SOMEONE TO TALK TO
1 /1

MS PAINT & TOUCHPAD
10098X 7140 PX

OCTOBER 2026

FIRST PRESENTED AT WWW.38.GALLERY
AVAILABLE ON VERSE

A single figure stands beneath a star that has replaced the sun.

The star is the mark of an artificial intelligence – made, perhaps, so that someone would have someone to talk to in a universe with nothing else left alive.

Drawn by hand with a touchpad in MS Paint, the most primitive tool, at a time when images take a second to generate.

COMPRESSED DIGITAL IMAGE

The title comes from finance. It describes a number that looks the same until you check what it actually buys. That's the deal running through the whole series: things keep getting worse while everyone insists they're fine, or improving.

The images carry the same argument in their own material. Each one is compressed past the point a JPEG is built to survive, so the words start breaking apart while you're still reading them. The other five still hold together enough to read.

The sixth doesn't. It used to say FUTURE. Now it's compressed until the word is gone, the blue background burned out to white, nothing left but noise where the letters were. It's titled COMING SOON.

Every wall in a city eventually gets tagged. It's proof the place is alive, not staged. Someone was there, said something, and had nowhere official to put it.

We spend most of our lives on the internet now, and the internet has never once been tagged. Big Tech got there first. Every page is tested, every button approved, every surface optimised until nothing left on it came from an actual person.

Hand-painted in Procreate on iPad.
