Curated by Fakewhale, the release presents three 1/1 video works where AI, cybernetics, and semiotics converge to reconfigure signs, language, and systems of value.
Developed across Madrid, London, and San Francisco, the series unfolds as a sustained inquiry into abstraction as an operative force within contemporary technoculture.
Ian Margo, Third Extension, 2025 (Video still)
THE WET BOX
(10:10 min, 4K, single-channel)
Noise, AI, and sound fragments construct the liquid instability of the sign.
Abstraction performs here as a cybernetic gesture that unsettles cognition and reconfigures language.
THIRD EXTENSION
(8:42 min, 4K, single-channel with the possibility of three-channel expansion)
The face becomes a site of recursive encoding and resignification.
Geometry and mediation intersect, generating value through fractured directionality.
FIELDWARE
(11:00 min, 4K, single-channel with the capacity for fifteen auxiliary channels)
A distributed field of image and sound expands into fractured environments.
Abstraction disperses continuity into resonance and collapse.

Ian Margo (b. 2000, Spain) is an artist, researcher, graphic designer, and curator whose work addresses the intersections of art, technology, and the philosophy of language. Working across video, generative AI, 3D, blockchain, Web3, datamoshing, performance, and interactive installations, he is co-founder of 邊界_RG and Gaara. His practice examines mediation, language, performativity, and cognition within contemporary ecologies, foregrounding the production of value and its entanglement with material and political processes. Margo has presented work at Grey Area Festival (San Francisco, 2025), Hangar.org with the Institute of Network Cultures (Barcelona, 2025), Prime Intellect Decentralized AI Day (San Francisco, 2025), OpenSecret (New York, 2025), ADAF (Athens, 2025), and Documentamadrid (2024), among others. He was a finalist in Hyper House’s annual competition (2025) and has exhibited widely across Europe and North America.
