Contemporary art is now born from the perfect integration of human and machine. The NEO Ars Automática cycle at the CosmoCaixa Science Museum is the best example of this.
In this scenario, on February 17 you will be able to appreciate these works of art using digital technology.
Digital technologies now play a very important role in the creation of this type of art.
And the NEO cycle, a project curated by Quo Artis, seeks to unite science and technology through new and innovative artistic forms.
Human and machine united to create contemporary art
The new NEO session opens a space for reflection to understand what role machines and digital technologies are playing in the creation of contemporary art.
Or have digital media achieved creative autonomy?
The exhibition is the best way to showcase a number of modes of collaboration that were achieved between machines and humans in the art scene.
