GoodBye

GoodBye, seamless video loop, 4k, colour/audio, 00’42”, 2021

Based on a photogrammetric digital model of three dead tree trunks left on 'The Plot': a former family forest that was cleared in 2019, after a devastating spruce bark beetle infection.

The neon spells 'good' and 'bye' in Ips typography, a usable typeface drawn upon spruce bark beetle tunnel patterns. The digitized fragment of The Plot is here imagined as an island, surrounded by flooded land. Loop based on a photogrammetric model of three tree stumps left at The Plot (September 2020, 51° 24‘ 49.8” N - 5° 39‘ 19.9” E).

The Ips typography font was conceived and commissioned by Crouwers, and designed by JoeBob Graphics (2020).

Alternative codecs and longer loops are available upon request.

This NFT is part of 'Blazing Futures’, an inaugural collection featuring work from ten Tezos-based artists that launched on December 15, the day Rarible x Tezos integration went live.
