Over the holiday period I created Chromacode. A visual identity system for my work inspired by Peter Saville’s Blue Monday cover. Read about it here brendandawes.com/chromacode/ or see it in action in any project page on my site.

Under the Skin is one of my all time fave films and I’ve just read the incredible book. Glazer’s film centre’s on the main character whilst Faber’s book is much more detailed. A book that will stay with me for a long time.

Loved this conversation with @marcthiele.com and @bradfrost.com https://beyondtellerrand.com/blog/brad-frost-wake-up-excited-with-marc-thiele

Well it took me several days of wrangling but finally upgraded my @getkirby.com powered site from 2.5 to 5!

I’ll be part of a new show at Gazelli Art House, showing some new work. Private view October 2nd. RSVP here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/preview-subject-to-change-tickets-1524894884649?aff=oddtdtcreator

Both myself and Gary Hustwit are thrilled to be finalists in the Aesthetica Art Prize 2025. We’re thrilled to be featured alongside such a stellar line-up of artists. The work will be running live non-stop from 19th September at York Art Gallery where you can see all the short-listed works.

“Whether crafting 3D-printed sculptures from motion data or visualising digital memories, Dawes’s work is a reminder that digital tools can be used to reveal — not erase — the human presence.” https://artplugged.co.uk/art-digital-world-human-after-all/

Lovely write up following the Japanese premiere of Eno. https://note.com/akiko_saito/n/nee0970f844a6?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwK8tehleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHtj2x0m6e3hwnqN1iP11ZSSjHgpidOYk46Wf7OOOgjIQyRUISWqR4q4sO3eE_aem_dgZRJoYliZXAwHwm5Amkmw

Thanks @florianziegler.com for the wonderful photos @beyondtellerrand.com https://florian.photo/gallery/btconf-dus-2025

Thank you @marcthiele.com for a wonderful experience at Beyond Tellerrand.

One of the many reasons I love @getkirby.com is how easy it is to spin up an API I can then use for other things, like an algorithmic publication about my 25 years of work, all the data driven from my website, via Kirby.

Loved A Garden Against Time by Olivia Laing.

Apparently it’s been ten years since I last spoke at a @beyondtellerrand.com event! Looking forward to being back at this always wonderful conference run by the ace @marcthiele.com https://beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusseldorf-2025/schedule/monday

Generative Financial Crash Haiku Cut-ups

Myself and Gary Hustwit are thrilled to learn Nothing Can Ever Be The Same — the real-time generative work based on the archive of Brian Eno which first premiered at the 2023 Venice Music Biennale has been shortlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize! Huge thanks to the jury for shortlisting our work.

Sending out more of these today. Limited edition, signed and numbered. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
