Gene.sys

Gene.sys is a triptych of digital paintings printed on wood, each paired with a QR code that activates an augmented reality experience—revealing the artwork as a 3D digital sculpture through mobile devices.
The title Gene.sys evokes a dual reference: on one hand, the biblical book of Genesis—the origin narrative of the Judeo-Christian tradition—and on the other, the syntax of digital file naming in computer systems. This interplay between sacred origin stories and computational logic frames the conceptual core of the work.
With this piece, the artist [ctrl_v] imagines a contemporary “New Renaissance,” marked by profound shifts in how reality is perceived, mediated, and redefined. He proposes the emergence of a “new human gene”—a symbolic evolution of humanity shaped by immersive technology, algorithmic thinking, and global interconnectivity. These new beings, reborn in an augmented coexistence, embody a paradox of hyperconnection and increasing disconnection.
Gene.sys is both a reflection and a provocation—inviting viewers to contemplate the spiritual, biological, and technological transformations of the human condition in the digital age.
