Studio projects, writing, and encounters with artists—an ongoing record of bd.

Abstract monochrome digital artwork featuring layered textures, dark ink-like blots and splashes, ghosted vertical streaks, and circular graphic accents over a moody grayscale background. A strange world of my own (looking back to move forward) - A reflection on crossmyheart, remix, experimentation, and looking backward to understand how a strange world has become one of my defining statements.

A composite of three vertical video stills against a black background. Each panel captures a high-contrast, ghostly profile of a figure in motion blur. The face is abstracted into streaks of blown-out white and warm light, creating a sense of rapid, loop-based repetition and fragmentation. Recomposing time: short-form video as conceptual EP - Rather than treat short-form videos as promo clips, I imagined them as remixes in their own right—a conceptual EP existing through looping structures and algorithmic feeds.

High-contrast, front-facing portrait of a man in a black beanie and sunglasses against a pitch-black background. His face is heavily blown out with white light, overlaid with a distorted, double-exposed projection of warm orange horizontal scan lines across his eyes and forehead. What happens when a machine reads experimental art? - An experiment in AI interpretation during the making of crossmyheart, where production data becomes the basis for a machine reading of the work.

The rumors are true (or, how one thing becomes another) - A new remix album from luke kurtis, reimagining “a harras” through ambient, industrial, and synth-pop textures.

Two tabloid-style newspapers against a black background featuring the headline “LUKE KURTIS SELLS OUT, GOES POP,” with bold red-and-black graphics, a blurred portrait photo, and a small black-and-white image of a basement interior in the upper corner. I don’t know what to make of this. - I have no memory of approving this.

A close-up, black-and-white image of a person holding their head in their hands, eyes closed, with a distressed or contemplative expression. a map of fragments - A personal reflection on solitude, travel, and creative process—tracing time spent in Austria, Hungary, and Japan, and introducing a harras, a new multi-part project exploring memory, loss, and the unseen…
