School statement:
“Vcuarts Qatar presented GH, L, an immersive exhibition that reflects on the systems that operate our lives, through technology, economics and ecology, and how they shape the way of world experience.
“Exhibition takes cu from popular ‘solution’ or solution (غ compsifting), Shapeshifting Tricker or a mischievous malevolent creature of Arab folklore.
“The exhibition uses the figure as a metaphor to affect the man-made system in our daily existence, impact and penis checking.
“GH, l invites visitors to question how these structures adopt collective values and change living realities. These projects reflect the urgency of reconsideration of systems that are in everyday life.
“Through poetic, important and fickle busyness, they invite the audience to navigate visual and invisible forces shaping the present – and to imagine options beyond them.
“GH, the faculty of Vcuarts Qatar and Richmond by students, students, alumni and colleagues brings together a diverse set of tasks.”
Fariha Ahmed, Fatima Nazir, Ellis Aslem, Selma Fazzulj, Jod Albesti and Shavki Abdullah by Hydrogan
“Hydrogan is a satirical installation that criticizes the modification of water and identity in the AI-operated era.
“AI-a-borne water launch was implicated as a corporate launch of water, it exposes environment and moral costs by rhetoric of technological progress.
“Through performance, biometric entry, and motivational branding, work is a spectacle of desire, explaining how the trust is created and consumption is engineer.
“Hydrogan asks the audience to face the systems that they trust and have learned to accept silent trade-bounds.”

Group Project: Clarity
“Clarity invites the participants into a virtual cave, where a sculpture keyboard becomes a medium to revolve digital ‘clarity’.
“Through the fickle response loops between the body, gesture and code, the task explains how the embodiment of embodiment of embodiment and chaotic virtual spaces experience within the virtual space.
“Each tasks shown will align with the central theme of the exhibition exhibition: sizes of contemporary life and inviting alternative futures through engagement, criticism and playing are visible to hidden forces.
“This transcontinental collaboration vcuarts reflects dedication to Qatar’s creative research that spreads subjects, cultures and technologies.”

Self-reluxiv Worlds: Ideal Ghar by Shanmu Sun
“In the adaptive virtual environment, the user becomes both the subject and the object, the cause and the effect, the figure and the ground.
“Responsible technologies reflect our images and desires back, attract us in a hall of shifting mirrors that are not always easy to escape.
“The ideal house is an XR story that re -tells the meaning of the house through immigrant experiences and emerging technologies.
“A collection of texts written by immigrants and contained in memory and displacement, a fine-stuffed GPT-4 model re-worked in an integrated script.
“Brought into a game engine, this script disturbs the boundary between oral history and generic storytelling.
“Directed by a spectral AI avatar, player-layered landscapes, fleeting memories and cultural symbols, co-written with a new language of co-writing with the system.”
student: Shanmu Sun
Self-Riflexiv Worlds: Sirena Pearl by Text Texture
“Text texture turns live webcams to move the ASCII streams, represents the player’s movements directly into the sports world.
“This supernatural mirroring simultaneously creates a state of observation and self-culture, highlighting the stress between control and presenting.
“Players actively require code elements for progress in sports, a process that encounters them with their digital identity, pieces, abstraction and algorithms as a pars data.
“Work asks: Do we write our digital appearance, or we are written as consumable data points within the system of calculations?”
student: Sarena Pearl
tutor: Peter Baldes (Project Advisor)
Group Project: Roto Riso
“Roto Riso is a modular kinetic installation inspired by Duchamp’s rotorlephs and opes, which is re -prepared through contemporary media practices.
“The project invites students to detect speed, confusion, and cultural patterns through the reso-affected spinning discs.
“With adjustable speed, direction and swapable parts, Roto-Riso is an interactive and partnership experience that merges with art history, design, kinetic imaging and an interdisciplinary introduction to time-based media in an interdisciplinary introduction.”

Food Waste Renaissance by Yasamin Shekhi
“Food West Rainsenses (FWR) explains how the excess of food and how the products can be converted into sustainable design materials.
“Instead of claiming to resolve large -scale waste issues, it represents the perception, inviting individuals, designers and communities that they have a great ability to waste.
“Working with rice and date bypraducts, the FWR forms a biodegradable lamp that returns the material from the table to the table.
“In a world where systems often cause masks damage, FWR proposes an alternative passage, reinforcement through design.”
