An internet art collective focused on creating digital and in-person experiences that examine digital activism, hip hop culture, race, gender and class, FELT Zine was founded a decade ago to give voice to art that wouldn’t likely be embraced by traditional galleries or museums.
The debut exhibition Gardens of FELT Zine Delights is a simulated world, video series, and interactive experience inspired by classic icons from Hieronymus Bosch’s famed triptych, The Garden of Earthly Delights (1490 - 1510). Originally conceived as a series of 3D-rendered sculptures and animations to be released as a collection of NFTs, Gardens of FELT Zine Delights has evolved into a fully developed interactive world built using a video game engine.
Devon Moore aka Dev Moore is a net artist, curator, creative technologist, and member of the FELT Zine collective. Dev’s work incorporates technology, modern-day youth experiences, personhood, music culture, and more all while referencing components of tech culture.
Lil Zé aka Lady aka Z arrived from planet Mercury to the city of Oakland full of sounds and noises that needed to be shared with the earthly beings. In return they shared their musical knowledge and hence their language was formed in to this mix here. Sounds from the underground’s of Colombia, Mali, Brasil, Soweto, Angola, CDMX, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Oakland the universe and beyond.
