The second is how important it is to be able to talk about your own work, to share your process, your line of research, your poetic approach, and the questions that run through it. I also came to appreciate the value of documentation and relationships, which are not secondary or accessory aspects but part of the very life of an artistic practice. They help create the conditions for the work to be seen, understood, and discussed. ▼ p.i.x.e.l.l.a.r.e, B.o.r.i.s.E.l.d.a.g.s.e.n.P.x., 2026. @BorisEldagsen x @_pixellare

two auctions of p.i.x.e.l.l.a.n.d.ia. have been started... grazie @RJ16848519 🤍🖤

Ahead of the release of "Moment of Significance" at 6PM CET, I wanted to talk a little about how the work was made. What you see in these video works is very different to my original experience... 🧵

"We often think of memory as playback, but it is much more unstable and constructive. It takes real traces and rebuilds them from the position of the present. Photogrammetry and rendering allowed me to work with that tension directly. The scanned sculptures are tied to real surfaces and a real day, but the finished scene is reconstructed, altered, and unreliable." – @alexmayarts

1/ Marine Bléhaut’s "Thank You for Sharing Your Pain" explores the entanglement of AI, care, and extraction through the experience of grief. Set in a near-future home, a grieving mother and her AI caregiver reveal the blurred boundaries between empathy, surveillance, and data.

In conversation with @_pixellare on collaboration, abstraction as a way of seeing, and why pixels can reveal what direct representation cannot. Read more ↓

I have fomo about not collecting enough art of this time from my peers. Because this period is important and there is so much underrated and unhyped but momentary work. But also there's so much financial pressure. It sucks.

grazie @Zephyra_Adler for having collected B.o.r.i.s.E.l.d.a.g.s.e.n.P.x. it's a beautiful joy, and grazie to @BorisEldagsen for choosing to collaborate with me on this artistic project❣️*

"I was inspired by my own helplessness in the face of this universal acceleration. I realized that even when the external noise quiets down, the internal 'itch' doesn’t disappear. My brain continues to crave the constant stimulation and speed instilled in us by social media and the culture of hyper-efficiency. To quiet this itch, I meditate every single day. This daily practice—this ongoing battle to remain present in the here and now—forms the foundation of the project. The visual language of 'Silence'—a restricted vocabulary of forms, repetition, rhythm, and active negative space—is not an intellectual abstraction. It is a digital projection of my meditative practice. I strip away all visual noise from the frame to help both my own vision and the viewer’s gaze slow down and simply exist in a moment that is slipping away far too quickly." – @Olga_f2727

This is an exciting week! A brilliant collaboration with @_pixellare for p.i.x.e.l.l.a.n.d.i.a. @objktlabs dropped yesterday. (H.e.a.t.h.e.r.N.S.t.o.u.t.P.x.) My first major museum exhibition opens on Thursday presented by the Cleveland Museum of Art - Lake Effect: Artists from Cleveland Now. (The Little Yellow House) My first solo publication will be released with DOCU Magazine - a deeply personal project. (Remanence)

🔜 "Silence" by @Olga_f2727 It is a personal search for balance in an accelerating world. In an era of constant informational noise, Olga Fradina uses a limited vocabulary of forms and empty space to transform chaos into visual clarity and slow perception. 9 July | 6 PM CET

🔜 "Moment of Significance" by @alexmayarts It captures the instant when something begins to feel important before its meaning can be understood: the disquiet and wonder of being present within an experience that is already becoming memory. 9 July | 6 PM CET
