Jack Hanley Gallery is excited to present Uncertain Future, Beeple’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Beeple, also known as Mike Winkelmann, is a digital artist working in various media, including short films and Creative Commons VJ loops. He is best known for introducing NFTs to the mainstream through his Everydays, an extensive series of drawings and renderings, created and posted online each day for over fourteen years. In this exhibition, Beeple’s works will expand from the digital realm into the physical space and will feature prints of digital renderings, drawings and paintings.
The artist states:
This show hopes to spur a dialogue about the outsized role of big tech companies in our lives and how that *might* play out in the future. As we continue to be complicit through the use of these services, these companies and their founders have an increasing impact on many aspects of how our society will look in the future. The science-fiction themes found in these works are presented in a tongue-in-cheek way but also meant to shine a light on real trends that are occurring today. As technological advances in disparate sectors of the economy combine this will have a multiplying effect and the seemingly bizarre, unintended consequences of technology will become an ever-increasing factor in modern life.
TLDR; things are gonna get weird. - Beeple
