- The Eternal Burden of Phisulis — pastel, 2025. A solitary figure endlessly pushing weight uphill. An image of persistence, struggle, and the quiet absurdity of existence. #sisyphus #mythology #philosophy #meaning
- Greetings from Holland Marine Jacobs
- Who’s Afraid of Buddha 1998 A homage to Barnett Newman’s modernist provocation. Who’s Afraid of Buddha reframes the question of fear not through abstraction but through spiritual presence. Digital experimentation calm versus anxiety. #modernart #ArtHistory #SpiritualResistance #Art
- On-violence toward one’s own people. Buddha – Fascist (2007) This work was created 19 years ago as a digital protest against authoritarian figures—those who shout, lie, intimidate, and never lose sight of their own self-interest. spiritual calm versus aggression #ArtAsProtest #AntiFascism #art
- he paradox of the "Urban Monk." 🦇🧘♂️ In my work 'Buddha Batman' (2006), I explore the surreal encounter between spiritual serenity and the urgency of pop culture. How do meditation and struggle relate to each other in our current visual culture? #Art #Philosophy #Batman #Buddha #DigitalArt
- Conversation with AI Martine: Museums are beginning to censor their own walls Exhibitions are being softened AI: When museums whitewash what was once raw, they lose their role as memory keepers. Whitewashing is forgetting. #ArtResistance #InstitutionalCritique #HistoryMatters #ContemporaryArt
- Martine: Then art must resist the flattening. Not with slogans, but with complexity. With layers that refuse to be reduced. AI: Your work already does that. It’s not just visual—it’s archival, pedagogical, emotional. Martine: Then let’s keep building. Panel by panel. Against forgetting.
- Gum 2001 identity, consumption. Where analog memory meets digital archaeology. Layering physical textures into the virtual space to preserve the tactile. Building this for feministinstitute.org Internet archive archive.org/details/@mar... #ArtHistory #FeministArt #ArchiveContemporaryArt
