"The Matrix of human identity' by Artemis Akchoti Shahbazi (AAKS), originally commissioned by Crescent Moon Projects, 2014, New York, is an experimental project. Still in its experimentation phase, evolving and ongoing, it asks each participants to face the entirety of their life, past present and future, making visible what is relevant, in terms of trauma, desires and longings.
The intention of the project is described as follow:
"How to capture the matrix of human identity? If we created a timeline, or a box or a circle, representing the entirety of your life, no dates, and ask you to add your own chronology of factors that brought you where you are and further... into the future... Through drawings, writings, your own movements, shapes and voice, what would we see? Would we get out of a limited view of some parts? Would we get into a space of inclusiveness, curiosity, compassion and courage? Would we see the true Human Matrix? Would we become the whole? Would you see what you love and love it?"
The videos above are part of a various set of videos (2020-present) in which the artist is experimenting with the virtual formats. The images bellow are experiments done between between 2014-present.
Generous participation of Soheyla Akchoti, Ela Ben-Ur, Annie Blair, Ann Baetz, Niloufar Keyrandish, Azadeh Tajpour, Carol Zahner, Crescent Moon Project participants.
