Limitless Conceptualism

This month's featured Flickr photo had no description, but it did have a title and a useful set of tags. Among the tags were 'Museum of Art and Technology', 'Mercer Labs', and 'New York City'.

A search on the title of the photo leads to Roy Nachum (roynachum.com), where the 'About' page says,

Roy Nachum’s experimental paintings, installations, sculptures and designs incorporate elements traditionally used in conceptual and interactive art. Works often include Braille text in relief. [...] Nachum currently lives in New York and works in New York and Italy.

The photo's tags lead to Museum Of Art & Technology | Mercer Labs (mercerlabs.com), where we learn,

Museum of Art and Technology • Mercer Labs transforms the museum experience across 36,000 sq ft with 15 experimental exhibition spaces, interactive encounters, and immersive installations. Led by artists, this Experimental Institution redefines the relationship between art and technology, fostering collaboration and innovation through curated programs. At the heart of it, Roy Nachum's on-site laboratory brings visionary art to reality, inviting visitors to experience the world through a new lens.

As for the affirmation that 'Roy Nachum’s experimental paintings [...] incorporate elements traditionally used in conceptual and interactive art', conceptual art has been a recurring theme on this blog. For the previous post, see The Most Conceptual of the Conceptualists (March 2025).
