August Otherness
The Grecian terrain stands adorned with unadorned contours, stark crags, and seemingly desiccated arboreal forms. Reclining upon the sandy shore each eve, gazing upon the crystalline expanse above, meandering amidst the bioluminescent embrace of the sea, one discerns that this ecosystem courses with vitality. A manner of vitality that is unobtrusive, self-sustaining, cloaked within apparent simplicity, yet perennially extant. This divergence imbues our summer reveries, intertwines with our narratives, and resides in ceaseless oblation unto thou.
About Aias Kokkalis
Aias Kokkalis' artistic practice emerges at the intersection of biology, ecology, machinery, and the post-Vitruvian concept of the human being. His visual creations find their theoretical underpinnings in the works of esteemed scholars such as Donna Haraway, Rosi Braidotti, and Gilles Deleuze.
His portfolio includes notable collaborations with renowned companies like Nike, Adidas, Netflix, L'Oreal NYX, Volvo, and Mercedes Benz, as well as partnerships with esteemed artists like Grimes, Curry Tian, Deftones, Sofia Sarri, and Natalia Manda. With an academic background encompassing Fine Arts, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Computational Graphics, and Architecture, Aias specializes in crafting lifelike simulations and 3D visualizations to initiate a profound discourse on non-human and posthuman perspectives. By delving into these unfamiliar yet intimate realms, the viewer is prompted to reevaluate fundamental questions surrounding the definition of "human" and the implications of such a definition for non-human others.
