Deep in lockdown I started saving screens. Not as a plan, because something wasn't adding up. Five years later: ten large-format mosaics, hundreds of screenshots each, Dutch and international versions running in parallel. Not translations. Separate documents of the same period, through different feeds.
People assume this is a COVID project. It isn't. COVID is maybe fifteen percent of it. What followed kept coming: finance, war, surveillance, elections, energy, tech. Same structure, different topic.
Each work exists as a large-format archival print with a Verisart certificate of authenticity. One per year, two languages, ten pieces total.
The feed forgets. This doesn't.
