GAZELL.iO is delighted to present Deep Real Portraits by LoVid, as part of their ongoing project, heartsleeves. This project invites participants into a collaborative sit-down session with the artists, transforming portraiture through a uniquely immersive and generative process on the blockchain. The project begins with an abstract, code-based video art piece showcasing LoVid’s signature blend of symbols and shapes in a constantly shifting visual fabric. This video is stored on-chain and serves as the foundation for each participant’s portrait environment. During the live session, the collector is seated in a “portrait studio” where the generative video becomes an active, immersive backdrop, blending with the sitter’s features in real-time. Guided by LoVid, the participant’s face becomes entwined with colours, shapes, and patterns, which wrap and recontextualise their appearance, creating a layered and dynamic portrait. This session invites direct interaction, as participants make decisions with LoVid on colours, exposure, and framing, contributing their input to the evolving artwork. Each co-created video portrait is then minted on the blockchain, adding it to the heartsleeves series, where each piece becomes part of a collective, living artwork and a testament to shared creative agency.

About LoVid

LoVid is a NY-based interdisciplinary artist duo working collaboratively since 2001. LoVid’s practice focuses on aspects of contemporary society where technology seeps into human culture and perception. Throughout their interdisciplinary projects over two decades, LoVid has maintained their signature visual and sonic aesthetic of colour, pattern, and texture density, with disruption and noise. LoVid’s work captures an intermixed world layered with virtual and physical, materials and simulations, connection and isolation.

LoVid’s process includes home-made analog synthesizers, hand-cranked code, and tangible materials; their videos, textile works, performances, net-art, installations, and NFTs have been exhibited worldwide for over two decades.
