Having these tools at our disposal to visualize pairings of objects or people that otherwise would not naturally be combined is quite powerful but in the wrong hands can be incredibly dangerous. Does it spark curiosity about how such a relationship really did or didn't benefit in 2020? If creative minds don't test all of the resources at our disposal do we ever know what the true potential would be? Who could be intertwined with who doing what and where? What could be convinced of vulnerable minds that have already been led astray? What if relationships existed but without much visual context? Could the blanks be filled effectively?

GRAMS (b.1985) is a visual fabricator from New York whose versatile body of work spans filmmaking, photography, sound design, motion graphics, and illustration.

His artistic journey began at a young age but consciously became a major pursuit during adolescence when the artist started experimenting with a camera that had been left unused by his father – with the newfound passion primarily fueled by capturing moments with friends while snowboarding.

To date, some of the artist's top achievements include a sold-out genesis drop on Nifty Gateway, Sloika's all-time high sale of 2 eth, and having his work displayed in Italy, Japan, Canada, and America. Perhaps more importantly, GRAMS’ creative lens has enabled him to travel the world capturing some of the most talented snowboarders and musicians alive.

Through his art GRAMS aims to capture the fleeting experiences earth has to offer in hopes of inspiring viewers to put down their phones and explore the here and now.
