How to lose control, Silence… | 2018
An avatar responds to Audre Lorde’s writings on Silence. After my father’s death I spent one year posting selfies on a special account. In the process I discovered an app which allowed me to turn the selfies into avatars and speak into them as a form of journaling. This was the beginning of a difficult and enlightening mourning process, which has seeped into all of my work. At its core is a kind of play and relationship to language which brings me back to the radical joy which has allowed me to survive many things in my life. Follow the link to my website, it's the first video bellow. ARTIST BIO I am a multi-disciplinary artist living in Brooklyn, NY originally from Iran. I work within the axis of healing as a space for multiplying meaning through translation and embodiment. Thinking through object-oriented feminism and time-based art, I am concerned with decoding social norms and cultural intersections through radical humor. Writing is at the core of my practice as is the poetics of place. I am an immigrant refugee of the Iran/Iraq War and much of my work is concerned with the radical joy that is at the core of mourning. There are those that have referred to my practice as that of a death doula.

Cybernetic Skins | 2023
"Cybernetic Skins" delves into the liminal space between the organic and the synthetic. It is my vision of post-human bodies, imagined using A.I.. Rooted in the premise that humanity is not a static entity but rather an ever-evolving construct, this project captures the transformative essence of our relationship with technology. As we advance, so does the boundary between our flesh and the realm of digital. The piece envisions a future where our very skin intertwines with cables and conduits, carrying not just blood but bytes, bridging the divide between biology and data, garments of tangled cables, body seamlessly transitioning into fashioned adornment. This is not just a melding of man with machine but a profound metamorphosis, resulting in an entity that is both and neither. The digital landscape featured is not merely a backdrop but a character in itself. Visually concepted with the use of A.I., it reflects a world we have birthed but perhaps not fully comprehended. Through the fluidity of 3D animation, viewers are taken on a journey where every pixel, every digital sinew, challenges conventional definitions of life, identity, and existence. Yet, it's not just the content but the mode of presentation that amplifies this message. By projecting this video onto a free-standing screen installation, I bridge the digital-physical dichotomy, translating virtual realms into tangible experiences. This is no mere screen, but a portal—inviting viewers to step through, to momentarily inhabit my cybernetic world, feeling the blurring boundaries and sensing the future's resonance. "Cybernetic Skins" is more than a visual experience; it is a philosophical exploration of our potential futures, a testament to the malleability of human nature, and a reflection on the boundless possibilities that arise when we become one with the very tools we create.

Zander Porter (ザンダー・ポーター) is an artist from Los Angeles, based primarily in Berlin. Working between liveness and onlineness, ze interpolates (dis)identification and (dis)embodiment as phenomenological inquiries between surface, soma, portal, and psyche. Zander’s practices negotiate attention, gender, affect, subjectivity, and role play through an approach to internet semiotics, hormonal technologies, and surveillance paradigms with a mixture of curiosity, reverence, and skepticism. Ze articulates byproducts (performativities) of this negotiation as (technogenetic) matrices of queerer relationality.

Only Cloud Knows | 2022-2023
Only Cloud Knows is a Chrome extension that performs art recognition on images, as perceived through the lens of Google Cloud Vision AI, manifesting how this emerging regime attempts to capture the incalculable, incomparable, and unknown in computationally legible form—the confidence labels returned from the Vision API overlay the images as each page loads. By navigating within machine intelligence's wrong-headed perceptions, Only Cloud Knows invites users to consider the limits of this data-centric worldview: What lies beneath its threshold of recognizability? What is excluded from future possibilities? With this project, I aim to mirror how faith in the technical sightline has clouded our vision and to uncover how accelerating cognitive automation has surreptitiously short-circuited our sensory-noetic loop.
The ubiquitous cloud-shaped icon on our screens encapsulates an infinitely complex system of networks comprised of servers, routers, fiber-optic cables, data centers, and satellites, encircling the entire planet. This digital and physical infrastructure generates, aggregates, stores, transmits, and processes massive amounts of data, providing a "natural" environment for developing artificial intelligence systems at scale. Machine learning instruments deployed to the cloud enhance their capacities via giant datasets, becoming the engine of improvement in cloud-based technology's overall efficiency and effectiveness. The amalgamation of cloud computing with artificial intelligence is termed "the intelligent cloud," hegemonically controlled by a handful of leading technology corporations, and capable of inscribing more and more aspects of the world into the computational body, based on one implicit assumption: that the world is reducible to data that can be objectively analyzed and perfectly modeled.

Searching For The Place The Eyes Cant't See | 2021
Art’s many different languages all have the same goal: to transform what happens in the moment into something permanent. To create a foundation, a basis, for the order of things. As a kind of answer, which we seldom notice in nature. What I am trying to do is to leave my mark behind. I am here, I fail, I am happy, I am sad. I have fears and am full of hope. I have an idea, I pursue it and that’s why I’m working. Ultimately, I am not interested in things I fully understand. Knowing one has happened upon the right things is more important than understanding them. There are truths that lie beneath the surface of the images, truths that only reveal themselves sporadically, like the Northern Lights in a winter sky. Things we don’t feel, we forget. Through my work I would like to create moments in time in which our imagination overlaps reality. These are the moments in which we are alive.Searching For The Place The Eyes
ARTIST BIO
In my work I am not necessarily concerned with change, but rather with the act of preserving - with the practice of looking beneath the surface to what is inside of things, perhaps even probing into unsolvable mysteries.

Dolphin III (From the series “A Gesture for a Mammal”) | 2023
“A Gesture for a Mammal” 2023, recent artworks, In the broader context of the art world, AI-generated art raises discussions about the nature of creativity. By utilizing AI to depict mammals in over-tourism scenarios, these artworks serve as a poignant reminder of the fragility of our planet's ecosystems and the urgent need for environmental stewardship. These AI-generated clips of mammals in over-tourism scenes concerning climate issues may be visually captivating due to their novelty, surprisingness, complexity, and ambiguity. These clips challenge conventional notions of art creation, blurring the lines between human intention and machine-generated results. The deformation of mammal depictions in these AI artworks may evoke references to Francis Bacon's deformed portraits but with a fundamental distinction: the deformations in AI art are not intentional expressions by the artist or the machine but rather a result of the machine's inability to imitate human representations perfectly.

Invisible Cities | 2020
Les Villes Invisibles is an artistic installation around the theme of memory. More specifically, this piece investigates the notions of emptiness and absence in the shared social space the city represents. This piece is a personal testimony, echoing the work Le Città Invisibili by writer Italo Calvino, published in Turin in 1972. Les Villes Invisibles portrays the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, built in the 12th century. With a surface area of 6,000 m2 and a height of 70m, the monument designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, testifies of a genuine technological achievement by the architects of the Middle Ages. On 15 April 2019, a violent fire destroyed the spire and the entire roof protecting the nave, choir and transept of the gothic edifice. As in the eponymous book, Les Villes Invisibles sets out a space where the visitor can "enter, walk around, perhaps get lost, but where, at one time or another, he must find a way out, or even several ways out". "The over-city crisis is the other side of the nature crisis". Italo Calvino Les Villes Invisibles draws on imaginary continents and brings back to the centre of the game, issues raised by techniques like photogrammetry (notably developing in cartography and archeology disciplines) that wonder over man's status in modern cities, as a place of history and desire. Photogrammetry combines a set of techniques used to determine the shape, dimensions and spatial position of an object from a corpus of photographs. This process includes a phase of photographic recording of the perspectives and a phase of rendering, to produce a 3D model. This technique queries our perception of reality, its recording at a given time (before or after a disaster) and its scientific accuracy (the large amount of data required...). Finally, the narrative presented through Les Villes Invisibles confronts this capture of reality with its perception, especially through the time passing by and the bias of our senses (omniscient vision, feeling of ubiquity). The paper drawings fix in time this perception of the site.
ARTIST BIO
Using new media, Béatrice Lartigue creates installations which explore our perceptions of space and sound. These pieces, in which the visitor becomes an actor, provoke a loss of bearings and offer a sensitive interpretation of impalpable phenomena by giving them a materiality, as through light and sound beams in space (Passifolia, 2020), the force of the wind on the landscape (Nebula, 2018), or the unfold of a music score in volume (Portée/, 2014).

Elusive beauty | 2023
“Elusive beauty”. 3D motion graphics. 00.41 sec. Sound by Dario Duarte. 2023 Swimming in shallow water, it is impossible to see all the beauties hidden in the depths of the grand universal ocean. It is impossible to fully appreciate the strength and richness of the entire spectrum of light and sound waves that fill it, innumerable forms of life vibrating with consciousness, the flourishing diversity of emotions and embodied experiences that are just reflections - reflections of real feelings hidden under the deep pressure of the dark. Only by diving deeper and deeper can one find that special moment that slips away in everyday life - the moment of true BEAUTY.

Skinless body of dreams | 2021
The work considers issues of associative thinking, relationship between images and text and our perception of them through the prism of our own experience, as well as freezing of certain details and situations built on these details in our memory. Within our memories some objects that individually mean nothing, together form various narratives, transmit sensations and form our perception of time at that moment. it resembles a state of sleep where we travel through space, where objects are in a muddy fluid, touching each other a bit and getting stuck inside it but do not disappear completely. they are existing in a certain form of relationship with each other, forming situations that become a field of birth of the affects. at the same time more tangible and visible processes are taking place in different dimension. so, in the era of endless circulation of images and visuals in general, text that coexists with them is able to generate a certain meaning in accordance with the represented object, limit our imagination and evoke very specific associations. on the other hand, the use of text subtitles helps us to feel more emotions, express the atmosphere and broadcast a certain dimension of imaginary space. both text and images can be subconsciously linked to the life stage of the viewer, his vision of the world, which is constructed from many internal, hidden elements. thus, what is depicted acts as a vector for the thoughts movements, and the text frees us from overwhelming amount of interpretations, but regardless of this, when the viewer reads the work, he first of all reads inner self.
