"When I lived in London I was fascinated by flyers of African Healers and the solutions to problems they promised to solve with their magic. I collected them.

Online I discovered another type of promise - this time it relates to technology, a form of digital magic. On their website term7 published a flyer that can be printed out by anyone to advertise their digital services:

I printed and reproduced this flyer."

Basel, April 2023


How serious on the one hand and how questionable on the other are all these offers? What can be said about the identity of the authors of all these flyers? Is anything truly free, sincere and genuine? And who is in control when you ask someone for help with a problem you have?

#Digital Magic:



'Digital Magic' isn’t just about augmented reality, 3D renderings, or visual effects. In fact, you might not even notice the digital elements in the works I tag as 'Digital Magic'. To me, it happens when my work harnesses technology to build community, exposes the inherent flaws and glitches in digital systems, or provides tools that empower people to resist surveillance capitalism.
