In the last year, I dedicated intensive work to comprehensive professional development within the KPO – National Recovery and Resilience Plan scholarship project “Hybrid Compositions. Upcycling in Technological Fusion.”
The project Hybrid Compositions. Upcycling in Technological Fusion is an interdisciplinary artistic undertaking that explores transhumanism, ecology, and information toxicity through the integration of upcycling, advanced technologies (artificial intelligence [AI], 3D printing, 3D computer animation) and new synthetic materials for modeling (silicons, resins, UV-curing masses) used within traditional artistic media (painting, sculpture, drawing).
The project fits into the paradigms of hybrid and postmedial art, reflecting the complexity of the Anthropocene era, fluid posthuman identity, and global information networks. Its goal is, through the artist’s acquisition of new digital competencies in the course of work, to create three-dimensional, abstract works that engage recipients in a transmedial narrative, requiring active reconstruction of meanings, which counters passive consumption of culture and disinformation. Its goal was to create works that are a technological fusion, referring to traditional and latest media (AI), also integrating upcycled materials.
A large part of the project, requiring in-depth research, was updating knowledge spiked with shot. My first object created in a hybrid technique combining 3D modeling, 3D printing, and sculptural techniques working with resins, glasswork techniques.
In turn, the cycle “Merkury i Krew Rh-” composed of digital images and short animated forms is the best illustration of the progress I made in the last year. The first animation of individual images is still flat 2D, while this year’s work is a truly 3D animation done at a pace that is only possible through collaboration with AI.
The “Hybrid Compositions” project has become a platform for building subsequent postmedial art projects such as the personal Avatar Agent AI project. The presentations I participated in last year mainly concerned summarizing and affirming my earlier avant-garde achievements in digital art (listed in the next point).
