I Am In a New Now
The exhibition of Isidore Fićović ”I am in a New Now”, lasted until September 8, 2023 in SULUV Gallery in Novi Sad. The exhibition is realized through the Exchange and Cooperation Program: Connect, Mark, SULUV 2023. It represents the process of rethinking the relationship between past – present – future , through the EYE of the present moment reflecting key sentences: “the spirit spreads like the light of thought” and “if you don’t say what you feel, you will stay without the heart.”
“I am in a New Now” questions what is that which makes a difference and stands between two worlds, between warm and cold, in the age of artificial intelligence and contemporary way of creating a new reality.
For Isidora,
Upon her exhibition in Novi Sad.
Is it a fight or a pact between machines and humanity? While we are dreaming about the future, does the future dream about us too? Are the macchines turning into us or we are the ones who are turning into robot?
I “feel” like I am in a simulation sometimes. When I wake up, it feels like a new stage of the game has started. I check my phone where I dive into another World. An artificial World where everyone is happy, rich, perfect and glamorous. The more we lose in real World ,the more we gain in cyber World. As long as we leave our pyshical World hungry, our persona is being fed. We turn off our feelings as soon as we turn our mobile phones off. When was the last time you really interact with the World outside? Listened to the birds’ chirping, watched a blue sky without recording it? What was the last time that you danced like noone is watching?
Once, I read about “Quantum Zeno Effect”, which describes the situation that an unstable particle, if observed continuously, will never decay. It can be interpreted as “ a system can not change while you are observing/watching it.” So, are we also can not change under the surveillance?
Today, machines can do many things from translation to content wrtiing. Even they can flirt with you. But, do they dream about you? How many gigahertz heartbeat is needed them to love you? Will your hearts be aligned in the same frequency while watching the sunset together?
And what about ethics?
