*nullMachines* is a new series by Kerim Safa & loackme, featuring constantly hard-working imaginary machines intentionally designed to perform no function. These works offer a tongue-in-cheek critique of our modern society's relentless focus on capitalism, numerical growth, and consumption.
For this collaboration, the artists have challenged the boundaries of handmade digital art with real-time generative algorithms. Translating Safa's previously unachievable 'machines' into algorithmically created artworks, loackme employs the (pseudo)randomness stemming from a blockchain hash to generate unique pieces for this series.
“Because sometimes the answer is: nothing.”
