Ivor Diosi is an internationally recognized, award-winning cybershaman and Dasein-alchemist. Operates at the intersections of art, science and new technologies, in the fields of neurocinema, bio-art and hybrid art, uses mixed realities, machine vision, artificial life, simulacra, synthetic and virtual entities.
His main obsessions are identity, the existence of space-time, the emergence of organic life and consciousness. His works and installations are renown for merging biomorph and evolutionary aesthetic, scientific knowledge, technical sophistication, strong critical concepts, and powerplay with the processes of observation and perception.
Ivor is the founder of _humane after people_ - an art-science group addressing questions of the future of the human condition, aiming for a machine-unreadable humanity, creating the future Humane Other. They strive to detach from socially conditioned perception and our simian legacy as much as possible, and focus on what really matters: the human being as autonomous conscience in the unvoid.
Working since 1989 (C64 demoscene) and exhibiting hybrid art internationally since 1997 at over a hundred venues, festivals, museums and galleries around the world, including ZKM Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, The LUMEN Prize World Tour (2014-15), NESTA/FutureFest London, Fundación Telefónica VIDA / ARCO Art Fair Madrid, Japan Media Arts Festival / Metropolitan Museum of Photography Tokyo, CyNETART Dresden, Ars Electronica Linz, transmediale Berlin, ISEA International Symposium on Electronic Art ('08 Singapore), New York Institute of Technology, Kinetica London, amber Art and Technology Festival Istanbul, VIPER Basel, SVA NYDS New York Digital Salon, ENTER Festival Prague and Multiplace Bratislava. Covered by the Leonardo Journal, Leonardo/OLATS, Flash Art, Intel+VICE The Creators Project, ARTE TV and BBC, mentioned on leading cyber-culture portals Digicult, Rhizome, Turbulence, Nettime, Amber Platform and media-arts-numeriques, listed in ARTECA and DICCAN.
Ivor has received a number of international awards and distinctions, most notably the prestigious CyNETART / Stiftung für Kunst & Kultur International Award (DE), an Artistic Production Incentive endowed by Fundación Telefónica (ES), Nominations at ZKM International Media Art Awards (DE) and ACA Media Arts Awards Japan, a World Tour Selection at LUMEN Prize 'The Global Award for Digital Art', honorable mentions at VIDA Art and Artificial Life International Awards (ES) and transmediale (DE); and has been noted by a number of highest authority new media and art-science theoreticians and curators.
Ivor has created several pioneering works and is the only author coming from Slovakia, who has been systematically presenting on the global cyberculture scene for over two decades, while also achieving significant international accolades and worldwide recognition. Between 2004-2009 he has worked as creative technologist in dancetech, most notably for a co-production with Ballet Preljocaj, and for D.A.N.C.E. Network Europe, helmed by Frédéric Flamand, William Forsythe, Wayne McGregor and Angelin Preljocaj. Since 2007 he has been an associate of body>data>space London, working with creative director Ghislaine Boddington, recipient of the 2017 SAT Montreal IX Immersion Experience Visionary Pioneer Award. He has been, since 2016, a member of several Advisory Boards at the Lifeboat Foundation, and in 2019-2020 he was an Artist/Researcher at the Ars Electronica Futurelab, marking the first time ever an artist from any of the former communist countries held such a position full-time.
