Likespeed, 2019. Letterpress-Print. 58,4 x 46,2 cm. Ed. 30, 10 for Bonner Kunstverein. 450 EUR. Arno Beck transforms typical forms and symbols of the digital image culture into drawings, paintings or prints by means of analogue processes. ‚Likespeed’, a letterpress print, is based on a typewriter drawing created from a limited number of characters and letters. Through the seemingly repetitive action of ‚Copy’ and ‚Paste’, a ‚Love-Emoji’ is elevated to the three-dimensional space in the form of a snake that feeds on an exuberant swarm of ‚Likes.’.
