Maxime Passadore doesn’t exactly shy away from trying out news things. The French digital artist and experimental photographer is a wizard when it comes to creating imagery, and his upcoming show at LAPAIX gallery in Paris is another exemplary demonstration of both his skills and creative vision. Elaborately entitled Genesis – A Transhumanist Odyssey, it’s a collab effort with Ground Effect gallery, and celebrates the 160th anniversary of Franco-Japanese diplomatic relations. The exhibition opens Fri – Jun 1 (6pm – 10pm), and on display are analog photography mixed with glitch and digital art, and all part of an experimental digital art project that was first initiated in 2015. Passadore’s inspiration comes from the cyberpunk universe and techno utopian societies, and as such, the show is also a firm nod to Transhumanism, a movement which has an intellectual approach to transform the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies to enhance human intellect and physiology. The artworks explore a conceptual future of humanity, the place of reality in a full technological universe, where the border between human and machine are provokingly blurred und unclear.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
