The button has been in a continuous state of shapeshifting over the expanding history of collective interface design. Endless webpages filled with designs, haptics, styles, expressions, subcultures, interactions, effects, all layered over this simple and elemental entity leaving in its wake a fundamental material presence within interface culture.
The internet is an unimaginably vast ecology of data and processes. Deeply stored data is immutable like buried granite, where other is constantly in flux like a rushing mountain stream. The whole system is in continuous evolution through endless processes reshaping the data interacting with each other and with ourselves. At the opaque surface of this churning ocean of bits is the exchange between both the realm of the computer and that of ourselves. The interface. And in the centre of this human machine culture lives the button. A binary entity reaching out from the very core of the machine's logic to touch, at the surface, our reaching finger, after which it dives back down in order to toggle some state from a zero to a one.

I’ve learned over the years to look at computers in a very specific way. I believe that beyond being our companion tool for an easier everyday life, through art they can escape the utilitarian aspect that was attributed to them primarily. I type my code. I look at the screen. Something manifests. It’s light.
Not just some magical abstract movement of energy happening in the realms of a silicon world. There’s something in front of my eyes that leaves the surface of a rectangular device to inhabit the room in which I’m present.
The idea behind this collection is to manifest those experiences using code to shift and transport pixels in realtime. To use the computer as the light generator that it is. It’s something that I’ve been working now for several months and it feels like a genuine expression (or at least the attempt) of what I describe above.
The one thing we cannot buy on Black Friday is Black Friday itself...
But what if we could?
"Black Friday Sale" allows anyone to own Black Friday, or at least its image. It can be yours forever, secured on the blockchain as surely as if you had right-click-saved it.
Endless Nameless is an exploration of composition. We start with a square. The square is divided into sections. The sections are filled with color pairs. Sometimes all colors are used. Sometimes fewer colors are used.
monogrid is a collection of 256 real-time animations created by Kim Asendorf. 2021/10
PXL DEX is a series of fully on-chain real time animations, where each pixel is a token in itself. PXL DEX is the first artwork within the PXL ecosystem, an ongoing work series to experiment with pixels as utility tokens.

Cargo is a series of abstract paintings created with animated pixels that are constantly moving without ever repeating. It is painting new patterns on the fly in between macro and micro compositions with a duality of different rhythms and continuous synchronicity. The focus is alternately drawn to detail, then distracted by movement elsewhere and caught up in the overall picture. This rhythm turns the visual complexity into an active experience.
ASDF: “My work should offer individual ways of interpretation, or even allow one to find some self in it. It wants to inspire some thoughts about dynamics and systemics and also just mesmerize the audience, capture them in a little fantasy, or just for a brief moment in a state of satisfaction.”
Cargo is the latest work in Kim Asendorf’s ongoing work series of pixel pattern animations. Starting with monogrid in 2021, and Sabotage in 2022, both highly conceptual series, therefore visually very raw and unimaginable. Asendorf discovered various interesting details in these works, which eventually became fundamental in his artistic expression.
Cargo is a real time WebGL software written in JavaScript and GLSL. At its core is a flip-flop render buffer, also known as feedback buffer. That means the animation is alternately rendered in two different frame buffers. This technique allows the usage of the previous frame of the animation as an asset in the current rendering, which allows for a series of reactive animation strategies.
An initial image with variable structures and patterns is rendered and subsequently loaded into the frame buffer. A fragment shader is used to apply a set of animation algorithms that make the pixel move and a set of reset algorithms that constantly try to recreate the initial image. The final animation happens in selected containers and is always a combination of two algorithms, one from each set. By regularly animating and partially resetting the pixels, a wide range of movement patterns appear.
Cargo is a responsive and pixel exact artwork and it will fill the screen on any display size, thus changing the total amount of used pixels accordingly. This results in the fact that the detail level in the artwork is changing depending on the dimensions. The overall structure is consistently stretching the x and y axis independently. Single containers scale along the dimensions and offer more pixels to render the patterns at a larger representation compared to a smaller representation. This behavior leads to a brilliance, perfect pixels, a crisp rendering with nothing like compression artifacts.
This software includes the simplex noise JavaScript implementation by Jonas Wagner and the cellular noise GLSL code by Stefan Gustavson.

“Squares” utilizes the shape of a square as a unit of construction, combining and overlapping them at various scales to create interplays of color, structure, and atmosphere. The overall effect is something along the lines of Bauhaus meets Blade Runner, as complex rectilinear forms float untethered through fields of light and texture.

Notes is a generative collection that dives into the vivid online universe of perfume descriptions. Pulling from lists of fragrance “notes,” product description text, and personal perfume reviews from fragrantica, Notes remixes found language into a unique visual output– a collaged, imaginary fragrance. Given the inability to sample scents through our phones or computers, perfumes rely on detailed descriptions to best communicate what a product smells like and persuade potential customers online. Notes requests its audience to use their scent imagination. With a visual sensibility inspired by magazine perfume ads, glossy bottles, and colorful language, this collection combines bright, evocative visuals and text to deliver you a computer conjured scent of your dreams.

Considering the relationship between fragrance and France, it is delightful to release Notes and its 100 perfume editions in Paris <3
In Selection, the focus of the work is focus itself.
The project is a fully on-chain generated collection of selection areas, the familiar marching ants conceived by Bill Atkinson which have become such a ubiquitous part of interface culture.
Selection is released in partnership with Folia.
over-time is an exploration of the materiality found in default web user interface standards. Web developers are often the first to point out that the web changes over time. Not only do standards vary from one browser to another, but they also evolve over the years and it’s wise to design the web to fail gracefully. In this generative piece, an algorithmic curve rotates in motion, allowing internet standards to serve as the brush and the browser as the canvas.

SOUVENIRHRZ by LoVid is a retro-futuristic collection. It’s a mix of nostalgia with rainbow colored dystopia. The sixteen stills from SOUVENIRHRZ capture moments in the artists’ work flow in the analog video studio.
Each piece in the SOUVENIRHRZ collection is one frame from a video recording, deinterlaced to reveal a moment that would otherwise not be experienced by viewers. LoVid uses this deinterlacing process frequently.
SOUVENIRHRZ is a collection of images taken from video recordings that were made in New York in 2010 at the Institute for Electronic Arts (IEA) at Alfred University using the analogue equipment that is their specialty.
SOUVENIRHRZ is part of LoVid’s solo exhibition TANGIBLE TIMELINES, on view at EXPANDED.ART in Berlin from 29 JUNE to 19 JULY 2023.

Ad Space is a collection of 111 found compositions using a chrome extension Mika built, which removes all the content of a website leaving only the ads.
As part of her ongoing exploration of the systems behind personalized ads, Mika uses her chrome extension to unlock a browser experience that is 100% personalized for the user.
Each composition reveals the infrastructure we rarely see.
Behind every personalized ad placement, AI systems and targeting algorithms process our browsing patterns, search history and online behaviors to build profiles and predict our interests.
By removing everything else, the work reveals what sustains the "free and open" internet.
Our private lives are converted into data, bought and sold for access to our attention.
