In this lecture, artist Alan Butler discusses The Production of Space, a site-specific exhibition project he created for the Aksioma gallery. Building on a practice that examines the ontology of digital spatial design and video game assets, Butler explores how these digital building blocks produce reality—both online and off. He reveals how the technical creation of images and their origins can shape culture and digital space, and how digital objects can affect the physical world. Butler also shares the theoretical perspectives informing his creative process, illuminating how a series of works emerged around the physical performativity of digital objects. By tracing the journey of these digital constructs from screen to real-world presence, he examines the interplay between virtual and real environments, and what that means for culture and image-making. | |||

Greetings fellow humanoids!
On April past, we finally reached the two year milestone making these newsletters! What a voyage it's been. To everyone who’s been with us since the beginning, and to all the passengers who’ve joined us along the way — thank you for sharing the journey with us.
If you support our mission and find value in what we do, feel free to spread the word.
The 1st Tuesday of May is coming up soon so there will be another monthly meetup happening over on Discord here.

Alan Butler: Material Outcomes in the Digital Subject
Alan Butler
In this lecture, artist Alan Butler discusses The Production of Space, a site-specific exhibition project he created for the Aksioma gallery. Building on a practice that examines the ontology of digital spatial design and video game assets, Butler explores how these digital building blocks produce reality—both online and off. He reveals how the technical creation of images and their origins can shape culture and digital space, and how digital objects can affect the physical world. Butler also shares the theoretical perspectives informing his creative process, illuminating how a series of works emerged around the physical performativity of digital objects. By tracing the journey of these digital constructs from screen to real-world presence, he examines the interplay between virtual and real environments, and what that means for culture and image-making.
