Daemon (chaos) #99

“Daemon (chaos)” is the one-half of an NFT diptych created by Petros Moris together with Theodoros Giannakis, as part of a long-term dialogue on the interfaces between biological, cultural, and machinic forms of desire and cognition. Two digitally-fabricated sculptures were photogrammetrically scanned at a shared physical location in Athens, then separated and re-rendered within a computational environment of non-linear time. Mirroring each other, the sculptural phantoms are divided and connected by an emergent membrane-system of entangled sensoria and chimeric memory. Concealed within the “Daemon” diptych lies a digital file that can be reconstructed after acquiring an edition of both NFTs, each containing one-half of a ZIP archive.
