Overview

In a museum in Cyprus, ancient terracotta figures shaped like human beings bear witness to the ideas about the origin of life on earth that prevailed at the time. In severel ancient myths, clay contained the seed of life itself. In the future, the sculptures may be seen to herald a post-human condition where man-made life is a reality. Equipped with a home-made 3D camera, artist Amalie Smith has created a speculative multidisciplinary study of origin myths and the precursors of artificial life.
