ART MARKET: Semi-allogeneic Island

Cg Video and Sound, 1'12'', 4K, 2023

In an island featuring 3D hybrid beings produced in collaboration with artificial intelligence, the video presents an autonomous production space as offered by the screen, within a dynamic and continually evolving ecosystem. This space, provided by the computer, appears in the work as a bio-graphic area, exploring forms of post-natural life therein. The beings found on the 'Semi-Allogeneic Island' arise from a blend of biological and technological elements, at the blurred boundaries of the organic and inorganic, aiming to establish a new concept of 'creature.' Here, the creature is seen not as a limitation of life opposite to death, but rather as a threat of deformation or deficiency coming from within; while death is an external threat, the creature is an internal one.

The creature is not a simple being of diminished value, but rather an entity whose value emerges as a contrast. It shows how fragile the stability of life we are accustomed to actually is, and stands on the negative side of issues like species-specific reproduction, morphological regularity, and structural success. At the same time, it emerges as a counterstance in the pursuit of preserving the myth and integrity of the 'normal human.
