ORACLE

In the second half of August 2022, the former Church of the Teutonic Knights in Ljubljana will be the venue for an immersive transmedia installation, Oracle, and the performance Stencilling – the memory of tomorrow, by Eva Petrič. Both the performance and immersive installation reflect the artist’s perception of the present and future of the world and humanity. Are we approaching the point of an “emotional singularity”, after which nothing will be the same again? As Eva Petrič  says, “The world – our planet and our home, our life – is in upheaval: it is changing rapidly and disappearing faster and faster in its current state. Not only is the climate changing, but people are also changing. The forces that dominate our lives are turning us into machines. We are becoming robots, responsive to programs that are no longer designed by nature alone. What kind of program are we going to design? What kind of light will we choose? Will we choose it ourselves?”

“Perhaps there’s still time to be the active co-creators of the programs by which we’ll soon be defined – so we define them, and they don’t define us…”.
