The Gaze of Wisdom, Time and Loss

The Gaze of Wisdom, Time and Loss by Hulki Okan Tabak 100 editions minted on KnownOrigin, November 2022, Dada Dreams concept I wondered about the name. I really care about the titles. Perhaps even too much. Somehow I have a feeling they kind of frame the artwork. Arrest its development or let it on a path with it collectors and viewers. I wondered here as well. Changed couple of times. Then added. Three of them. Why in that order? Why so many questions today? Going through a dark period within and without, my experimentation urge and capacity is heightened. It's possibly a lifeline to latch on. Creation nowadays controls my disorder and gives meaning. Dada Dreams is an experiment to reflect some of my darker thoughts into AI assisted visual outputs. Among the completed pieces so far, I've gone between extensively edited GIFs and relatively untouched stills. Inspiration for the project was primarily the Dada movement.
