Curiosité dystopique n°24.
« Connais-toi toi-même et tu connaîtras l’Univers et les Dieux ».
C’est en se connaissant, en cherchant en lui-même, que l’être humain peut trouver la sagesse. Mais deux questions essentielles se posent :
– Pour y trouver quoi ?
– Par quel moyen ?
Le quoi, d’abord. Chacun, nous dit Socrate, dispose du savoir en lui-même, il suffit de se le rappeler. La connaissance est immanente à l’homme, et non extérieure. La sagesse consisterait à apprendre à se ressouvenir pour trouver le bonheur (entre autre ;) )
Le comment, ensuite. Cette connaissance de soi ne peut se faire qu’au travers du dialogue avec son âme… Notre Raison, nous dit Socrate, en tant que principe d’excellence et guide universellement bon de l’action pour l’Homme, nous le permettrait.
Le code génétique est a priori ce qui différencie un être humain d’un animal.
Mais qu’est-ce qui différencie l’être humain d’une machine dès lors que l’intelligence artificielle est en capacité de nous connaître mieux que nous-même ?
Son développement soulève la question de savoir ce qui fait notre “supplément d’âme”…
Et si nous ne sommes pas en train de recréer l'essence même de la vie, laquelle ne donnerait aucune place à l'âme…

Born and living in the South of France, by the Mediterranean Sea, a promising artist in the performing arts since the age of 10, Almakan first embraced the more practical path of international business management, the artistic career being considered a destination to nowhere.
An engineer with a degree in geopolitics and strategic foresight, she ran businesses for 20 years, mainly in the fields of new technologies and communication, before deciding to devote herself exclusively to Art and try her luck as a full-time artist in 2016.
"Extracting Beauty from chaos and creating the future" is the whole soul of Almakan's work. Her world is blue and black, tinged with sunlight, just like her native land.
Her relationship with the future conditions her technique, she paints on canvases voluntarily uneven, sculpted with plaster or worked like a wrinkled skin in the image of our planet Earth, this blue stone... and like our existences, rarely smooth.
Obsessed with possible futures and the winding paths that shape humanity much more than the highways, she never stops exploring them by all the means given to her, combining paintings and curiosity drawings.
