JENNIFER & KEVIN MCCOY | GALLERY

EXPANDED.ART presents the solo exhibition MACHINE ORGANIC by Jennifer & Kevin McCoy at the gallery on the occasion of Berlin Art Week.

More and more of the organic world finds its twin in the world of digital machines. The complexity of organic processes appears to be adequately described by a profusion of data and algorithms. Growth, thought, and life are fully simulated.

In these works, the McCoys take data from cameras and sensors and process it with computer vision and signal processing algorithms, using mechanical drawing and painting machines to make hands-free, eyes-free pictures. A machine organic.

Jennifer & Kevin McCoy are New York-based digital media artists whose works extend from film and video to installation and generative software that uses blockchain technology to create long-term ecosystems for images to live, die, and evolve.

The McCoys’ work has been featured in exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou, MoMA, the British Film Institute, and the Sundance Film Festival and is held in the collections of MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.

In 2014, Kevin McCoy minted the world’s first digital art NFT.
