"GEN PNL (DYOR U 1)" (2023) and "GEN PNL (DYOR U 3)" (2023) are digital collages on Aludibond in which Niko Abramidis &NE combines pigment print and spray paint to explore different time horizons. In the series of works, the artist uses image-generating artificial intelligence to create unreal temple architectures inspired by Greek mythology and the Odyssey by the ancient poet Homer. Abramidis &NE combines these motifs with images of stock prices, microchips, and film stills from science fiction movies, and sets them in spherical color worlds that he works on with spray paint and brushes. "For me, these images are also testimonies from the future, when our civilization, like that of the Egyptians, the ancient Greeks, the Mayans and the Incas, will eventually have perished. You can't look into the future without looking at the past. In a way, my way of working is a future archeology." In Abramidis &NE's works, different times collide that are not (yet) clearly decipherable - thus the artist distorts comprehensible time horizons and thus refers to our present, which has become impenetrable due to its complexity.
