New York-based artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz has received international acclaim for his unique and innovative works on different areas and disciplines. Engaging in everything from large-scale art installations to political artworks and experimental furniture to product design, his work is always provocative, inviting viewers to look closer at realities that were often hidden in front of their own eyes.

“We tend to understand reality by constraining meaning into closed and simplified boxes defined by previous cultural conventions,” he said in a press release for his current solo exhibition Breaking the Box at R & Company in New York City.

“We live within these pre-established cognitive borders, where we only tend to see, recognize, and accept as true that which has been previously ordered and defined,” he added.

His work has been exhibited alongside the most famous architects and designers and has been featured in several magazine covers and mainstream TV in BBC, CNN, NY1, and ABC.

“It’s important to me that a project consist of just a little twist,” the young artist said, “because I ultimately want people to see the obvious, the everyday differently.”

How much do we depend on technology? How much influence does technology have over our lives and what is the relationship between art and technology? These are some of the questions sculptor Sebastian ErraZuriz asks the viewer through his latest exhibition called “The Beginning of the End”.

The 42-year-old Chilean artist presented eight 3D-modeled and 3D-printed sculptures of different significant figures that shaped the technology world as we know it today.

You will have the chance to see Edward Snowden, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and others in a 3D-printed version as mythological gods or emperors with the aesthetic of Roman statues.

This exhibition is the product of five years devoted to exploring the impact that technology has both in our intimate worlds and in the bigger picture as well while focusing on biotechnology, nanorobotics, and social economics.

The 3D-printed models were previously available only in digital form and could be seen with the help of augmented reality, but the visitors at the Elizabeth Collective in New York will have a chance to see them in real life until the 24th of May. If you are nearby, this is an excellent exhibition that deserves your attention.

“THE CORPORATE NATION STATE” The richest man in the world: Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon is depicted as Louis XIV Known as the “Sun King” a monarch, drunk with power, famous for stating: L'Etat, c'est moi (I am the state) . Amazon at 49% of US online sales today is a monopoly. Nevertheless antitrust laws do not apply as they are set to protect the consumer, whom for now receives the best deals possible. But what will happen when Amazon in its mission to fulfill revenue for its shareholders continues to replace workers for robots, cashiers for sensors? What happens when their cashier less stores perfect their software and hardware combos and lease those services out to the other few remaining retail stores? What happens when the most valuable company in the world makes its influence in the senate? How do you hold international companies that need no physical presence accountable to the laws of each country they operate in? How do you get their CEO’s to answer to congressional investigations if they are not legally compelled to do so? How do you stop a winner takes all system where East gets Alibaba and the West gets Amazon to divide the world? What happens when today’s biggest corporations have larger reserves of cash than most medium size countries? What stops them from “printing” their own currency? What stops them from declaring sovereignty? Hiring their own armed forces? And let’s say you are the citizen of a small country, imprisoned as a tourist in a foreign conflict zone like Syria… who would you rather intervened in your behalf? The president of your small particular country? Or the CEO of your company: Jeff Bezos from Amazon, Paige And Brin from Google or Zuckerberg of Facebook? Who has more power? Who would you rather “belong” to? Are countries loosing their influence and purpose in a highly efficient globalized capitalist pyramid system? I’m all ears… Throw your bets in, present your arguments, we need to start seeing the big pictures. #tech #art #sculpture #contemporaryart #3dprinting #frieze #artist
