“A new kind of generative healing” May cringe lead the way inward 👏🪷

So many gems in @theVERSEverse exhibition "The Xenotext: Language is a virus", held in honour of @christianbok & organized by @speciesofvalue. In love with these pieces I collected by @bassil_taleb Gregory Betts, @sarah_ridgley Nick Thurston, @AdamwDickinson

‘Be All My Sins Remembered’ by @sarah_ridgley mediates on the sin of female erasure throughout myth & lit. Eurydice is generalized as a nymph; Ophelia’s most famous words are spoken for her by Hamlet. This work pauses the flow. Available as an open edition, CLOSING SOON 🪷🖤🦠

The Xenotext: “language is a virus” means a lot to me. @christianbok’s astounding work + this celebratory exhibition converted existential dread into wonder and provided proof that the hardest work is never done alone. I’m happy, owning these tokens from this moment 🦠🔭♾️🔬🤍

BE ALL MY SINS REMEMBERED by @sarah_ridgley [Sarah Ridgley has preserved a still image taken from her animated painting, entitled NYMPH, IN THY ORISONS, releasing this work in an edition left open for the next six days—27 XTZ]: ————— objkt.com/tokens/KT1N9Cm…

Excerpt from my interview with @speciesofvalue (via @theverseverse):

Collected!🦠✨ 𝘗𝘙𝘖𝘛𝘌𝘐𝘕 𝟣𝟥 — a molecular sculpture encoding the poem Eurydice by @christianbok. This protein is expressed by a DNA sequence in an immortal extremophile bacterium that encodes Orpheus —the poetic call, to which Eurydice is the folded response. You follow?

I recently wrote about curatorial studios in the digital art ecosystem for Forbes - highlighting how their power lies in their ability to self-determine. In many ways, @theverseverse is a curatorial studio, advancing a dynamic vision of how poetry can exist in the digital age.…

Thrilled to be part of the upcoming exhibition "Language is a Virus", organized by @theVERSEverse, featuring works from The Xenotext (Book 2) limited edition. My contribution is a generative interpretation of "The Dark, Pale Meadow" by @christianbok —now expanded with 16 new…

🦠 OPEN @objktcom 🔭 The Xenotext: “language is a virus” celebrates the invisible legacy of empathy encoded into a lovepoem poised to outlive the Sun. From microscopic to cosmic, the show explores infinity, discovery, scale, the body, and the unknowable. About the artists ⬇️

this conversation was fun, and by fun i mean that it made me reevaluate my notions of existence, poetry, myth, science, and connection. give it a read!

🚨 NEW POET ALERT @objktcom 🚨 @AdamwDickinson’s most recent book is a lyrical, multifaceted dialogue co-written with the Danish architect Søren Pihlmann, and featured as part of the 2025 Venice Biennale of Architecture. Adam debuts on blockchain with us on Wednesday 🦠🔭💙✨

The upcoming show @theVERSEverse celebrates the path & people that led to @christianbok's immortal work I don't often see curation based on empathy, compassion, and friendship. This may feel too soft for some, but a gentler approach might benefit us And the art is really good.
