SE VENDE / One Bitcoin

Jun 8

SE VENDE series first collector Dean Putney with ‘Perfect Day.’ One Bitcoin exchanged. 05.31.2021 Excited and Grateful. Dean is a founder at Glowforge — an amazing success story — was at the factory in Mexico, came for a studio visit, saw the connection between my explorations, crypto-currencies, ideas about truth, ownership and Art. SE VENDE part one includes seven aluminum pieces at 6 feet tall and 14 smaller sketches at 24” square. Entirely hand made. Aluminum sculptures on a flat plane. Unlike much of my recent work these have no sensors, no electricity is required. They respond wonderfully to the crisp Baja light and are unaffected by UV. Proceeds from SE VENDE will underwrite the coming installation in Kyoto and upgrades to the studio. Looking forward to welcoming colleagues and friends in years to come. More on that soon. It’s happening.

Charles Lindsay

Charles Lindsay is an intermedia artist whose work explores the frontiers of technology, storytelling, and the cosmos. A Guggenheim Fellow, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the SETI Institute’s Artist in Residence program (SETI AIR), Lindsay creates immersive installations that fuse salvaged aerospace components, AI-generated visuals, and biomorphic soundscapes into powerful vehicles for reimagining narrative. His projects ask provocative questions—what if an AI could dream? What if a Mars rover became a Zen monk?

Lindsay has collaborated with NASA Ames, Bell Labs, and exhibited globally, including at the MIT Media Lab. At SETI, he explored conceptual links between whale communication, Morse code, and AI pattern recognition. A dream in Kyoto—of a parking meter selling time and space in a Zen garden—became a realized installation, blending ancient philosophy with digital inquiry.

As an early alpha tester for OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video platform and a lifelong lucid dreamer, Lindsay pushes the limits of how AI can amplify human consciousness. His installations function as sensory laboratories, inviting audiences to navigate the terrain between digital revelation, aesthetic curiosity, and the collective unconscious. With humor, paradox, and deep curiosity, Lindsay’s work imagines new frontiers for art, science, and the soul.
