Three Sculptures at Inner Voice
These three new sculptures have joined Inner Voice at Danae Gallery in Paris: Cloud of the Past, Cloud of the Present, and Cloud of the Future were created by re-engaging with my triptych Known, Uncertain, Unknown: My Past, Present, and Future. Each sculpture is printed via SLA in hardened, UV-protected clear resin, measuring 240 x…

New Cloud of the Present
For Inner Voice at Danae Gallery, Paris, I am re-engaging with my 2024 triptych Known, Uncertain, Unknown: My Past, Present, and Future, originally created for the {R(Evolutionaries);generations} group exhibition at Art Dubai 2024 with Morrow Collective. The triptych is a visual reflection on the past years of crypto art practice, drawing on transtemporal theory, in…
Inner Voice Group Exhibition
I am pleased to share that I will be part of Inner Voice, a group exhibition opening on Wednesday, May 28, at Danae Gallery in Paris, through July 31, 2026. For the show, I will present Known, Uncertain, Unknown: My Past, Present, and Future, a triptych drawing on transtemporal theory, in which past, present, and future do not exclude…

Recap Bitcoin 2026 Las Vegas
Bitcoin 2026 Las Vegas has wrapped up, and it was once again a conference worth the trip. I was pleased to showcase Do Not Accumulate, a new Ordinal project exploring the design, implications, and quiet coercions of Central Bank Digital Currencies. The work generated exactly the kind of dialogue I had hoped for, specific, informed,…

Visualizing a Century of Inflation
Thrilled to have presented PAC: A Century of Charted Devaluation at the Bitcoin Las Vegas 2026 conference. P(lotting) A(against) C(entralization) is a generative visualization of 100 years of monetary erosion. Loosely abstracting the design of the 1 Dollar bill, the work features 100 rectangles, one per year. Angled lines within each rectangle represent that year’s…

Iterating Linear Skies
I am teaching a new script to read the sky. New experiments in translating clouds into geometry are mostly based on contrast, colour-mapping, and hatching. Still rough, still learning. More to come. J’apprends un nouveau script pour lire le ciel. De nouvelles expériences pour traduire les nuages en géométrie, principalement fondées sur le contraste, la…
Tracing Cloud Contours
I’ve been diving into a new script that traces the horizon to identify and isolate clouds, using that data to explore the negative space around them with generative patterns. It’s a fun mix of atmospheric logic and digital abstraction. Here’s a first look at some of the early outputs from the collage. It’s still a…
Cloud Fragments Recomposed
Here is a small preview from a generative script that recomposes my cloud images. The process breaks the photograph into pieces and reassembles them through algorithmic steps, much like how an encryption algorithm transforms data into a different form. Voici un aperçu d’un script génératif qui recompose mes images de nuages. Le processus découpe la…

About This Archive
A Public Studio Practice
In 2024, Martin Lukas Ostachowski moved his studio documentation from social media to his own website. Studio Notes is the result: a permanent, searchable archive of his creative process, owned and controlled entirely by the artist.
What began as a replacement for Instagram Stories and Twitter Posts has grown into a working journal of an artistic practice, updated several times per month, often per week, organized by year, and structured around 12 topical categories.
Each entry captures a moment in the studio: generative algorithm experiments, pen plotter calibrations, photography from flights and travels, AI-assisted composition tests, 3D rendering studies, stamping techniques on cotton paper, and the events, press coverage, and exhibitions that punctuate the working year.
These notes complement the finished pieces in the Catalogue and the exhibition coverage in News, offering an intimate view into the research and experimentation that connects Ostachowski’s art practice with his academic work as a PhD researcher in crypto art history at the University of Zurich.
