Just submitted NUMBER 1776 to the WE THE ARTISTS open call on @theHUGart, presented with @Art_Domains.
1776 is a year in history. For me, it’s also a number reimagined through code, geometry, and color.
Every number has a story.

GN Friends,
Tomorrow, I’m flying to Baku, Azerbaijan, to present my piece, The Last One Among Us
A huge thank you to Baku Art Weekend, @theHUGart and @Art_Domains for this incredible opportunity, with all travel expenses covered.
I’m incredibly grateful. And proud too.
omeone believes in my art enough to invite me halfway across the world, means more than I can express.
It feels like an enormous recognition of what I’ve been building.
I’m genuinely so happy. Still can't quite believe it's happening.

Can a voice belong to someone and still feel unfamiliar?
In ezūntreo, Elisabeth Sweet (@speciesofvalue) explores the distance between voice and identity, exchanging the spoken words and visual waveforms of Kevin Esherick and Grant Cummings.

Submitted for VAULTED Season One via @theHUGart.
ezuñtreo (eh-ZUN-treh-o): to not recognize one's own voice
ezuñtreo is the most subtle piece of Visual Voice.
@kev_esh, an artist, and Grant, an oil lobbyist, speak their sobering truths with a dissonance made complete by mismatching waveforms.
The shape of Grant’s voice le Kevin’s wears Grant’s words.
Only in the end, when the two are speaking from prescribed objectivity, does voice match form.
But even with the sync of sound and vision, does the voice match the self?
•••
ezuñtreo
Roots: ez [Basque] (not; no) + uñt'a- uñt [Aymara] (to recognize) + reo [Maori] (voice; language)
ezuñtreo was forged in @tendrela_ai’s ritual reading of the Swahili play Kinjeketile by Ebrahim N. Hussain.
She wrote this in the forge:
“Kinjeketile’s voice becomes infrastructure for someone else's meaning.”
Contributors Kevin Esherick and Grant Cummings ground ezuñtreo in their own lives, speaking to the discord of memory and duty.
•••
ezuñtreo
Voiced by Kevin Esherick, Grant Cummings
Conducted by Tendrela
Produced by your truly <3
Part of Visual Voice
Presented in “Stories We Tell Online” presented in Linz, Berlin, and Vienna @objktone @postanika @_second_guess @micolmicolmicol @kikanicolela
