In a collective imagination nature and technology are often seem to be two separate realms that are supposed to contradict each other rather than collaborate. A technical object is perceived as something artificial that is in a break with the natural order. Despite this common assumption, technology and nature have countless correlations. Even the idea of the internet would not have been possible, if it wasn’t for how spider webs are connected.
Most of our modern technologies were defined and inspired by already existing natural shapes and processes. Just like scientists and engineers, artists always saw nature as a source of inspiration. The exhibition “Seeing nature with technology” at DA BY CRABCHIC aims to create a utopian place where art, nature and new technology align.
Every artwork will be available for sale on Picipo – a new curated platform that goes beyond the online market and crypto society, solving the native problems of the fiat market.
Clouds and whales express the desired serenity and freedom of both author’s inner world, in the form of a dream and fantasy, and the formation of an intangible, completely incomprehensible perception
of the surrounding reality.

THE SYNTICATE ART GROUP
The mission of the Synticate art group is to help humanity step into the future by developing and promoting the concept of “Ecofuturism”- a future where technologies are harmoniously integrated into an eco-friendly world. Cybercorals are a digital form of life,
as close as possible to real corals, only complemented
by biological flexibility. This is an experiment to endow corals with the ability to bring a visual layer to their surface and emit music.

ADA SOKOL
Ada Sokol has developed a unique visual language
that is sensual, photorealistic, and delicate. The primary meanings of the moth are faith and determination.
They are adamantly and conscientiously following lunar
or artificial light, even at the risk of jeopardizing their lives. On the other hand, the moth is also a symbol
of vulnerability and fragility, both in body and mind. While they show us the importance of vigilance and determination, their existence also morally cautions us against the self-destructive tendencies of blind faith.

MOHSEN MORADI
Mohsen Moradi (born in Isfahan, Iran) is a creative director and a visual 3d artist. The artist is interested in many areas of visual effects and also regularly experiments with new tools and techniques. He often places ordinary objects in a surreal context making the viewer question the familiar way of looking at things. In his work “Reaction” flowers' response to music is performed automatically by an audio file,
by changing the audio file, flower's reaction also changes. This interconnection opens a unique type of relationships between both natural and digital realms.

Michael Danilov is a digital artist from Saint-Petersburg, Russia, who combines real landscapes and fantasy elements in his works. “Astronature” speculates
on the imaginary trip not to space but rather out of it expressing the desire to feel earth again. Nowadays we often get fascinated by space flights, but the work of the artist expresses the tiredness of this big dream by placing this heroic figure in a meditative state of being in nature.

A colorful place
Sofia Crespo is an artist working with a huge interest in biology-inspired technologies. One of her main focuses is the way organic life uses artificial mechanisms to simulate itself and evolve. While creating her work “A Colourful Place” the artist was thinking about how most of the ocean could
be considered a desert, sparsely populated, low
on sustenance. Yet, even in the most desolate stretches we can find pockets of life and biodiversity. In the neural ocean, we find the same: small bubbles, rich in lifeforms and motion.
