Carpoolers is an acclaimed documentary photo series and self-published project from Mexican photographer Alejandro Cartagena started in 2011. Concerned with the neoliberal policymaking in the city of Monterrey and rapid housing expansions on the outskirts of the city, Cartagena critically documents the fissures between blue-collar urban centres and the lack of infrastructure connecting the suburban overgrowth.
“The collection of The 50 Carpoolers depicts laborers in México captured from an overpass, commuting between distant suburbs and urban centers. Like much of my work, this project comes from a desire to tell the story of the dramatic environmental, economic, and demographic changes playing out in my home city of Monterrey. This series has circulated the internet since 2011 and has been exhibited widely around the world”
“From the vantage point of a highway overpass, the photographer has vividly and repetitiously documented the contract workers and tradesmen who hitch rides in the back of the trucks that will take them to that day’s worksite. As many as eleven labourers are seen at a time in open beds scattered with equipment and commercial goods; many sleep side-by-side, perhaps as strangers to each other. Provoking in its apparent ubiquitousness, this fiercely conceptual series raises concerns regarding the failure of urbanism and neoliberalism in Mexico; its ecological ramifications; and social and economic stratification—within the confines of the image itself even the driver and owner of the vehicle, concealed in the cabin and unseen to us, holds a superior status to the labourers who are exposed to the elements.“
“The way the worker is lying on the bed of the truck with the old wood really gives the sense of the invisibility of the people that build our cities. Having worked in the service industry for years myself...in hotels and restaurants, traveling for hours in buses, that invisibility was latent and a burden that is not to be taken lightly. It was also a space to build an idea of the life I wanted. 10 years, traveling 3-4hrs a day back then, has made me very thankful of my life today”

16 months in creation, a piece inspired by LAN internet parties at the time Designcollector just started, released by gifted CG artist Cornelius Dämmrich as an NFT on @Superrare.co
“In 2011 I made a piece called "Ancient Area Network" which depicts a LAN Party in an old building that wasn't anything like the half-timbered house I lived in for many years, but it was my attempt to capture the atmosphere and chaos these gatherings had. I started this cycle 10 years ago with a depiction of a LAN Party and I'm closing it with another. This time with more delpherian touches to it. Mr. Wanderer is back with a whole duffle bag full of connectivity issues.”
“When I was 14, the most common LAN theme we had were birthday and weekend LANs that would go for two days and were never attended by more than 8 people. There was one LAN hosted by a student committee at my Highschool with roughly 130 people attending but that was never the norm for us. Most of us were not (yet) nerdy enough for the demo scene and we were too young and poor to attend the big boy LAN parties in early 2000 Germany.”
“The host’s parents would organize soda, snacks and a hearty alternative ("real food"). Every attendee would arrive half an hour apart and the first third of the night was usually spend with troubleshooting the network ("can anyone see me?","okay, let's all set the same workgroup", etc.), the second third was spend sharing porn, DVD rips, MP3s and games and the last part was either playing actual games or a combination of playing games and re-installing windows on someone’s PC because something broke.”

Numerous visits to France since 1995 had a huge impact on Alexis Olin's art. Since then, painting, music, photography, and fashion have become connected in all the projects to which he relates. Despite the variety of activities, brushes with canvas and computer with digital pen remain a priority. The seven-year edition of the K9 comic book magazine and the fascination with the Franco-Belgian School of graphic novels form the basis for writing paintings and illustrations. Later, the work of the Renaissance, as well as contemporary artists from Europe and Asia, became the inspiration. Creating the Métrique brand gives the ability to constantly display his paintings on clothing fabrics, using them as canvases, thus taking the work outside the walls of the studio and gallery. An approach to all activities like NFT art is the key to Alexis.
