It’s that time again. Stewart is currently at the
Center for Art and Media (ZKM) in
Karlsruhe, Germany working with
Bernd Lintermann, head of the
Institute for Visual Media, and the ever-sharp
Global Art and the Museum team. (Bobby will return to
ZKM in June.) The result of this collaboration will be an immersive data animation of the art market—a strange and sometimes illogical economy of artists, curators, biennales, fairs, auction houses, and collectors—on display as part of the
The Global Contemporary: Art Worlds After 1989 exhibition opening this September. But for now, it’s springtime. Trees. Leaves. Rain. Breezes. Sunshine. Bunnies. Storyboards.
SQL. OpenGL. And so on. Unrelated: Seventeen years ago today there was an unhappy kid in Seattle. And then there wasn’t. How time passes.

Our new collaboration with
Robert Gerard Piertrusko and
Bernd Lintermann premieres today at the opening reception for
The Global Contemporary: Art Worlds After 1989 in Karlsruhe, Germany.
