PAUL YGARTUA DISCUSSES “A DREAM COME TRUE?”

Paul Ygartua explores the dystopian future depicted in his work, in which AI gives humanity immortality at the expense of freedom and identity. The artist will delve into the symbolism of souls flowing on a conveyor belt, trapped in a bleak, AI-dominated world, and reflect on his broader artistic themes of human destruction and visions of dystopian futures. Ygartua will also share reflections on his Basque heritage, connecting it to his belief in the importance of the message of indigenous cultures in protecting the world.
