provenance
s3xxx.com was a porn tube. it ran until 2024, then it went dark. we bought the void and kept the name.
this is the part most studios would bury. we lead with it.
duchamp chose a urinal. we chose a porn domain. the choosing is the work.
what was here before was noise. endless, loud, autoplaying. we cleared it to black and put one mark in the middle. the void behind every page of this site is not a mood, it is what remains.
now it is a two-person studio in alkmaar and arnhem. brand identities, websites, moving image. the name you didn't expect, and the work you didn't either.
