Digital artist A.L Crego walks comfortably in the midpoint between the stillness of the picture and the continuous but condemned to an end frames of the film. This self- thought digital artisan, creates mostly impressive loops to directly represent his ver own mental images generating an hypnotic visual mantra.
Crego, who uncovered his passion for this artform after recognising how the moving images made people think faster and more accessibly than other forms of art, creates images with a sort of sci-fi classical aesthetic that seem to be speaking for themselve in a way that often feels like they're images culled directly from his own subconscious.
Tied to the creation of loops—rather than any specific software or hardware he ca get his hands on to make them—it comes down to people, books, quotes he writes, poetry, sociology, psychology and more for his inspiration. Now something of a heavy-hitter when it comes to the GIF making industry, Crego has been approached by various DJs, artists, and agencies who are all interested in getting their own personal work made.
In his way of taking out gif format from the web he is spreading his pieces through projectors, digital canvases, cinemas and Augmented Reality apps, playing with the new born “digital public space” and making questions about the concept of museums, art and even reality.
The impact of his work on blockchain has been significant, not only for its ability t create collectible works but also for its participation in debates about the future of intellectual property and the value of digital works in a decentralized context.
For Crego, gif and loop format is not only a way of creating and watching art but a new way of thinking.
The Web is the canvas.
The Web is the audience.
The Web is the gallery.
The Web is the museum.
