Future Perfect
October 30th- December 11th
Dvir Gallery is pleased to invite you to the opening of Future Perfect, a solo exhibition by Or Even Tov and Miri Segal
1997 - Larry Page and Sergey Brin create Google Search Engine.
1998 - Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim writes a check for $100,000 to an entity that doesn't exist yet: a company called Google Inc.
2004 - Scientists develop a non-invasive brain-computer interface through which one can move a cursor across a computer screen just by thinking about it.
2005 - Raymond Kurzweil writes "The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology," in which he states that by 2045 man and machine will have become one entity, new and different from every previous life form”.
2009 - Google Inc. is a multinational public cloud computing, Internet search, and advertising technologies corporation whose market capital is $153.4 billion.
By 2013 Gooble Inc. will have launched the Gmind, a wearable computer activated by users’ thoughts. The inauguration of the Gmind will be announced on March 28th 2013 with a historical talk delivered by Sergey B., co-founder and president of Gooble Inc.
Future Perfect is a leap off the edge of history into the future of material and cultural expectations. This leap mediates conceivable technological-scientific progression and the possibility of its actualization. This project introduces the Gmind, a (de)vice through which the world is extended by obtainable technology. The language of consumerism and entertainment is assimilated into both the Gmind and its marketing strategies.
The ambitious artistic project crosses media and corresponds with science fiction novels and film, industrial design and advertising, yet it places emphasis not in speculation of possible futures but in the criticality of this moment. It seeks to examine changes in the way human beings are due to technological and scientific developments that are already taking place and explores the social and psychological implications of those changes.
Feuerbach understands the notion of the "thing-in-itself" as a process for which the condition exists, but which is yet to “show itself". Looking at the thing-in-itself, we fix our gaze at Future Perfect.
