Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist artwork features a bold, orange-colored background with a simple, thought-provoking text in blue reading "If we look into the sun, then we glimpse the immeasurable."

Tony Cokes

1956 , American

Fusing social and political commentary with cultural theory, Tony Cokes creates films, or video essays, that incorporate colour theory, music, sound and found texts quoted by various voices.
