Sun Signals  #575

Sun Signals is a series of 1010 works informed by the analysis of sun cycles and solar radiation on Earth. Utilising his scientific background as the basis of his artistic investigation, Irish artist Kevin Abosch examined solar datapoints, deploying deep-learning algorithms and abstracting this data into elements like colour, line, size and shape. The resulting sunscapes distill emotional value from scientific data into impactful and technologically complex works.


Each of the Sun Signals is generated with renewable energy using the artist's solar-powered computer servers. As both a celebration of the diverse experience of the sun throughout our globe and also a commentary on the varied effects of climate change, Sun Signals captures the hope, curiosity and awe generated by the star responsible for life on our planet.

A Reliable Love

Working ritualistically with deep-learning algorithms, Abosch has distilled emotional value from more than 100,000 public social media posts that include the word “love.” The resultant “truths” are subsequently encrypted into three layers of hexadecimal alphanumerics superimposed upon each other.
 Through the reliability of an unwavering red field, the artist conveys the absolutism of love, while three distinct compositions of faint alphanumerics perform a triangulated loop, undermining any suggestion that love can be fully understood.

Not Only RGB

Not Only RGB is a group show curated by Chiara Braidotti and Sia Pineschi. Supported by Decentraland DAO, Not Only RGB features works created by Kevin Abosch, Matt Kane, 38‰ (Mattia Cuttini and Luca Donno), Sarah Meyohas and Mathieu Merlet-Briand.


“Colours are a fundamental facet of how we perceive the outside world. Governed by the invisible laws of colour theory, they influence our emotional relationships to nature, from celestial bodies to distant horizons. But what happens when we try to translate these naturally occurring palettes to a man-made digital environment? Is it still possible to engineer the same complexity of feeling? Can they be used as tools to probe more deeply into the laws of nature?

Not Only RGB is meant to explore the transposition of colour from the natural world into the realm of the digital, using digital landscapes to investigate the fundamental laws that govern our emotional and physical relationships to colour.


From our own subjective perceptions to the external world around us, this exhibition is a journey from microcosm to macrocosm through colour in digital realms."
