What difference does it make if something is really living if the illusion of it is good enough and evokes our senses in the same way?

​

What will come out of indulging in a relationship with a digital being long-term? And how far will the illusion go as technology emerges?  

​

That is the base for my process "Mathematical Companion" A name created by the artist Cibelle Cavalli Bastos. 

​

During a previous creative pursuit, I sculpted a form that unexpectedly triggered deep-seated feelings of empathy and care. The form suddenly became more than a simple object, transforming into a potential living entity. From that moment, I felt compelled to develop its distinct personality and movement

 

My goal is to continue nurturing and expanding this entity as new technologies emerge.
