Brief

Scorpios presents Echoes of Alhambra, an evocative multimedia digital art collection by new media artist and AI researcher Orkhan Mammadov, and producer DJ Lannka, that takes viewers on a multi-sensorial cultural journey.

Statement

Drawing inspiration from the Alhambra, a beacon of Andalusian cultural and architectural heritage, the collection examines the palace's multifaceted allure - its mesmerizing architecture, delicate calligraphy, verdant gardens, tranquil water fountains, breathtaking vistas, and the vibrant tapestry of life it nurtures.

Each AI-generated painting is a reflection of Alhambra's layered history, echoing its diverse cultural influences. The AI transcends its technological roots, resonating with the palace's aesthetic elements and producing artworks that engage viewers both visually and intellectually.

The unique data visualization piece provides an expressive exploration of the process behind the creation of the artworks. It bridges the divide between art and technology, mapping the interplay between Alhambra's elements, illuminating their frequency and representation within the collection, offering a distinct perspective on the artistic journey.

Complementing the visual component of the collection, Lannka has crafted a one-minute auditory piece, steeped in the tones of Spanish music. This composition enhances the sensory journey, transporting the viewer into the heart of Andalusia, and adding an extra dimension to the vibrant exploration of culture.

Organized by Skorpios Mykonos and HOFA Gallery, "Echoes of Alhambra" forms a pivotal part of the Encounters Exhibition, encapsulating its ethos of cultural exploration and innovative expression. It invites viewers to engage with Alhambra's rich heritage through the unique lens of AI, signifying a convergence of tradition and innovation, and underlining Alhambra's enduring cultural influence in contemporary art.
