Umetno, naravno in ekosistem zaupanja
10. 4.−22. 6. 2025

Razstava Umetno, naravno in ekosistem zaupanja raziskuje aktualne tendence na presečišču umetnosti, znanosti in tehnologije v slovenskem prostoru. Osredotoča se na eno najbolj kompleksnih, inovativnih in vznemirljivih področij sodobnega ustvarjanja – raziskovalno umetnost in robotiko.

Danes, ko dosežki visokih tehnologij vse bolj brišejo meje med naravnim in umetnim ter nakazujejo korenito preoblikovano prihodnost, se hkrati soočamo z naraščajočo negotovostjo in strahom pred njihovo zlorabo. Izrazito poglabljanje in širjenje kriznih situacij, krhkost miru in norm, ki urejajo stabilnost, ter nedojemljiva prisotnost okrutnosti skupaj z vse večjo usmerjenosti v zgolj dobiček te dileme še zaostrujejo. Razstava se zato nasprotno, z osredotočanjem na koncept povezanosti, sodelovanja in sožitja med stroji, biološkim življenjem in neživo naravo, usmerja v zaupanje. Idejo sobivanja, ki temelji na partnerskem in etičnem odnosu ter dojema svet kot skupnostni prostor prepletenosti vsega obstoječega, zasleduje skozi sedem umetniških del. Večinoma gre za instalacije, ki so nastale v zadnjih petih letih ali njihove nadgradnje, medtem ko deli Gladina Boštjana in Luke Drinovca ter Več dela naj opravijo stroji Dominika Mahniča predstavljamo premierno. Štiri prostore Galerije sodobne umetnosti naseljujejo veter, bismutov kristal, robot, ki nanaša barve, algoritmi umetne inteligence, fotosimbiotski ploski morski črvi, android, mikro roboti, vietnamski paličnjaki, robot paličnjak, robotski ploter itn.

Razstavo odpiramo v mesecu aprilu, ki je s Festivalom robotike in umetne inteligence (https://www.tehnopark.si/Festival-robotike-ui/) v organizaciji Tehno parka Celje že drugo leto zapored v znamenju najnovejših tehnoloških dosežkov.

The Artificial, the Natural, and the Ecosystem of Trust
10. 4.−22. 6. 2025

Exhibition opening: Thursday, 10 April, at 7 p. m. in the Gallery of Contemporary Art.

The exhibition entitled The Artificial, the Natural, and the Ecosystem of Trust explores the current trends at the intersection of art, science and technology in Slovenia. It focuses on one of the most complex, innovative and exciting fields of contemporary creation – research-based art and robotics.

At a time when high-tech advances are increasingly blurring the boundaries between the natural and the artificial, and signalling a profoundly transformed future, we are also faced with growing uncertainty and fear of their misuse. The dramatic deepening and proliferation of crisis situations, the fragility of peace and the norms governing stability, and the unfathomable presence of cruelty, together with the increasing focus on nothing but profit, further exacerbate these dilemmas. This is why the exhibition, in contrast, by focusing on the concept of connectedness, cooperation and coexistence between machines, biological life and inanimate nature, centres on trust. The idea of coexistence, based on a partnership and ethical relationship and perceiving the world as a communal space of interconnectedness of all that exists, is explored in seven works of art. These are mostly installations created during the past five years or their upgrades, while the pieces Gladina by Boštjan and Luka Drinovec and Let the Machines Do More Work by Dominik Mahnič will be shown for the first time. The four exhibition spaces of the Gallery of Contemporary Art are inhabited by wind, a bismuth crystal, a paint-applying robot, artificial intelligence algorithms, photosymbiotic flatworms, an android, micro-robots, Vietnamese Annam walking stick insects, a stick insect robot, a robotic plotter, etc.

The exhibition opens in April, in parallel with the Festival of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence organised by Tehnopark Celje (https://www.tehnopark.si/en/), marking the second consecutive year that the month will be highlighted by the latest technological achievements.
