Russian Invasion of Ukraine: What's Next?

#7 Day 1 - Military Training For Civilians

OpenSea Shared Storefront

Many women around the world are resisting. This resistance is sometimes against men and sometimes against the system. Sometimes women can walk with all obstacles. The rope is wrapped around the woman's body, but the woman is not unhappy, she hopefully closes her eyes and has a dream. Out-of-school girls, primitive thoughts, some scholastic forms of primitive and medieval darkness are still valuable to some families. Yet the poem must go on.

This photo shows that it is possible to walk despite or together with obstacles. It invites you to nature and contrasts with high contrast. Do you see the far house? That house is where we want to escape. Why stay in a house when we can be in touch with nature? Light is still in the lead role. Because the light is always the leading role in my story. Look at the light on the woman's face, it sums up my whole story.

The Poem of Freedom

Experimental

All the art pieces are created for a purpose. Some for beauty, some for stories, and some for the sake of creating. My latest work LOST IN TRANSLATION is an art piece designed to express the sense of understanding that I have been missing for a long time.  
 
In the last 2 years, I always felt like my words and feelings were not important to others in this space. So little cared but the general opinion was to avoid me cause I was so dull. (That was what I thought) But then I realized that my words were actually lost in the translation like many of you and my works wasnt good enough to fill that gap.


Most of us are trying to talk in a language that we are not used to it much before. People from all over the world who have different cultures, habits, feelings, and different goals are gathering around 1 single need; the need of being understood.

But as we try to be understood more we focus more on marketing techniques, being active in spaces, learning the English better, trying to trick the algorithm, and so on and so on.

And we end up forgetting why we set out. We are not trying to produce, we are trying to prove to ourselves that we can produce. We are changing more and more, in the wrong direction.

That's why we need Art more than ever these days. Art, which has never lost its value at any point in history, is the only tool that will heal us, meet our needs, and make us understand.

If we start listening to our own inner voice instead of the marketing tactics of others, get to know ourselves, and try to convey what we really want to express through Art, then we will be one step closer to being understood.

No tactic is more powerful, more impressive than a true work of art.

When we understand this, I believe success will come right after. But for this, you don't need to learn any language. That was my biggest mistake!  
 
Dont create for others, dont create to sell, and dont try to prove anything to anyone. Forget the words, marketing techniques, the trick, and everything you learned before. Listen to your inner self and stick to your art.

PIONEER GRAILS - GIRLBOY AVATAR

GIRL+BOY AVATAR from ALICE UNCHAINED by Claudia Hart is released as a PIONEER GRAIL on the occasion of the artists solo exhibitions at EXPANDED.ART in Berlin and at Annka Kultys Gallery in London to celebrate and share her visionary spirit.  

GIRL+BOY AVATAR is on the cover of the fourth edition of DIGITAL ART (Thames and Hudson) written by Christiane Paul, Curator of New Media at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Pauls book is considered to be the canon of digital art history; the first edition was published in 2003, the fourth edition in May 2023. 

The image, a scene from ALICE UNCHAINED, portrays Harts gender-fluid avatar performing in the FLOWER MATRIX, her personal interpretation of Alices Wonderland: an endless labyrinth from which there is no escape. Hart covers the wall of her matrix with emojis using the addictive symbols of casino capitalism and computer languages, both sweet and disturbing. GIRL+BOY AVATAR is a metaphor for contemporary life in the age of the metaverse as Hart imagined it in the year 2018. 

Harts ALICE UNCHAINED is a 3-channel animation and interactive virtual reality world. It was inspired by the technology theorist Donna Haraway. She imagined a Utopian future in her A CYBORG MANIFESTO in which advanced bio-technologies would liberate human culture from the constraints of gender binaries. In response, Hart directed and motion-captured professional wrestler Isaias Velazquez and choreographer-dancer Kristina Isabelle, mixing their movements together to create a singular, cyborg ballet performed by a gender-fluid avatar. This adds up to a new chamber music experience, one strangely referential to the 19th-century salon for chamber music. Lewis Caroll wrote the original ALICE IN WONDERLAND in 1868. ALICE UNCHAINED exists in a realm between the real and the digital, in neither time nor space. 

ALICE UNCHAINED is a virtual chamber for chamber music consisting of a cyborg performance rendered in three virtual cameras and a VR experience. It is the third work created by Hart that is loosely inspired by ALICE IN WONDERLAND. The work includes music by the composer Edmund Campion. It mashes 3D animation, motion-captured live performance, and music performed by living musicians. Their sound is computer analyzed and reinterpreted in real-time. It feeds-back the virtual and the live, blending them together in a liminal, uncanny mix. 

ALICE UNCHAINED is the first mixed-reality pieceincluding a headset VRpurchased by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. It inspired generations of younger mixed-reality artists and world-builders that worked directly with Hart as a professor. She developed a program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago: EXPERIMENTAL 3D. Her intention was to expand contemporary installation-based practice into the realm of post-photography simulations, from 3D animation to VR, AR, and sculpture produced with 3D printing and other computer-driven tools. The students in classes such as her Basic Course (inspired by the Bauhaus original), Virtual Installation, Digital Bodies, Atmospheric Animation, among others, moved generations of future artists and world buildersincluding Sophie Kahn, Katie Torn, Sara Ludy, and Mitchell F Chanthat went on to move contemporary art in a new direction.
