Kraftwerk is playing it’s entire album catalog in a series of concerts entitled “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 : The Catalog in 3D” on eight consecutive nights from January 16 to January 23, 2015 at the Paradiso, Amsterdam. Chuck Sperry created a digitized and pixelated portrait of Dutch artist genius Vincent Van Gogh for Kraftwerk’s electronic concert series at Holland’s legendary Paradiso. If you look closely Van Gogh has been broken into a random sequence of binary code. Even though the subject is geometrically fragmented, his angst is still recognizable through his piercing blue eyes. Chuck felt this pairing of art’s modernist genius with music’s modernist masters to be an evocative commentary on the world’s uneasy progress into the digital age.

Chuck will be making a very limited release of this poster and it’s variants on Saturday, January 24, 2015 at a random time at ChuckSperry.net
Finally Chuck does a poster for a group I like and it sucks. What a missed opportunity.
