Science gallery monterrey: exhibition proposals on ‘consciousness’ (mexico)
in-person mobility
open for: individuals / organisations & collectives artists, researchers & critics cross-disciplinary
science gallery monterrey (mexico) invites artists, researchers, community activists and critical thinkers to submit existing, interdisciplinary artistic and research projects for the next exhibition centred around the theme of consciousness. The exhibition will open in october 2025.
science gallery monterrey invites artists, designers and researchers to explore consciousness from multiple interdisciplinary perspectives. Is it either as a purely spiritual phenomenon or as a simple byproduct of matter? Is the result of neurological processes or a computational organ that algorithms can replicate? Is it the aesthetic creation of a demiurge or the chance result of quantum accidents?
potential subthemes
* the mind-body duality vs. the ai-machine duality.
* can science objectively describe the subjective?
* could a droid enjoy the taste of an apple?
* do plants experience forms of consciousness?
* the distinction between robot and human consciousness.
* what is it like to be a fruit fly?
* the use of scientific tools to study the nature of dreams.
* are quantum events the building blocks of consciousness?
* frankenstein’s creature or hal: replicas of consciousness made of artificial neuronal organoids.
the focus of the gallery is on young people between the ages of 15 and 30. Consciousness will only include pre-existing works of art that directly address the exhibition’s theme.
anybody who takes an interdisciplinary approach and has meaningful insights into the topic of this exhibition is welcome to apply, either individually or as part of a group.
projects selected through our open call will be funded up to 150,000 mxn. This budget includes all licensing and artist fees, as well as flights and hotel accommodation for the artist should they choose to attend, plus freight, insurance, and other related costs.
