Hal Matsuda

Binary oppositions such as real and virtual, AI and human are converted into matter through mediums such as painting and sculpture. The evolution of human technology and science may expand our imagination. However, our bodies have not changed from the bodies of hunter-gatherers from tens of thousands of years ago. We now use smartphones as a matter of course, and we can easily share many images and information. That device, like our skin, feels as if it has always existed. Our desires promoted the development of reproduction technology. However, when those desires manifest in a different form, transcending the violence born from desire, we will return to universality as biological beings.
