In his lecture, Formatting Gaia + Technological Symbiosis, Patrick will target in on the inspirations that led to his photographic portfolio Formatting Gaia. Along with a sharing of the artwork, Patrick will highlight integrated and emerging technologies that point to a future singularity.
Patrick Millard's work continually visits upon scientific and technological themes that he sees as paramount to an understanding of the future conditions of vision, environment and the human experience. Topics such as technological embodiment, virtual and augmented realities, ecotechnology, biotechnologies, or nanotechnology are some of the reappearing issues that appear in his artwork.
