Do we live in a simulation? Multi exposure technique on 3D models from computer games. "....at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation. It follows that the belief that there is a significant chance that we will one day become posthumans who run ancestor‐simulations is false, unless we are currently living in a simulation." -N. Bostrom [Published in Philosophical Quarterly (2003) Vol. 53, No. 211, pp.

About

The Swedish artist Henrik Isaksson Garnell is more than just a photographer. He is an inventor, sculptor, and art visionary. Instead of taking photographs of ordinary items, he distorts them and creates entirely new life forms. Working like a composer, he searches for irritating mistakes that can bring his art to a certain tune or noise, repeating itself in such a way that it creates music. As one views Isaksson Garnell’s work as a whole, you cannot help but notice that there is an “otherworldly” aspect to it. He is staging daydreams and nightmares. He moves between surrealism and concretism to reach his aesthetic. His work can evoke a kind of “unruly” feeling, yet the artist’s restraint is what successfully seals each image as a masterpiece.
