Contemporary endeavors to understand the world often incorporate in itself the approach from the hard sciences, especially quantum mechanics. This refers to humanities and to fine arts too, where the questions on the nature of the world, on possible forms of its perception, and the desirable or not interactions are deliberated. The thought and artistic experiments and research are therefore diving into the questions on the ontology and phenomenology of the augmented object, and on the possible forms of embodiment in hybrid environments, that is environments connecting physical and digital levels of reality in various proportions.
The collective exhibition curated by Łukaszewicz uses artwork to stimulate reflection on the mathematical structure of the universe that is essentially connected with characteristics of the electronic layers of the artworks. It inscribes itself into the path of thinking present in pre-Socratic ancient Greece, in Renaissance in Italy, especially in Florence, until the research within the field of Art&Science. However, it rather focuses on the various aesthetic experiences that might be evoked by the art that is technologically defined.
