  • Find My LOVE - Infinite Computer Theorem

    Inspired by the "Infinite Monkey Theorem," a thought experiment in which a monkey randomly typing on a keyboard could one day write the work of Shakespeare.
    When you click the button on the page, the computer will continue to randomly generate letters until a connection to the word LOVE appears. It may be found immediately, or it may be hard to find. It is the same as finding love in your life.

  • Jan Robert Leegte

    Jan Robert Leegte (born 1973, The Netherlands) is one of the first Dutch artists to work on and for the Internet since the 1990s. In 2002, he shifted his main focus to implementing digital materials in the context of the physical gallery space, aiming to bridge the online art world with the gallery art world, making prints, sculpture, installations, drawings, and projections, connecting to historical movements like land art, minimalism, performance art, and conceptualism. As an artist Leegte explores the position of the new materials put forward by the (networked) computer. Photoshop selection marquees, scrollbars, Google Maps, code, and software are dissected to understand their ontological nature.

    His work has been exhibited internationally (Whitechapel Gallery, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, van Gogh Museum, ZKM Karlsruhe, Centre Pompidou, Museum Ludwig Budapest). He is currently represented by Upstream Gallery Amsterdam.

    Jan Robert Leegte lives and works in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

  • Damjanski

    Damjanski is an artist living in a browser. Concerned with themes of power, poetry and participation, he explores the concept of apps as artworks. The app 'Bye Bye Camera' is the camera for the post-human era. Every picture people take automatically removes any person. The app 'Never Not There' transformed the ZKM museum in Karlsruhe and the Centre Pompidou in Paris into dystopian server rooms and the 'LongARcat' app creates long cats in Augmented Reality.
    In 2018, he co-founded 'MoMAR', an Augmented Reality gallery app aimed at democratizing physical exhibition spaces, art institutions and curatorial processes within New York’s Museum of Modern Art. WIRED covered the launch with the headline "Augmented Reality Is Transforming Museums”. In 2019, he created an online space that only programs can access. This software performance, called 'Humans not invited', first hit Reddit’s front page before it was shown at the König Galerie in Berlin.
    In 2023, he launched 'Still Here', a site-specific and permanent Augmented Reality sculpture of himself floating above the entire island of Manhattan in New York.
    His work has appeared internationally at the ZKM Karlsruhe, Centre Pompidou, NRW-Forum, Postmasters, Roehrs & Boetsch, Pioneer Works, König Galerie, MoCDA, Tropez, Import Projects. Currently Damjanski resides in New York.
