Blas’s residency project in the framework of project Beyond Matter looks at aspects of religion that are uncannily mirrored in contemporary cultures of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In his talk, Blas will focus on recent projects that explore AI and religion through emotional crying: the web-based work 576 Tears (2022), commissioned by UP Projects for This is Public Space, and the immersive installation Profundior (Lachryphagic Transmutation Deus-Motus-Data Network) (2022), currently on view at the 12th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art.
