We start the new academic year with a special exhibition from September till the end of October 2014. No traditional paintings this time, but the digital creations of Geert Vanhoovels. This Belgian artist studied sculpture at the Academy for Visual Arts in Louvain. His work is socially involved and comprises assemblings, 'monotube sculptures', digital images and 'art & strategy projects'. His genious talent was discovered in 2012 during the Canvascollectie exhibition at Bozar (Museum for Fine Arts in Brussels) for which this assembling of a deer with a prothesis body was selected.
His conceptual 'Transhuman Generation Art' is associated with philosophic aspects related to transhumanism. This is a recent form of speculative philosophy that tries to break the limits of humain existance which are imposed by nature.
His creations symbolize the transition from human being to machine, the influences of technological and scientific developments on society and human and animal rights. New technologies permit to take our development into our own hands. In this way we can amend our own evolution aside from natural processes.
