“Have you ever browsed some internet forums and heard some teeny kids from the west how Slavs have no culture? Well after this amazing photo shoot their mouths will be closed for good, Slavic fusion in a series ‘Pagan Poetry’ made by Polish photographer Macin Nagraba and all costumes made by Agnieszka Osipa. The model is the photographer’s mother and by all means having a ‘babushka’ in this photo shoot just gives even more Slavic feel to it”.

“Artificial Intelligence – Das andere Ich / The Other I” – Ars Electronica Festival 2017 #AI [#geekgirl]

AI-ARSELECTRONICA

September 7-11, POSTCITY Linz

“Artificial Intelligence – Das andere Ich / The Other I” is the theme of the 2017 Ars Electronica Festival. AE will be focusing their attention beyond the technological and economic horizon to scrutinize cultural, psychological, philosophical and spiritual aspects. From the perspective of a festival dedicated to art, technology and society, Ars Electronica is interested above all in the visions, expectations and fears that they associate with the conception of a future, all-encompassing artificial intelligence.

New #Alchemists #art and #science collide [#geekgirl]

Lu Yang

New Alchemists comprises a diverse suite of works by Australian and International artists exploring ideas of futuristic biologies and post-human engagements within the broad intersections of art and science.

Paralleling a view of the artist as contemporary alchemist, the selected works channel experiences beyond our accessible human and non-human worlds. Through play, ambiguity and provocation, the works engage in narratives that collapse our sense of familiarity and embodied otherness with the world around us.

Art Orienté Objet (France); Michaela Gleave (Australia); Ian Haig (Australia); Oron Catts & Ionat Zurr (Australia); Nadege Philippe-Janon (Australia); Thomas Thwaites (UK) and Lu Yang (China).

This image is taken from Lu Yang’s video in which she created a digital non-sexual human simulation in her own image. Lu Yang Delusional Mandala is all about neuroscience, a continuing area of interest for the artist. Yang makes use of the principle of the stereotactic system, deep brain stimulation and Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (RTMS) to the deep limbic system in order to extend delusions, substituting religious perspective and fugacious meditation on the material world to produce ‘objective’ delusions.
