EXPEDITION INTO POSTHUMAN BEING The exhibition features two series of artworks by Lilia Li-Mi-Yan exploring posthumanism.

King Midas is well known in Greek mythology for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold. This came to be called the golden touch or the Midas touch.

The 'Digital ball' collection draws inspiration from ancient oriental carpets, a significant aspect of GamaEl's cultural heritage.

A short video by artists Lilia Li-Mi-Yan and Katherina Sadovsky is presented in a special online screening at IOGINALITY. The soundtrack of the original artwork is presented as a separate artwork.

What does "digital identity" mean? The pioneers of the Internet age supposed that the web is a playground for identity construction, that we can reimagine our social body by switching avatars and nicknames. Further identity verification technologies in web 2.0 have evolved rapidly. We need to verify market transactions, fact check, find reliable experts and be responsible for our digital footprint. Does it make us less changeable? Vice versa. Web 3.0 is the space of liquid identity, resistance, drag, dynamic impression and transformation. The works of Aristarkh present a procession of metamorphosis, the digital dream of Arcimboldo. Here the fecundity of image reproduction – the artist worked with Stable Diffusion technology – also casts the shadows of doubt. Is it true that a change of decor, feathers or a shiny wrapper, shakes the well-established symbolic content? We can only answer by observing the fluidity, by changing ourselves.

Dreamscapes exhibition opens the IOGINALITY program, exploring the convergence of architectural and digital spaces.
