HIGH MESHES
In the age of reification, we question the organisational models of digital communities and societies.
Borders, sexual, religious, ethical and moral identities are being updated across the board. The displacement of religion in favour of science and the emergence of artificial intelligence are defining new sociological and administrative models that have no precedent.
Now, we need new metaphors to create communities, to live in harmony and to be part of the same ecosystem where what is important is not what we represent, but who we are.
Description
This artwork involves creating a micro-community of real individuals scanned in 3D using photogrammetry. This data forms a database that fuels artificial intelligence software, bringing together bodies based solely on numerical information, irrespective of racial, sexual, religious, political, or cultural distinctions.
The production of HIGH MESHES unfolds in two stages. Initially, a monumental installation endeavors to photograph naked, consenting subjects, symbolizing collective intimacy and digital genesis. This installation, resembling a cocoon in organic hues, encourages viewers to imprint the contours of their bodies. Through the assembly of these individuals, whose differences take on a trigonometric significance, Solimán López proceeds to craft new forms with AI, illustrating the potential for a discrimination-free world.
López’s utopian communities, comprising over 150,000,000 polygons, are showcased from various perspectives. These new geometric shapes, devoid of inherent essence, challenge the exhibition of novel beings in history. As viewers physically navigate around and within the material, they may adopt various roles: voyeur, witness, or even the eccentric scientist in a virtual laboratory. The piece High Meshes offers a poetic journey into Virtual Reality, 3D renderings, impressions, augmented reality, or immersive installations.
HIGH MESHES V.1 METAVERSE BODIES
High meshes is a serie of texture from human data. The artist playing with the limit of those littles triangles, how the information contained in each mesh transforms, adapts to generate other bodies.
