“It’s not about the advanced technical challenges. It’s more about letting the film influence the final artistic result of the picture. I focus on narrative photography, which is a metaphor that tells about human beings. Thus a human being is the main subject of my photos”

Opening The Future by Joanna Grochowska
DEAD ARE ALL GODS: NOW WE DESIRE THE POST-HUMAN TO LIVE
Joanna Grochowska is a contemporary artist exploring trans-humanism and human enhancement technologies.
Her work contributes to the dialogue about morphological freedom and the future.
The conceptual basis of her art are the notions of Transgression and Singularity.
An artist defines herself as a Project.
Opening the Future constitutes an immensely powerful and sophisticated body of work, which pursues the aim of exploring new post-human figurativeness. The dominant theme addresses the subject of transgressive corporality and encompasses the contexts of future, morphological freedom and human enhancement technologies.
The logical and inevitable progress of technology evolution implies the emergence of new paradigms of gender, body and identity. The body becomes a symptom of the unnatural, edited and superior life form, posing a question of the possible shift of ethical lines and a change in definition of what is human.
Opening the Future extends the discourse of the Post Human, a visionary series of exhibitions curated by Jeffrey Deitch in 1992, which manifested the embrace of artificiality and projected the role of artists beyond redefining art; towards redefining life. The work of Joanna Grochowska integrates with the concepts of human enhancement technologies, the ideas of Elon Musk, Raymond Kurzweil and Jennifer Doudna, awarded the Nobel Prize for the development of a revolutionary genome editing method; seeking the new aesthetics of the future.
The exhibition Opening the Future is presented at the Størpunkt Gallery Munich; on view until August 7, 2021 every Thursday to Saturday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The general corona rules apply.

Weronika Kuc illustrations
“Weronika Kuc is a Warsaw-based illustrator and graphic designer mixing digital and traditional drawing techniques. She compensates her flair for minimalism with bold splashes of color, adding a metaphorical quality to each of her works.”
“Zooming of female figures and their attributes, Kuc investigates human sensitivity with simple brushstrokes while her distorted heroines contest society’s beauty norms. Having worked with titles such as ELLE and Glamour, the artist reaches beyond classical mediums and zooms on the most subtle of feelings.”

Panelki
Panelki by Zupagrafika (previously known by Brutal London project) allows readers to assemble a genuine Soviet-era prefab block, panel by panel, while learning about the history of prefabricated construction systems commonly used behind the Iron Curtain.
Plattenbau, Panelák, Wielka Płyta, Panelky, Panelház or Панельки: Prefabricated panel blocks go by different names around the former Eastern Bloc, but no matter where they were built, their goal was always the same: to provide homes for expanding city populations after World War II.
Metamorphosis by Cityabyss
Graphic designer from Poland, Beata Szczecinska aka Cityabyss (you may know from our @Digital.Decade platform) releasing her ongoing project Metamorphosis
“Perception of the metamorphosis process of two systems, where one of them is dispersed in the other. Permeation, degrees of dispersion, fragmentation, liquidity - constansy, foginess and boundaries.”
“Metamorphosis of the system culture vs. nature is a phenomenon that has no permanent shape, evolving, with no expressive outlines, connected with changing roles, dominating one over the other, also the influence of foreign factors. The assumption that the transition must be organic is perceived as erroneous in the congitive functioning of the brain.”

hash2ash - everything saved will be lost
“We don’t want our digital lives to fade away. If we want to preserve them, we need to make sure that the digital objects we create today can still be rendered far into the future”
hash2ash
Interactive installation for National Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw created by panGenerator as a part of TEEN AGE exhibition. Installation tuches on the themes of selfie-culture, and the fear of permanently losing the digital records of our lives due to technical failures, impermanence of data storage, or simply because of the obsolescence of the old digital file formats. Even with such compulsive overproduction of the images of ourselves we might end up with nothing but the blank memories of our past. Even the data on ourselves will eventually fade away…
The installation consist of the display that prompts you to take a selfie on your phone, which it renders in digital particles on its large 1x1 meter screen. Then a moment later, your face scatters and falls apart and the real black gravel starts to fall at the bottom of the screen in perfect synchrony with the digital simulation. Gradually a dark mound builds up at the foot of the construction
