About the artwork
Void explores an existential fear of emptiness — not fear of danger, but fear that reality itself has no solid foundation. It suggests that the world is held together less by rules, and more by our constant agreement to believe it is real.
The void here is not destruction, but cancellation: meaning fades, stability collapses, and even identity feels like an interface that can suddenly switch off.
In this work, the end of everything is not dramatic — it is quiet. A silence that keeps growing, until it reveals the final thought: the void was never outside of us. It was always there, waiting to be seen.

Audio explanation
Listen to don't Buy discuss this work.
Don’t Buy is a visual artist who creates digital paintings, videos, and GIFs using artificial intelligence and mixed media. Embracing a moniker that itself subverts consumerist language, he approaches art-making with a hacker’s spirit – repurposing AI technology to explore the beauty of errors and the aesthetics of early digital culture. In his work, glitchy abstractions and retro graphics converge to address themes of identity and imperfection in the online era. “When a cold, mechanical machine makes a mistake, it becomes a little more human,” Don’t Buy notes, reflecting his view that technological faults can reveal human qualities. This philosophy underscores much of his art, which often highlights the serendipity of algorithmic mistakes and the nostalgia of outdated interfaces.
A participant in Fellowship’s AI art program, Don’t Buy has presented projects that encapsulate his ethos. Notably, his series 404: SELF NOT FOUND (2024) is an assemblage of AI-generated imagery probing our entanglement with digital identities and the nature of error. Through a mix of dark humor and experimental technique, he transforms mundane clicks and computer glitches into artistic meditation.
