A digital monastery
and gallery.
Dataism Temple is the digital and philosophical chamber of The Best Place. It exhibits digital works, sound pieces, and editions for which provenance is recorded on a blockchain. The space is meant to be slow.
The Philosophy of Kintsugi
Conversations about time, love, death, presence, and the art of putting yourself back together. The Master of Kintsugi's podcast on how cracks become golden seams, and personal experience becomes part of a larger philosophy of life.
Curated, not crowded.
Dataism is a working perspective: data is one of the materials our century thinks with, and artists are entitled to use it the way a sculptor uses bronze.
Each piece is an artwork first and a record of authorship second. The blockchain layer carries provenance and edition information; the artwork itself remains the reason.
New works appear in cycles, with notes from the artist or curator. Edition release, never a drop. The temple is curated, not crowded.
If you collect, you already know the questions to ask. We are happy to answer them. We do not present these works as investments.
Currently on view.
Original paintings, mixed-media works, and limited editions, alongside digital pieces from the temple. Selection is curatorial.
Editions of the temple.
Digital editions whose authorship and provenance are recorded on a blockchain. Beyond that technical fact, the position is simple: these are artworks — made by an artist, with intention and craft, for an audience that wants to keep them.
From Ukraine With Love
A typographic manifesto — the flag as a message of peace. The voice of a Ukrainian spring, set into black blocks.
Ukraine Zebra
A zebra in blue and yellow stripes — wild nature wearing the flag as its natural coat.
Allies — UA × USA
A banner of solidarity: the American flag repainted in Ukrainian colours. Alliance through a symbol.
Komm, Herr Jesus
A family blessing — naïve painting in which the guest takes a place at the shared table. A memory of home.
Water Gun
A toy weapon painted in oil like a relic. Innocence under museum light.
Pink Cat
A blue-eyed kitten on crimson — pop art of tenderness, a glance from home.
Pink Face
A line portrait on bright pink — a face that looks through the noise of data.
Pink Body — Performance
The body as paint. A performance in pink and leopard boots — a digital goddess on marble.
Vortex — 2015
A vortex of paint: palette knife, oil, and bone. Abstraction as a meditation on the chaos of matter.
Cathedral of Pigment
A brick wall of colour — a cathedral built from brushstrokes. The geometry of joy and resistance.
Prophet & Fishes
An elder beneath a green moon, between two speaking fish. A parable of the word that arrives from both sides.
Golden Chalice
A golden chalice on scarlet — a vessel where light gathers. A relic of shared communion.
Eternal Flame
Red flame in a green haze, framed in golden bamboo. A fire that remembers.
Rune Wunjo — Joy
The rune of joy in an oval of moss and purple. A sign drawn in fire over stillness.
Rune — Solar
The same rune, rewritten by the sun. Red on yellow — strength and presence.
Dataism — Self Portrait
A collage-manifesto: binary code, flowers, and faces — a self-portrait of the artist inside the stream of data.
Soviet Blood Candy
A provocation-object: a candy wrapper "made from real blood" — post-Soviet pop art on memory and the sweetness of pain.
Havana — Mask & Pillar
A masked figure by a cast-iron pillar on the embankment. A quarantine elegy under a Cuban sky.
Portrait on Wood — Hat
Ink and watercolour on wood: a profile in a feathered hat. The warm grain of the wood as part of the portrait.
Ink Portrait
A black-and-white brush study: a face assembled from a few sure strokes. The anatomy of a single gesture.
Neon Prayer
An old man passes a crown to a child, watched by an angel and the Mother of God. A neon liturgy on inheritance.
Бел-Чырвона-Бел
A historic banner as a minimalist sign — three stripes of solidarity and memory.
Splatter Portrait
A silhouette of a head torn open by neon splatter. A portrait as a burst of signals.
