Announcing: Human Unreadable
The next lot of our Privacy Collection, Lot 03, is here. 9 months in the making, Human Unreadable is a three-act experiential artwork using our on-chain generative choreography method to hide the human body in plain sight.
The work will be released on Art Blocks on May 24th, 1pm EST.
CURATED RELEASE
THE HUMAN BODY HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT ON-CHAIN
Human Unreadable immerses audiences and collectors in a three-act, embodied, generative art experience. Each artwork is driven by the motion data of its underlying unique, on-chain choreographic sequence.The acts weave together code, choreography, blockchain, generative art, cryptography, and performance into an evolving conceptual experience - the slow recovery of the human. The work brings flesh and viscerality into code and vulnerability [as a feature] into long-form on-chain generative art. The work begins on Art Blocks, and ends in a live performance.
The 6 distinct looks are compositions integrating the core elements of Operator’s Privacy Collection: the human body, glass/transparent materials, light, and x-ray. Human Unreadable intentionally punctures the safety of modernist design and the idea of a universal voice, pushing the limits of human expression within rigid technical systems. With a focus on the body, the collection brings risk, confusion, and vulnerability to the reveal, everything that function-focused design systems normally prevent. Each piece is an invitation, a transparent layer through which the messy human experience can come into focus through the three phases of the work. This work is a continuation of the rejection of modernism, clean lines, and the quietly gendered values therein, in favor of a more embodied and sensual approach to human-machine collaboration pioneered by early women in digital art.
