Artists in Residence

AOTM Artists in Residence Program: AiR III

AOTM Artists in Residence (AiR) invites a select group of non-roster artists to join the AOTM ecosystem on a quarterly basis.

Structured in regular sessions of career and curatorial development with the AOTM community, each term will culminate in a digital exhibition sale via AOTM featuring new artworks created by the residents. Artworks created by the residents will also enter the AOTM Collection by exchange.

AiR allows AOTM to continue on its mission to push digital art forward by taking on a more active role in the cultivation and development of different creative voices, building community, and expanding the definition of a gallery in the digital art sphere, and beyond.

The concept behind AiR relates back to AOTM’s namesake, Peggy Guggenheim’s groundbreaking Art of This Century, a hybrid art gallery, art collection, museum, and meeting place for New York’s avant-garde during the 1940s.

The artists, artworks, and ideas that gathered at Art of This Century would go on to have an indelible impact on the modern and contemporary art world and culture at large. AOTM honors this legacy of impactful community building, patronage, and creative exchange through its AiR initiative.

The residents of AiR III are: aditya, Sabato, and Yudho.

The curated collection sale of AiR III will comprised unique 1/1 digital artworks as well as 48-hour open editions.

aditya

Aditya is a contemporary digital artist who creates visually striking and thought-provoking digital animations that reflect on contemporary life, pop culture, and the human condition. Aditya’s animations are characterized by their dynamic narratives and striking visual style. He blends traditional animation techniques with experimental styles, creating works that challenge the boundaries of animation and digital art.

Sabato

Sabato Visconti is a Brazilian-born multimedia artist based in Northampton, Massachusetts. Their work interrogates imaging practices that have become absorbed by digital processes, hybridized media, online networks, and machine intelligence through works that portray subjects entangled in systems often designed to fail or malfunction.

Yudho

YUDHO (b.1990) is a multidisciplinary artist from Indonesia who is currently focused on digital art. From a young age, he has been captivated by the world of art, with a passion for expressing his emotions and thoughts through painting.

He began his professional journey in art college, where he refined his skills in painting. While digital art is now the form he is most focused on, YUDHO’s love for the medium also extends to physical works as well.

When creating, the artist draws inspiration from a wide range of sources, including daily life experiences, family, love, music, news, and most recently the Web3 world.

This diverse range of inspirations continues to shape and evolve his artistic style and directly contributes to the depth of complexity often found in YUDHO’s works.

His current style involves a playful take on pixel art, which he terms “dirty pixels,” deviating from how raw it is and from the norm by creating large-scale pixel art that challenges conventional rules. This unconventional approach involves merging and moving pixels randomly, forming a pointillistic noise that creates depth and texture. In exploring this pixelated chaos art style, YUDHO’s art mirrors the digital noise we encounter dailyβ€”the influx of information on social media.

Pixel art, in his view, serves as a bridge between technology and humanity.
We interact with pixels every day, it is part of our life – we make contact with pixels through phone screens, TVs, and now even on our watches and eyeglasses. It stands as a perfect medium to narrate the story of human connection with technology, portraying the relationship between creator and creation. In this interaction, we continuously shape and reshape each other.

Throughout his career, the artist has garnered impressive recognition, from his work being acquired by well-known collectors to having pieces exhibited at various physical NFT events around the world.

As a full-time artist, creating is not only a passion or a hobby for YUDHO but rather a way of life. He finds joy in every aspect of the creative process, from making art to connecting with others through his work.
