Berlin-based speculative artist Mathias Vef wants viewers to get lost in his collaged \u201cdigital ecosystems.\u201d \u00a0\u201cThe process of the creation of an image is then again opposing the process of evolution, which is an emergence out of coincidence,\u201d says Vef. This opposition, he adds, is why he decided to name the show\u00a0Syncretics<\/em>. In this series, images that are named Scion<\/em>\u00a0are made out of a single original motif that is repeated\u00a0and images called Amphigony<\/em>, a biological term for sexual reproduction, combines different Scion<\/em>\u00a0pieces.\u00a0Combining all of these, and seeing which new visuals emerge is like a \u201csurvival of the aesthetics,\u201d Vef describes.\u00a0Attendees are reminded of the \u201cvisual infection\u201d our reality is facing, from the onslaught of wearable technologies such as Google Glass, Oculus Rift, and more on the horizon. The future, he predicts, will split creation in two paths: one that emerges from a genuine, conscious source, and another that\u2019s a wild, untameable growth\u2014much like the visuals he brings to life.\u00a0(source<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
