Scorpios, in collaboration with HOFA Gallery, introduces 'Evolving Perspectives' — the second summer arts program edition from the 'Encounters' series. The event will run from July 18 to September 18 across Mykonos and Bodrum. This nine-week series expands on last year's success.
'Evolving Perspectives' features AI and visual artists know for their groundbreaking fusion of art and technology like Joseph Klibansky, Random International, and Sougwen Chung. The 2023 edition drew significant acclaim and commercial success, attracting over half a million visitors and generating substantial artwork sales, notably Refik Anadol's collaboration that sold out within hours. This year’s program promises to further push boundaries, emphasizing AI's role in fostering a harmonious relationship between humanity and nature.
Joseph Klibansky headlines in Mykonos with his 'Tree of Life' collection, showcasing digital art intertwined with environmental themes. His works, including a large-scale video sculpture and 1,000 unique fine art prints, combine intricate patterns and vibrant colors inspired by nature. The work contributes to tree-planting efforts in the Amazon through One Tree Planted. In Bodrum, Random International presents 'When Tomorrow Comes,' an interactive digital sculpture employing custom tracking technology to engage viewers physically with a digital swarm. Sougwen Chung brings their AI-driven robotic system D.O.U.G. to Scorpios Bodrum, performing 'Genesis II: Body Machine,' which speculates on the future of robotic integration with human artistry.
