View the collection on <a href="https://objkt.com/profile/tz1N4s9LXFP7gRQBeE6KKfrSbaCoRBVneibQ/created">objkt.com</a>. SOUVENIRHRZ by LoVid is a retro-futuristic collection. It’s a mix of nostalgia with rainbow colored dystopia. The sixteen stills from SOUVENIRHRZ capture moments in the artists’ work flow in the analog video studio. Each piece in the SOUVENIRHRZ collection is one frame from a video recording, deinterlaced to reveal a moment that would otherwise not be experienced by viewers. LoVid uses this deinterlacing process frequently. 
SOUVENIRHRZ is released on the occasion of LoVid's solo exhibition TANGIBLE TIMELINES at EXPANDED.ART. It's the artists' first NFTs on the blockchain Tezos.

LOVID | HUGS ON TAPE

When Tali Hinkis started creating digital art during her studies in Paris in the 1990s, it was almost forbidden. She was drawn toward video art and has been bringing the element of technology into her practice ever since. Hinkis has evolved her practice from experimenting with audio-visuals to generative art and NFTs. Together with her partner Kyle Lapidus, Hinkis builds the artist duo LoVid, whose interdisciplinary works explore the often invisible or intangible aspects of contemporary society.

In conversation with Anika Meier, the artist speaks about the early stages of her practice, female pioneers of digital art and power structures, the evolving the online art world, and advice she would give emerging female artists.

FEMALE PIONEERS AND POWER STRUCTURES

TALI HINKIS: THE GENDERED SPACE OF TECHNOLOGY 

Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus began collaborating as LoVid in 2001. What strated as a synergy of individual interests in technologies has evolved into a shared artistic vision for more than 20 years. With an ever-strong affection for analogue media and a pioneering spirit for new technologies, LoVid's works are at the cusp of analogue and digital. Immersive installations, sculptural synthesizers, single-channel videos, and textile art evolve from the duo's hand-built instruments, which are as much part of the process as they are of the artwork. 

In conversation with Anika Meier, Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus speak about the evolution of LoVid, from the early stages of making noise music to eventually bringing their media art on the blockchain, the benefits and challenges of creating art as a couple, bridging the gap between the traditional and digital art worlds, and the future of NFTs.

EXHIBITION

In the 1990s and early 2000s, Tali Hinkis loved walking around with a video camera. During this time, she was influenced by Sophie Calle, Pipilotti Rist, and Tracey Moffatt’s video HEAVEN. It was in 2000, when Hinkis first learned to use After Effects and began to reject linear thinking in her editing, that something clicked. She started considering short videos as drawings or paintings and also incorporating loops into VJ sets. BED, a video of a campy bedspread, is one of those rare videos from that time period that Hinkis managed to digitize and preserve. When she views BED in the present day, Hinkis sees a dark and moody flower contorting itself, a play on young femininity and the burden of its expectations.
