This work explores the question, What is painting? by expressing the circulation of visual expressions. Inspired by transitions in Mondrian's paintings, it is based on a component diagram of painting, where shape moves between figurative and abstract, and between noise and linearity - an idea applied to color. The work evokes the shifting state of digital materiality, emphasizing that forms in between changes are the essence. By incorporating textures printed with a baren, it reflects the artist's identity as a printmaker in digital form.

Yuko Suzuki (mole^3) is a Japanese printmaker and visual artist whose work explores the intersection of traditional printmaking and digital media. She creates using open data, images, sound, generative art, and woodblock printing. Viewing coding as a form of printmaking, she considers on-screen outputs to be the digital equivalent of physical prints. Through this perspective, her practice expands the conventional understanding of printmaking. Her work has been exhibited in Japan and internationally, including at the NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC] in Tokyo and in collaboration with the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM].

Feral File’s mission is to bring digital art beyond galleries and into daily life. We champion artists’ ambition and excellence, fostering deeper connections between their work and the public. Founded in 2020 by artist Casey Reas and technologist Sean Moss-Pultz, Feral File builds on their long-standing collaboration. It evolved from a2p (2019), an early experiment exploring digital artworks with secure provenance and artist to artist exchange. With Feral File, we expanded beyond artist networks to create a platform where collectors, institutions, and the public could engage with digital art in entirely new ways.
