Nothing
an independent media space built around artists
what's underneath ↓
a space where artists create, the people inside back them, and the value flows back to make more of it possible
it emerged from what the community started. we shaped it, named it, opened the door wider
the point ↓
built by the people inside
we did it once with clicker -> something out of nothing
now we do it with culture
if you've been here from the beginning, you already know how this works

Who's behind this booth? ❓
Nikita Lukyanov – visual artist & video director, based in Paris
The booth is simple, but behind it, months of thinking
What confession means without religion
Why people need permission
What single question makes someone say the thing they usually hide
In his words:
Everyone is strange inside. Everyone has something they want to share, but there's never a place or a moment for it. If people stopped hiding it, the world would be more interesting
Still a few spots available
13 june, Paris
If you're around, just come
😊
La Confession Booth

billboard that sells nothing
· · ·
on the US-Canada border, in Blaine, Washington, there's an empty billboard where ads usually hang. you can see the sky through it
made by Annie Han & Daniel Mihalyo. commisioned by US GSA in 2007, post-9/11, the border had become a political space. they were asked to make the first artwork a person sees entering the US
they didn't make politics, they made "nothing"
· · ·
it's been standing for 16 years
it survived three presidents, covid, almost two years of a closed border, families meeting through loopholes
it survived instagram launching in the same year, infinite scroll, algorithmic feeds. there's more ads, and less time to look around
and the empty frame still stands on the border, with the sky behind it changing every day
probably nothing

mirrors repeat space until there's no edge left
walls become copies of copies
the viewer loses orientation
some described them not as optical illusions
but as systems that destabilize perception itself
now the same thing lives online: infinite scroll, endless feeds, repeated identities, algorithmic mirrors
spaces without exits

imagine doing nothing here
it's a great day for nothing
