I'M WAITING FOR THE NIGHT TO FALL: The ERC-721 token triptych 'Courtship' are AI hallucinations of the UNINVITED film, where everything is real, everything is dark, and all that we feel is tranquility. Cars breathe heavily and negative space slowly vibrates. Sensual bodies move rhythmically and fatalistically in the freezing darkness. Reflections of the coastal nightlife are buzzing. These UNINVITED 'undead stills' evolved into ERC-721 token triptychs through film splicing. Described by the artists as 'radically new AI-CCTV creatures, atomized synthetic organism oscillating between anxiety, lust, and horror looking at a world where nothing makes sense.'

This is an edition of 1/1 plus 1 AP. This is part 1 of the triptych UNINVITED Stills: Courtship.

About Nye Thompson & UBERMORGEN

Nye Thompson (she/her b. 1966) is an artist turned software designer turned artist. Her work spans image-making, video and sculptural installation, film-making, archiving, mapping, experimental software architectures and process-based performance.

UK and international exhibitions include Tate Modern, The Barbican, The Lowry, The V&A, ZKM Karlsruhe, Chronus Art Center, Ars Electronica and The Louvre. Her work has been featured on BBC, Radio 4, Channel 4 News, CNN, Flash Art, the Guardian and Wired. Thompson has made a horror film for a machine audience and transmitted postcards for satellites out into space (the satellites responded in kind). Her very first solo show in 2016 - described by C4 News as “too shocking to broadcast” - became global clickbait and triggered an international government complaint. She has been called "a contemporary Jacques Cousteau" (Bob & Roberta Smith) and "the new Big Brother" (Vogue).

Thompson and UBERMORGEN were recipients of the Lumen Prize Gold Award 2021 for their short film UNINVITED. She was also a finalist for the Arts Foundation Futures Awards 2023. Her work is included in the V&A Museum National Collection, as well as international and UK private collections. Following a Fine Art degree from YBA-era Goldsmiths with a career in software and human-machine interface design, Thompson returned to artistic practice with an MA in 2013. She is based in the UK and operates between London and mid-Wales.
