Aaron Curry & Richard Hawkins: Human Non-Human
@ Corbett vs. Dempsey
2156 W Fulton St, Chicago, IL 60612
Opening Thursday, September 11th, from 6PM - 8PM
On view through Saturday, November 1st
Human Non-Human presents a sculpture cannibalized by the algorithm: generative software has scanned and obliterated a single artwork by Curry into nearly three hundred variations. Extracting nascent motifs from the original’s silhouette, an array of new mutated forms emerge. In some, faces drift through neon-jellied skulls, while in others a jack-o-lantern maw cracks open where a chin once was. Upon completion of Human Non-Human, Curry destroyed the original physical sculpture, thus transforming these variations into the only record of that work’s existence. What remains is a visual projection of what could have been: an amalgamation of possibilities and latent transformations across parallel timelines. The soundtrack is a collaboration with Richard Hawkins.
