Latent Spaces (Mar) Tickets
Illusionaries Proudly Presents:
'Latent Spaces', created by Markos Kay. This unparalleled immersive experience, presented by Illusionaries, is an embodiment of the fusion between art and technology. Markos Kay, with his extensive background in digital art spanning nearly two decades, harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to present art in a manner never seen before. Through his complex multi-layered process, Kay seamlessly blends thousands of rough compositions, creating a symphony of visuals that are both compelling and evocative.The journey through "Latent Spaces" offers visitors a passage through four meticulously designed spaces, each unravelling a unique narrative:
“Formations Space”: The first room for “Latent Spaces” envelops its audience in its compelling universe, using mirrors, light, sound and reflection to straight away totally immerse onlookers within its narrative.
“Complexity Space”: In this second space, audiences will witness dazzling animations depicting the birth of never-before seen environments and lifeforms all beyond our wildest imaginations, with captivating and enchanting 360° visuals.
“Agents Space”: Connecting Illusionaries’ penultimate and final rooms is an intricately detailed series of corridors, entitled the ‘Agents Space’. Here the audience becomes a part of the art, bridging the digital art with the artificial intelligence ‘agents’.
“Breathing Space”: The final arena of “Latent Spaces” invites participants to reflect on the experience in the company of breathing otherworldly creatures, born through artificial intelligence, beamed in circular projections within an enchanting and meditative garden environment. Complementing the visual spectacle is a bespoke soundtrack, masterfully composed by the renowned music designer and producer, Jesse Solomon Clark. Clark's illustrious history in crafting compositions for large-scale installations around the globe ensures that the auditory experience is as mesmerising as the visuals.Delve into "Latent Spaces", a testament to the amalgamation of human creativity and AI brilliance. This exhibition promises not just a visual treat but a profound introspection into the myriad possibilities that emerge when art and technology converge.
