“PEACEFUL JOURNEY THROUGH THE IMAGININGS OF A NEURAL NETWORK”
“With Nature Portals, I wanted to create a peaceful and immersive journey through the imaginings of a neural network. This series explores the implications of a world where nature and technology have become so intertwined that it questions the fundamental difference between the artificial and the natural,” says Markos Kay.
Kay creates his art with everything from moving images to painting and printmaking. The themes he explores revolve around such concepts as emergence, evolution, complexity and artificial life. His work has been shown in museums around the world, most recently in the Latent Spaces exhibition at Illusionaries in London.
Kay says that he does not see art and science as distinct disciplines but rather closely intertwined and constantly shaping each other.
“LIKE STEPPING STRAIGHT INTO A STORYBOOK”
“It is an incredibly colorful and unique experience to be in the wondrous world of Markos Kay. In this dreamlike place, your imagination is set free, creating a landscape with the most exciting creatures. Here, young and old alike can enjoy a place that is like stepping straight into a storybook with mysterious animals, vegetation and music,” says Lisa Hydén, Director of Exhibitions at Fotografiska Stockholm.
Markos Kay is a contemporary artist and designer known for his digital art and exploration of complex scientific and philosophical themes. This summer he is exhibiting his work Nature Portals at Fotografiska, which explores the intersection of art, technology, and science.
