Verse is delighted to present SPACE\TIME: an exhibition showcasing loackme's latest code-based motion series. Over the course of the last 10-15 years, loackme has employed various techniques within the realm of motion-based dithering, 2D signed distance functions, Voronoï diagrams, and programming, all of which have contributed to the creation of this collection, which is a culmination of his practice.

loackme is known for working impulsively in quick bursts, but for this series, which commenced earlier this year on May 10th, his approach differed. SPACE\TIME has been an ongoing exploration lasting three months, and is subsequently the longest lasting series to date within loackme’s artistic practice.

SPACE\TIME showcases a pixelated aesthetic, and a distinct black and white palette, which exemplifies loackme's overall body of work and illustrates his enduring passion for geometry, monochromism, and animated loops. However, due to the use of dithering, the illusion of a greater depth of colour is created, and various shades of grey seem to appear before us when viewing the works in this series, forming an entrancing visual experience.

The series departs from traditional long-form generative collections while refraining from complete curation (referring to algorithms designed to generate numerous outputs and subsequently sorted through to select preferred variants). It is positioned between these two paradigms.

The inspiration for SPACE\TIME initially stemmed from François Vogel's work, which prompted loackme to question: “What if I make something like this, but with dithering?”

“What if?” is the question at the core of loackme's creative process, setting the stage for most of his artistic endeavors.
