”What would change if we knew we could live forever?
Skeuomorph is a new video installation that imagines a world in which humans have evolved to become immortal in a virtual world. Each video presents the thought patterns of the four characters which Pedro calls Tripplesapiens, as they attempt to make sense of their own ethical resolves. Pedro calls us to reflect on the fact that in many ways we will continue to live on forever, as we have uploaded so much of our identities into the virtual.”
Pedro Moreira is a contemporary artist who is creating work of utopian future and cyborgism
Realised mostly in cinema 4D play with bright colour and super human qualities. His aesthetic is very much about how humans could look like in the future
he is creating a models to show his design both clothes and body.
I found it very interesting at the moment. Because he is not well known artist and mostly his shows are not even well known, but i believe that this type of art/aesthetics are growing and really changing how we are using our imagination.
Exhibition in peckham ‘Skeuomorph’ 2019
”Skeuomorph is the second part of Pedro Moreira’s series ‘The Tripplesapiens’, an ongoing work that analyses virtual landscapes of 3D generated videogames as a form Utopia. Inspired by the artist’s idea of ‘heaven’, instilled by their Mormon upbringing, the world of the Tripplesapiens is one inwhich humans have evolved, through a techno-biological process similar to that of imago (found in metamorphosing insects), into a state of immortality, where time is spent improving individual skill sets and learning more about new and past worlds.”
The exhibition is displayed in picnic gallery in peckham centre, i have never seen gallery like this because it is an actual display. In very urban settings as pound shops and etc. so i was a little amazed how it is desplayed. However i found it very fitting to this particular exhibition because it is diplayed in human-routine settings and there is juxtaposition of future and present. Clean and dirty. Computerized and alive.
I feel that it is amazing.
So the exhibition itself is video clips and some installations, its very simple but knowing artist aesthetics and style it makes a lot of sense. how he is romanticising the future and cyborgs as well as humans.
The moving image is interactive, so it is reacting to audience movements as well.
This exhibition was my one to go for couple of weeks now, and i can say that i am happy i went, even tho i was expecting totally different spatial display it was even better at it is, so i guess the choice of picnic gallery was well thought because of it’s location and vibrant life there.
i saw how people are walking past the display and looking at it seems that they don’t understand what is this for, so i would say this exhibition is also very disturbing some of the passing by people. But i do think it’s well thought and presented.
