“The QSL I Acknowledge Receipt of your Transmission project restores constructive friction to the communication process by pairing collaborators from distant geographic locations and tasking them with the creation of physical artworks.

The first iteration of the project was launched by professors Taylor Hokanson, Columbia College Chicago; Dan Norton, ADEMA University, Mallorca; and Vasyl Savchenko, Academy of Fine Arts, Gdańsk, who encouraged their students to share their artworks on the digital platform Figma.

Participants experimented with different ways to download and physically manifest one another’s designs, which were then remixed, fed back into the computer, and shared out for further manipulation.”

The QSL Project was further remixed by artists at the fine arts university Grado Bellas Artes Adema (Mallorca) who intervened in another ongoing exhibition:

“What happens when an exhibition is allowed to intervene?
A group of Fine Arts students enter the room to activate, hack and remix the sample.
"Interferences" is an art project in transmission: works that travel, receive and transform between Palma, Gdansk, Chicago and Nairobi.
Postal art, performance and sound living within
“Gratification is aggression. The Young Plastic and the renewal of the arts in Mallorca (1969–1982)”.

Exposure is not just for looking.
It's to listen, cross and respond.”

The exhibition and performance was held at Casal Solleric in Palma, Spain from January 16th-21st, 2026.

Columbia College Chicago’s exhibition was held at 754 S. Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL from March 5th-April 6th, 2026.

The Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk held this exhibition at the Art Armory from January 23rd-February 3rd, 2026.
