospective of his work. 2026, Mounted bicycle wheel, round screen, camera, computer, custom software. This work is included in “Interference: The Interactive Art of Daniel Rozin” running through September 27, 2026. For over three decades, Daniel Rozin has created interactive artworks that place the viewer at the center of image-making. Working with technology, custom software, physical materials, and kinetic motion, Rozin uses his practice to investigate how images are formed, perceived, and transformed through participation. In Interference, Rozin turns his focus explicitly to interference patterns—moiré effects—the shimmering, unstable visual phenomena that emerge when two patterned systems are overlaid and set into motion. These effects were extensively explored by Op Art artists in the 1960s, and most notably by Jesús Rafael Soto, who over several decades created hundreds of works investigating visual interference, vibration, and optical instability.

Opening today @ArtBasel Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Zero 10 - Booth Z05 Black Hole is a brand new work premiering at Art Basel. At the center of the spiral is a panoptic surveillance camera, a “black hole” that tracks and capture the gaze of the viewers, registering their presence as a biometric input that activates and transforms the work. The piece draws attention to the seductions of visibility—recognition, inclusion, and self-imaging —while simultaneously exposing the camera as a device of predatory vision. In this way, the installation reflects on contemporary cultures of metrics and surveillance, where seeing oneself is inseparable from being measured.

Join us tonight for the opening of ‘time is a flat circle’ , the New York debut of Rip Space in collaboration with @bitforms co-curated by Vera Petukhova and Valerie Oakley. Bringing together works by Erick Antonio Benitez, Ricardo Cabret, Lou Fauroux, and Umber Majeed, the exhibition explores how contemporary mythology is constructed, circulated, and transformed through digital images, networked systems, infrastructure, memory, and cultural exchange. Opening reception: Thur, 6/18 6:00 - 8:00 PM 📍bitforms gallery, NYC New York friends, artists, curators, and community members - we would love to see you there! RSVP: luma.com/nu7tc8jc?tk=Hy…

ART BASEL 2026 // ZERO 10 💎 What once lived on the margins of the art world is now firmly part of the main conversation. This year, Art Basel Basel welcomed Zero 10 for the first time - a dedicated platform for artists working across technology, media, code, light, AI, and digital culture. What was once considered “new media” is now becoming an integral part of the contemporary art landscape. It was great to see our friends at @bitforms presenting Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. One of the works shown by the gallery was acquired by the CityX Foundation even before the fair officially opened. Together with Rafael and the gallery, we are now preparing an exciting institutional initiative with one of the world's leading museums. More on that very soon. Among the highlights of Zero 10 this year were presentations by Hito Steyerl, Ryoji Ikeda, Avery Singer, Agnieszka Kurant, Jan Robert Leegte, Vera Molnár, Harold Cohen, William Mapan, and Rafael Lozano-Hemmer - artists who continue to expand the vocabulary of digital and technologically driven art. Digital art no longer feels like the future. It feels like very present! __ #ArtBasel #ArtBasel2026 #Zero10 #DigitalArt #ContemporaryArt #NewMediaArt #CityXFoundation #ArtWorld #Basel

tune in to our IG Live (instagram.com/bitforms/live/… ) to see @sarahrothberg share a special interactive version of FOREVER MEETINGS for Basel Social Club’s OFFICE theme. Two AI-driven avatars are stuck in an endless meeting, and your questions about OFFICE LIFE will be fed into the work in real time. You might wonder: 🕒How early can you leave before a holiday wknd? 🚽How many times per day is it okay to get up to pee? ❌Do we really have to circle back? Join the livestream to ask at the meeting. FOREVER MEETINGS is currently on view IRL with bitforms at Basel Social Club Floor -1.C.

@sarahrothberg is now LIVE on bitforms Instagram! Watch her streaming until 11:25 AM EST. This Instagram Live is in conjunction with her show now on view at Basel Social Club. Basel Social Club Viaduktstrasse 33, 4051 Basel, Switzerland Room -1.C.7 Free and open to the public Sunday, June 14: 4 PM – 11:30 PM Monday–Saturday, June 15–20: 2 PM – 11:30 PM FOREVER MEETINGS continues Rothberg’s research on the dynamics of conversation and large AI language models, culminating in a new body of generative artwork from which the exhibition gets its name. These animated works are not videos, but forever changing compositions and dialogues.

"Pulse Agglomerate" a biometric memorial performance for Donetsk, was performed by the great Ukrainian artist Maria Kulikovska yesterday in Basel, Switzerland, with support from the @izolyatsia Foundation—the art centre where Rafael Lozano-Hemmer originally recorded 100 heartbeats, just before it was converted into a torture camp in 2014. We are proud to announce that today the piece was acquired by @cityxfoundation so that it can be donated to a permanent Museum Collection—ideally in Europe to send a message of solidarity with Ukraine—ensuring its long-term preservation and public access. Through this acquisition, the CityX Foundation ensures the project may continue to serve as both a historical record and a living memorial—carrying forward the pulses of those who gathered in Donetsk shortly before the war transformed the region.

Installation view at Basel Social Club Basel Social Club returns for its fifth edition from 6/14-20, 2026, transforming a vacant multi-story office building in central Basel into a temporary social stage for art during Art Basel week. @sarahrothberg will be presenting new prints and generative work based on her FOREVER MEETINGS series.

Max Estrella & @bitforms | Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Max Estrella and bitforms gallery showcase a solo exhibition by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer—Panoptic Chiasma—consisting of digital installations that examine how contemporary perception has become inseparable from computation. The Mexican-Canadian artist is known for championing audience participation in digital art using tools like robotic lights, digital fountains, computerised surveillance, media walls, and telematic networks.
