Join us today for the opening of ‘Touching Alterity (A Latent Anatomy)’ to discover the work of MH Sarkis (MFA Fine Arts) in collaboration with Vytautas Niedvaras (BSc Creative Computer).
MH Sarkis (b. 1990) weaves together ideas of female subjectivities, the Dyad, and religion, through multimedia-activated textiles and video. Most recently she explores these themes, particularly futures of gender, within frameworks of potential techno-utopias (or dystopias). Sarkis is a Lagos-raised, London-born Lebanese artist; her work continually crosses borders and has been exhibited across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. She is based in London and is currently on the Goldsmiths MFA Fine Art programme. She has taken part in the 2018 Shape Open (supported by Yinka Shonibare MBE) and has been featured on the Saatchi Art platform. Upcoming shows include "2068" at SPACE in Hackney, London.
Vytas (b. Lithuania 1990), is a computational artist who works through notions of recursion, emergence, embodied technologies, and digital versus analogue control of the body. Most recently he has been exploring latent space of the human voice using machine learning techniques. He is currently in his final year of the Goldsmiths’ BSc Creative Computing degree.
