Transforms in mysterious ways

Curated by Olga Papadopoulou & Gioula Papadopoulou

How is human experience, memory and being transformed through contemporary digital tools and their infinite branching pathways across virtual highways? Is there an “actual” and a “virtual” reality, or are these simply different aspects of the same universal continuum—an imaginary space whose subtle connections shape the flows of individual and collective memory, imagination, and perception?

The works presented in this screening program make use of algorithmic tools and artificial intelligence for digital intervention on the image, distorting and transforming reality, diving into a kind of digital collective unconscious in an endless search for a primordial truth of existence.
