Featured Artworks

Istinto

Instinto presents a humanoid figure blending into the chaos of its surroundings. The figure, aside from the phallic, leathery serpent that draws the eye to the centre of the image, appears to be made of bone and plaster, suggesting that the power and vitality of the scene is led by the serpent and its desire to immerse itself in the fluid landscape.

Void fills the composition with iridescent colours and mirror-like reflections, illuminated by sharp light and an ambiguous sense of scale, filling the scene with energy and dynamism.

Mi Sombra

Mi Sombra portrays an isolated, hunched figure in the centre of the composition. The bright light appears to expose the figure, emphasising its vulnerability. The title suggests the shadow that dominates the image as a calm facial profile is that of the pink figure, demanding attention from both the central figure and the audience due to its size and unwavering focus.

Identity is questioned as we are met with three potential protagonists; the pink figure, the shadow, and the white figure crouching behind the wall. With the domineering size and angle of the shadow combined with the figure, or reflection, in white, Mi Sombra is full of suspense, emphasised by the sharp drop and exposing lucidity of the light across the scene.

La Verdad

La Verdad addresses themes of birth and rejuvenation through celestial colours and reflections in a tranquil landscape. This scene appears to be interrupted by a rush of pearlescent slime that cascades over a penguin skeleton to draw the eye to the baby in the bath, suggesting its sexual nature and as overt celebration of birth, life, and death.

Life appears as a blue heart in the lower bathtub which, alongside the metallic pipes of the shower and sterility of the surfaces, appears almost engine-like, giving the work a dark undertone. The body appears in stark physicality in this piece, either as a fleshy newborn child or as the bones of an animal, adding an element of tangibility to an otherwise mystical environment.

Capaz las Capas se me Escapan

In Capaz las capas se me escapan, striking use of colour, texture, and layering forces the abstracted figure into focus, which appears to take the form of a bird’s head. The textures of the figure against the background appear kinetic, enhancing the feeling of unease when combined with the decapitated bird’s head and the soulless black-brown pool that takes the form of a soulless eye.

This piece holds strong visual markers that the mind desperately wants to believe is reality, enhanced by intricate details and vivid light and dimension. With this, Void blurs the line between dream and reality, as the nightmarish figure maintains eye contact with its audience.

Prey

“Prey” is a glitchy tapestry representing a condensed dream of faith and hope. Two hands join in prayer, anticipating the course of a life cycle. The empty space is filling up quickly with ancestral questions. Let your imagination complete the picture and take part in this communion.

Criatura Del Fin

Frenetik Void and TheInternetOffice collaborate on a digital artwork inspired by the word "Del Fin" (Dol phin). Their investigation is based on a number of sinusoidal organic 3D shapes that merge into a turbulent reflection of the ocean, a breathing sculpture made of many dolphins mashed together, jumping out of the salty water only for a second before disappearing in the abyss.

Trucha y Trufa

You need courage, self care and dedication to shine. In the portrait “Trucha y Trufa ”, Frenetik Void reveals the true nature of a fantasy mythical creature. The figure looks relaxed, deep and confident. The strange connection produced by the Dada-esque practice of pairing two words together hints to something totally new, an unlikely affair.

MARE and Other Encounters

“MARE and Other Encounters” (2022) is a collection of works inspired by sea animals and encounters made by the artist Frenetik Void. “They appear to me in dreams, while eating, in supermarkets, they are images on the street, sounds in conversations, a held breath while snorkelling, an internet ad; they never stop coming.” The artist has been reflecting about these apparitions and generating a narrative around the period of life he’s going through.

This collection is a journey through Frenetik Void’s style, with reminiscences from his early works to the latest pieces that show his feelings without any filters. Frenetik Void developed a way to break the linear reading of an artist's work through his authorial mark, a camouflage act that demands instant recognition while promoting eclecticism as part of the creative process. Each piece embodies a different style Frenetik Void came to express over the years.

Frenetik Void is one of the earliest and most interesting creatives native to the NFT art world. An Argentinian digital artist from Buenos Aires, his works often show a post-human universe inhabited by hybrid mutant beings where the limits of physics have vanished.

Digital Bodies

Digital Bodies is an online group show curated by Stina Gustafsson, Chloe Diamond, Serena Tabacchi and Marie Chatel featuring works by Cao Fei, Damjanksi, Frenetik Void, Hackatao, Hu Weiyi, Joanne Hastie, Lin Tianmiao, Maurice Benayoun, Miao Xiaochun, Skygolpe, The Fabricant, Travis LeRoy Southworth, and Twistedsister.

“Within the digital realm, the body becomes something we can no longer touch or feel. Often, it stands detached from our actions, forcing us into new ways of associating, observing, and thinking about the body and its relationship to space.

The human body has dominated artistic visions for centuries. With the emergence of new digital instruments comes new ways of exploring what role the body plays in both physical and virtual environments. Fluid boundaries where we alternate between our real and virtual lives imply that our understanding of the body is detached and outdated.


In this exhibition, MoCDA presents artworks that challenge existing notions of the body by exploring the ways in which they are represented across media and how the representation has evolved within a digital sphere. In the first collaboration between the Museum of Contemporary Digital Art and the DSL Collection, presented for CADAF Online 2020, MoCDA seeks to examine the bodily structures that are increasingly challenged and questioned as our daily life is transported, shaped, and augmented by digital technologies.”
