How do the natural and digital worlds overlap?
The world is constantly seeking to transform what is alive into pixels, creating expansive digital universes. Materialising the digital realm and connecting physically to memory, step through four vibrant visual worlds and delve into the potential of artistic imagination as a path to healing and resistance. Through her residency at CERN, Patricia seeks to draw connections between the invisible universe of particle physics and the higher realm of spirituality. Move beyond time and space and explore nature and ancient spiritual practices as a medium to resist the relentless digital interference and commodification of the modern world.
Where do you connect to earth?
Patricia Domínguez is an artist and organic technologist. Her work focuses on tracing digital and spiritual relationships between living species in an increasingly corporate cosmos. Through a wide variety of media, Domínguez draws upon new myths, rituals and healing practices, combining artistic imagination with experimental research on ethnobotany and extractivism.
