"This is our private channel, can you hear me?"

With the amount of tragedy and loss that my friends and folks have experienced over the past year, I feel very lucky to be able to explore these feelings through my art and I'm kicking off this *trilogy* of "Life After Loss" this month in San Francisco with The Svane Family Foundation.

In 2012, I wrote an electronic dance album for Mark Del Lima's birthday called 𝙏𝙀𝙒𝙀𝙧𝙧𝙀𝙬 and the narrative chronicled the human journey to the moon after the Earth is ravaged by a deadly virus. Not only was this an exploration of my obsession with retrofuturism, it was a way for me to deal with my anxieties around sustainability, death and the future.

In 2020, The Svane Family Foundation commissioned 100 artists to reinterpret the narrative of "The Ark", a vessel that survives a disrupting event. I was one of those artists and I took 𝙏𝙀𝙒𝙀𝙧𝙧𝙀𝙬 and transformed it into a visual piece, a sci-fi "visual album" (think π˜•π˜’π˜²π˜°π˜Ίπ˜²π˜’π˜’π˜΅π˜΄π˜ͺ meets π˜—π˜ͺ𝘯𝘬 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘺π˜₯: π˜›π˜©π˜¦ 𝘞𝘒𝘭𝘭, or π˜‹π˜’π˜§π˜΅ π˜—π˜Άπ˜―π˜¬: 𝘐𝘯𝘡𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘡𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘒 5555 πŸ˜‰) that I designed to play on three square screens.

Now, in 2021, The Svane Family Foundation is proud to present ARK, a collection of 100 new works curated for auction and exhibition from September 16-30 at the San Francisco Art Institute, Fort Mason where you can catch a screening of π—”π—§π—§π—”π—–π—ž, π——π—˜π—–π—”π—¬, π—₯π—˜π—Ÿπ—˜π—”π—¦π—˜.
