Pressed Pause by Loren Bednar marks Unit’s second release with Art Blocks Engine, an interactive collection that speaks to our desire to pause and reflect in order to fully embrace our present. Bednar invites viewers to become active participants, co-creators of the collection, not merely by minting and generating a unique artwork in real-time, which is the premise of Art Blocks, but by encouraging continued interaction with the piece following its creation. Through the simple command of ‘press and hold’, collectors are given control over the artwork’s state of being. By pressing and holding, one can choose between a static depiction and a slowly shifting one, connecting the underlying programme with our aspirations to influence the perpetual dynamics of existence.
