Alma Haser - Within 15 Minutes
Within 15 Minutes - The average time between twins when they are born
Alma Haser has always found identical twins fascinating, as do most people. It is the incredible realisation that there are two versions of the exact same person, hard to tell apart, unless they wear different clothes or hairstyles. They often finish each other's sentences, as they are one and the same person.
Monozygotic or identical twins occur when a single egg is fertilized to form one zygote which then divides into two separate embryos. Monozygotic twins are genetically almost identical. Identical twins do not have the same fingerprints because, even in the confines of the womb, the foetuses touch different parts of this environment, creating small variations in the same fingerprint and therefore making each of them unique.
Alma photographed sets of identical twins and made them into identical jigsaw pussies. She then swaps every other piece of their puzzles, completely mixing them half and half. Not always knowing where their eyes, mouths and lips would end up, the result is a pair of eerie, unrecognisable portraits. No longer seen as completely identical, they are unique.

Pixel Future by Eliska Kyselkova
Hunger magazine collaborated with digital artist Eliska Kyselkova to create a special editorial aptly titled "Pixel Future"
“Now it feels like your digital self is more important then the reality. Most of us spend the majority of the day checking our phones and laptops and this digital experience will get even more immersive with future developments of augmented and virtual reality. We’ve also seen the creation of robot Sophia by Hanson Robotics in 2015 – [the] first AI with more than 50 facial expressions – and the ability of recognising faces thanks to the computer algorithms. This connection to digital reality and modern progress was a big inspiration for me.”
Art of Olympia Antoniadis
Young Australian artist Olympia Antoniadis welcomes to her inner world. Voyeuristic and playful, Antoniadis allures the viewer into quiet spaces exploring the domestic territories of others. Her work is commonly based in the bedroom where one finds them self in a familiar space, intimate and calm expressing the most benign potential of human life.
Antoniadis' fixation with fabric lends itself to the moulding and fleshlike nature that envelops her subjects, softly building forms and provoking a playground of possibilities. Her paintings are often focused on the mundane where common occurrences are shifted and provoked by the figures that emerge.

A Digital Identity by Reed Griffith
"A Digital Identity" by Reed Griffith creates visualisation for the perception of our identities when filtered through the invisible walls of digital networks
"Our current society has evolved into an increasingly interconnected world through the 8.4 billion networked devices (as of 2017) that have become tools of survival in our modern lives. Personal data is constantly uploaded to these networks and a real-time stream of information and images that narrate our identities is available. The algorithms of these networks become filters for these narratives. altering the perception of our identities. The feedback, authentication, and traits of our identities within these digital networks have a very real influence on the psychological interpretation of ourselves. This alteration of our identities through networks is largely invisible, yet it creates very real barriers and conceptual walls, which we have to navigate in order to access. "
"By allowing viewers to see their own images which are uploaded to a transparent light panel through the internet, the algorithms and code contained in this work allows viewers to interact with algorithms in a transparent and visible way that is more akin the reality of the ways in which algorithms reorder and classify our identities without our knowledge. "
