TEMPERANCE
One foot in subconscious flow, one on the material world. The temperance card represents the harmony that comes from the union of dualities, a blend of energies that evolve a person like metal patiently and methodically tempered in the forge to create an enduring artifact.
Inspired by NUXUI by Nic Hamilton
NUXUI is 333 compositions of strange (yet familiar) objects, mechanic and organic fragments, tactile materials, and thick atmospheres. The arrangements grow and decay across the spectrum of the series. They are overlaid with still and moving blurs and held within the frame of a digital viewport. The pieces are captivating - decorative talismans / liquifying circuit-boards.
Common through the series are braille-like tactile electronics fragments and patterns. This card detaches these fragments from the rich textured depth of NUXUI’s elemental materials (shiny metal, cool stone, powdery chalk, molten oily plastic, salt, opaque resin, porosity, gloss, rough, matte, liquid) and re-presents them as severed, floating, material-free digital shorthand. A kind of reverse tempering.
