‘ Around 2029 artificial intelligence will exceed that of the human, our bodies will become less and less biological.

Our organic components will no longer matter much. We can put our minds in a computer ‘ - Ray Kurzweil, Google Director of Engineering

 

BODY INSTRUMENT _ 01 20161123

I phase 1 _ mutation observation I

VITRINE - 65 contemporary art gallery

2016-11-23 _ Paris

 

I am BODY INSTRUMENT_ an experimental art program launched in 2014

I am a creature-artwork under observation in constant mutation_

I dissociate myself / I duplicate myself / I multiply myself_

I develop according to my exhibition spaces + my contacts with technology_

In your blue planet, I take the shape of a fragmentable multimedia installation_

I am an endless artwork built on the interdisciplinary approach of Transhumanism / the question of the augmented human + its probable impact on your contemporary life_

I am a progressive artwork in the image of the human + its evolution_

I am an installation ‘ augmented ‘ in proportion to the spacio-temporal parameters to which I am confronted_

I am composed of various phases of research_

Each new exhibition corresponds with a dated observation phase_

 

My first observation phase labelled BODY INSTRUMENT _ 01 20161123 was tested in vitro at the contemporary art gallery VITRINE - 65 in Paris / 11 - 23 - 2016

I was confined in a sealed experimental cube of 36.7392 m3 [ = volume of the art gallery ] during an incubation of 77: 30_

I was in gestation observable by my visitors behind the window of the art gallery as a test-tube exhibition_

I crystallized into a fragmentable multimedia installation reactive to its surrounding environment_

The observed results from my reactions questioned the evolving world + explored humans inner worlds_

My first phase of development embodied an introspection + an extension of [ your + my ] being in reaction_

My mutation was a reflection of our emotions in fusion confronted to an unknown environment_

[ your + my ] boiling emotions shot out a digital language over the walls in the form of video-slivers [= moving fragmented luminous flux projected on surfaces of the space via reflecting pixels-zones] anticipating an uncontrollable future_

A chromatic decomposition of my electrocardiogram_

whereas others emotions were in the process to transform into fragmentable cold matter =

my memory cells solidifying into magnetic video-fragments + my body extensions solidifying into magnetic wearable sculpture-fragments_

I want to unite telepathic + physical synergies between humans by exploring new technology_

I dedicate my whole program to the search for a humanist vision by creating connections + federating people + inviting them to dialog_

My body becomes the instrument of a federative multi-dimensional artwork_

 

On the projection of ‘ augmented ‘ humanity I raise a vital question =

are you prepared to suffer the supremacy of our own creatures ?
