One Step Forward

Synopsis

This artist's book documents the awalkaday project from inception in 2017 to its conclusion in 2024. The online book is bound with a toolkit used since day one and its pages narrate crucial keystrokes and steps. A blend of diverse media — photography, poetry, code, social posts, and blockchain tokens — weaves creative nonfiction into autobiographical insights told from a third-person omniscient viewpoint.

Its illustrated pages tell the story of a terrestrial odyssey across public spaces and computing platforms. Acting as the annotated companion to a series of 263 photographs shot during regular walks throughout Belgium, Europe, the book captures both visual and emotional landscapes. It's the online culmination of an eight-year project by an exiled artist, pioneering a digital artwork that integrates all timestamped drafts into one open-source and free edition.
