"𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓞𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓡𝓮𝓪𝓵"
✦ "𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓞𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓡𝓮𝓪𝓵" is an ongoing experimental series that utilizes AI generative techniques, based on my original drawings, 3D compositions crafted in Blender and Unity3D, and photos taken from VRChat events. Within this series, I place particular emphasis on dispersed and concentrated sculptural elements, which I refer to as Proto-Machines. These elements can only be fully developed in a virtual reality setting due to their material, extent, and imagined size and impact in gallery and installation environments.
"The Other Real" embraces all glitches of the current state of the AI development and its capabilities and plays with the notions of glitchy reality merging and unfolding its layers. Within this series, I place particular emphasis on dispersed and concentrated sculptural elements, which I refer to as Proto-Machines. These elements can only be fully developed in a virtual reality setting due to their material, extent, and imagined size and impact in gallery and installation environments.
Proto-machines can also be understood as universal toys, inspired by Karel Čapek's R.U.R., an iconic concept concerning robotic sentient creatures. In today's world, we are increasingly astonished, perplexed, and even worried about the future of AI, as we slowly integrate advanced technologies into our daily lives. Whether openly used or hidden within intricate black boxes of software, many of these processes remain opaque to the average person. Inspired by the ubiquitous assistance provided by household appliances and devices, all of the Proto-Machines hypothetically and imaginatively gain sentience in the art world. They become an integral part of a fairy tale of the AvantGarden, an ongoing narrative exploring humanism, spirituality, technology, natural resources, raw nature, and the symbolism derived from our interaction with it. Proso-Machines become our companions, protectors, and counselors, offering comfort and guidance.
In a world where we spend most of our lives in synthetic environments, and in our quest for more meaningful interaction within the Noosphere, we may immerse ourselves in the spaces of the AvantGarden to think and coexist with the Proto-Machines. These entities aid us in thinking, experiencing intense emotions, relaxing, and meditating, providing support that we have only dreamed of as sensual sentient beings from our imagination or some imaginary other planet. They are amalgams of non-organic, organic, and machinic parts, synthetic machines designed to enhance our well-being and understanding of their intrinsic nature. They are a part of us, our knowledge and data, an extension of nature and the Noosphere, emerging from Earth, Sky, and Waters.

AvantGarden Update
AvantGarden Update:
1. Exciting news! The Sphere21 virtual reality art installation is officially out of its testing phase, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. Starting with the initial "seeds" from past spheres, I've focused on the iconic, mythological, and symbolic impact of non-human characters and imprints of entities on digital matter. We've got friends, guardians, gargoyles, and pets all here to protect and assist us. Don't forget to check out my latest VR DJ techno set from the AvantGarden!
2. I'm happy to invite you to join me on March 2nd at NOISE=NOISE | NNNNN X TELEGRAFIA, London, to explore my Noise Flowers and enjoy sound art works and performances from other talented artists.
3. After almost a year, I've dabbled again in creating camera filters, translating ideas from the AvantGarden worlds to augmented reality lenses and effects. Huge thanks to everyone who created videos with my new camera effects on TikTok and lenses for Snapchat. You can find all the links to individual filters here. Grateful for your support!
