Mythic Being UGLyD - Limited Edition 1 of 1 Artwork

Imagine a robot visits a gallery. The robot goes to the gallery's database, looks up an artwork and reads the title and other metadata. On this occasion, the robot selects artworks with titles that have keywords of the human rights declaration. It then generates a display and reads the title as text. (The original meta-data connected to this work is shown at the bottom of the image). “Mythic Being UGLyD” is one of the 25 unique works that I made from this sequence. The 25 works in this series can be seen individually or grouped together in a changing arrangement, creating different narratives from the titles as texts. This work also features the artist’s typeface, Being Human, which includes keywords of the human rights declaration in the capitals. It is mounted behind clear plexiglass which reflects the surroundings and adds accidental and temporary images to the work. This artwork was commissioned by John Hansard Gallery, Southampton UK. It was shown in the exhibition ‘Time After Time’, with work by Caroline Bergvall, Victor Burgin, Hamad Butt, John Latham, and Charlotte Posenenske. For more information see the artist’s website [ ] or email. This unique work is signed on the back, and is made with museum quality hi-definition 12 colour printing, certified for 100+ years. It is face mounted on plexiglass, with a solid aluminium subframe, creating a floating image in front of the wall. The 5 mm crystal clear plexiglass with polished edges creates a smooth contemporary work. The back of the image is sealed with a white backing layer to protect it.
