COLLECTION 01

2025 — A suite of contemporary art works translating original conceptual photographs into queer memory via ASCII, where syntax becomes ritual and submission becomes structure. Each piece serves as a devotional architecture of latency, formatting, and digital survival.

Tryptich for 'BODY.QUEUE' by Characters ASCII showing the original conceptual photograph of mirrored nude male bodies, the framed ASCII installation on salvaged dot-matrix paper, and a macro detail of character-based rendering — a contemporary queer artwork exploring asynchronous touch, digital delay, and post-digital intimacy.

Tryptich for 'CTRL+SUB' by Characters ASCII featuring a BDSM-inflected conceptual photo, the framed ASCII-rendered installation, and a close-up of monospaced characters forming bodily contours — a post-digital erotica exploring restraint, mutual override, and queer code.

Tryptich for 'SAFE MODE' by Characters ASCII presenting a photo of two nude figures folded into one, the final framed ASCII installation in grayscale, and a detail of the character grid — a contemporary queer ASCII artwork evoking emotional shielding, buffering, and protective embodiment.

Tryptich for 'SOFT.RENDER' by Characters ASCII combining a conceptual photograph of many hands touching a torso, the framed ASCII portrait printed on salvaged dot-matrix paper, and a macro of the ASCII texture — a queer digital artwork exploring surrender, ritual, and touch translated through code.

Tryptich for 'SUBMISSION FORMAT' by Characters ASCII including a source photograph of a folded nude male figure, the five-sheet framed ASCII installation, and a close-up of the character-coded output — a contemporary queer ASCII artwork examining power, formatting, and structured erotic submission.

Tryptich for '(txt)TOUCH' by Characters ASCII featuring an intimate conceptual photo, the pink colorway framed ASCII installation, and a detail of the digitized skin contact — a queer ASCII artwork about gesture, ambiguity, and the softness of code-mediated touch.

RESEARCH & STUDIES

An archive of research, experiments, and material studies. These works trace early formulations of touch, code, and translation—provisional gestures that scaffold the larger project of characters ascii.

Tryptich for 'AWAITING INPUT' by Characters ASCII showing a conceptual photo of a nude male figure in suspended gesture, the framed ASCII installation, and a detail of the face rendered in monospaced syntax — a queer digital study of waiting, signal, and sensual stillness.

Tryptich for 'INPUT.OVERRIDE' by Characters ASCII presenting a composite photo of found queer imagery, the final framed ASCII output on salvaged dot-matrix paper, and a macro of facial fragmentation — a post-digital erotica investigating consent, enforced transmission, and machinic submission.
