Presentation by Ariel Guzik

Through the means of scientific research that dates back to ancient physics, Ariel Guzik has been developing different artifacts and machines based on the idea of empathy, in search of a non-anthropocentric way to transmit and be affected by the otherness that surrounds us in nature, with a focus on sea mammals.

Sound thoughts emitted by gigantic whales and other vibrating cosmic energies have been reached and amplified in beautiful ways by Guzik’s customised devices and artifacts, built in his laboratory in Mexico over a period of nearly 2 decades. His goal is the Narcissus submarine, a metaphorical machine with no rudder, made to swim adrift in the ocean abyss to reposition the human being into the mystery of life.
