Synthetic Organisms AR

Synthetic Organisms AR

Maša Jazbec

Birth of the Cyborg. On 12 stands placed in a circle, the visitor is faced with 12 graphics that illustrate the birth or the formation of synthetic organisms. All 12 graphics were created in collaboration with artificial intelligence. Based on the clavicles, the artificial intelligence generated a visual story of the creation of the synthetic organism. The visitor has the option to scan the graphics using the ARTIVIVE application with a tablet or smartphone. This is how he discovers the faces of the entities that helped to understand robots and other synthetic organisms. The expressions on the faces of these entities are animated or brought to life by artificial intelligence.

The key question that the Synthetic Organisms AR installation confronts us with is the following: what do we understand as life today? Different definitions fall away with scientific discoveries, they are replaced by new and new ones. The bio-entity, as the basic building block of all living things, is losing its meaning. It is replaced by a set of achievements of science, technological development, a simulator of reality into which we also project all our desires, longings and fears. Instead of questions about who we are and where we are going, the question arises as to who or what will succeed us.
