The curated selection of Aaron Huey's latest photographic series as NFTs was born out of a National Geographic magazine assignment, where Aaron Huey explores the far edges of virtual worlds, bringing back photographs made with virtual cameras. Aaron Huye has created over 30 stories for National Geographic magazines including several cover stories.
Besides Huey’s works, Kate Vass Galerie presents the Neural Zoo series by Sofia Crespo. Sofia has a huge interest in biology-inspired technologies. One of her main focuses is the way organic life uses artificial mechanisms to simulate itself and evolve, implying the idea that technologies are a biased product of the organic life that created them and not a completely separated object. The Neural Zoo series resemble an imagined nature that has been rearranged. Our visual cortex recognizes the textures, but the brain is simultaneously aware that those elements don't belong to any arrangement of reality that it has access to. Computer vision and machine learning could offer a bridge between us and speculative "natures" that can only be accessed through high levels of parallel computation.
Sofia Crespo's Neural Zoo series can be found HERE!
Works by Entangled Others Studio (Sofia Crespo & Feileacan McCormick) can be found HERE!
