“From the abolished void inside the grain. Sliding soil, drifting sediments, layers of creation upon an unsettled reality. Secluded between past and future. Murmuration. Frozen nebula’s hidden in sparkling snow. Murmuration as broadcasting. Murmuration decentralized. The gateway. The everlasting bliss of impermanence; struggling against the stream. Terraforming of celestial bodies. Excessive exertion. Observing.” /Last quote from KIKIA. An jilted and dismantled AI. Manufactured and initiated by the Guryev family corp. Situated at Nordaustlandet, Svalbard, Norway.

For AUJIK, nature is divided into Refined and Primitive categories. This separation presents a conflict that is the root of all chaos in the world, and in order to reach a sublime state, AUJIK generates rituals to harmonize the organic and synthetic realms. Refined nature consists of evolved technology such as robotics, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, DNA manipulations, and body enhancements. The Primitive includes fauna, flora, and the Earth itself with its precious stones, minerals, and metals. The pulsating foliage and advanced interfaces that emerge in the biosphere serve as sacred artifacts, visions of a futurist environment. Through crossbreeds of biotic and technological systems, AUJIK’s animism for the Digital Age presents new possibilities for evolution and strives for Post-Human nirvana. /JC Gonzo AUJIK is based in Kyoto, Japan and mainly works with computer animation, architectural projects, AR, VR, photo, clothes, painting, music and installations.
