Comment: A set of Telegram stickers for those days when touching the broken screen of your phone feels like touching somebody’s hair. When a push notification hits your central nervous system like chemicals. When you confuse the living and the dead on purpose. When it’s a summer day, and you want to be wanted more than anything else in the world (like Frank O’Hara did in 1954). Or when you’re about to disappear into a wall (like Ingeborg Bachmann did in 1971. Or maybe 1973.) For the days when you fall asleep next to your phone and still don‘t know what to say.

Comment: Metonym is a sticker set that explores store bought “irl” stickers turned digital. How they interact with one another in terms of color, and spacial relation. Bringing their paper texture into a foreign digital setting. Each one giving their own mood, feeling, or story, not unlike digital stickers/emojis.
Emma Damiani is a graphic designer and artist originally from New York. Her work is inspired by queer theory, perception, story-telling, and the way we relate to one another in our increasingly digital world.
Comment: Breakups are universal, the feeling of a broken heart comes at any age what makes love a continuous cycle in our life. Love and human relationships have evolved and are now part of an immateriality, an intangible event for a generation that is increasingly isolated. This sticker collection is a post-internet therapy, a boost of self-esteem necessary to survive a breakup in the immaterial era 3.0.

Comment: This collection of stickers is a collage from the DADA magazine cover Le cœr à barbe (Paris, France, 1922). It is part of a larger series of works in which IOCOSE move the world forward, one object at the time.
IOCOSE’s art investigates the after-failure moment of the teleological narratives of technological and cultural development, in regards to both their enthusiastic and pessimistic visions. IOCOSE believe that, in the long run, both utopian and dystopian narratives will disappoint, and much more mundane and varied realities will remain. IOCOSE’s focus is on the present moment in which the future is narrated, and on the ways in which these narratives are always already failing.
IOCOSE have been exhibiting internationally at several art institutions and festivals, including Venice Biennale (2011, 2013), Tate Modern (London, 2011), Science Gallery (Dublin, 2012) Jeu de Paume (Paris, 2011), FACT (Liverpool, 2012), MACRO (Rome, 2012), Transmediale (Berlin, 2013, 2015), Shift festival (Basel, 2010), The Influencers (Barcelona, 2010, 2013), TAJ and SKE gallery (Bangalore, 2014).
Comment: two sticker sets with altogether 65 black and white stickers.

Joan is part of the artist duo JODI. Joan & DIrk abuse the Internet for artistical practice since the mid-1990s. Their website JODI.org was the first website that explored the World Wide Web’s new codes and conventions. At its release in August 1995 the website was rejected by the WWWeb Directory because it appeared ‘broken’and malicious.(Debates on the possible damaging effects of the site continue untill today) In 1996 the site was declared Net.art/> by an email glitch that spread via the Nettime mailinglist. Since then /meta name=”viewport” content=”width=devicewidtover%##00ff00evelop/32/1 ment/3/3oofe2t.a2r3n.231gro 33wing/2MscK&leub.dis2co33n_p9783-0-=10 23 NOD3Iwqc3reate3dm2a^%&*nypr3o_3cts/th32at/f333ed/\/3313/2132fut231her/sC
Comment: 50 stickers made from the deleted intima.org net art works Expunction (1996-2007). “Our memory serves to deceive, to betray us, to misrepresent rather than paint and describe the past.”
