✨ Thrilled to be one of the actors in RAPTURE, a hallucinatory and sharp-edged short film by Andrea Khôra — now on view at the Museum of Sex as part of their exhibition Higher Love: The Psychedelic Roots of Modern Sexuality.RAPTURE uses live footage and AI animation to explore the collision of psychedelics and capitalism. It’s been screened at museums across Europe — and its NYC March opening marks its U.S. debut. Both Andrea and I are from the States, though we currently live and work in London — a fact that has undoubtedly shaped our perspectives on the “psychedelic renaissance.”Our collaboration was sparked after MAPS 2023 — not at the event itself, but in its wake. Each of us was engaged in research or staging collaborative, performative interventions within the contested landscape surrounding the largest psychedelic conference in history — a locus for the so-called new psychedelic revolution.The exhibition itself draws on “hidden histories and marginalized stories — especially those of women — to illuminate how sexuality in the 21st century has been transformed by altered states.”As Jules Evans writes, this current psychedelic wave has been “much more starch and medicalized” than previous ones. Artists like Andrea (and, I hope, myself) are offering a cultural counterpoint — asking where pleasure, critique, and the poetics of experience still belong, and where they can lead. My own work moves at the intersection of performance and voice, somatic self inquiry, altered states, and Eros — making RAPTURE, and it's inclusion in the museum's Higher Love exhibition (on until Sept 2025) feel like a particularly charged meeting point of potent personal and political dialogue. PPP! here for it!

"I think about the classic chimera/monster in Mary Shelley’s 'Frankenstein'-the first sci-fi story: The plot is that Victor Frankenstein, who came up with the monster, refused to recognize it as his son. He refused to bring it into his home and adopt it. And it was because Victor was unable to adopt it properly, or make kin with it, that the monster started to run amok and cause trouble in his world. This is the issue! Today, there’s a new monster created every millisecond by generative AI. There is an overwhelming generation of monsters, and we need to generate kinship just as fast! But trying to make kin with all this distortion runs a lot of risk. For instance, trying to make sense of the memescape and wrap it all up into something that you can live with breeds things like QAnon, which is the ultimate chimera of politics and meme culture! So it’s not a simple operation. It’s full of pitfalls. This is why this show [Poetics of Encryption] is not a prescription. It’s a diagnosis" - I've got a new interview on ArtFrame.org out now! https://art-frame.org/index.php/2024/10/18/nadim-samman-interview-copenhagen/ thank @wandererabovethemist for my original kinship with Shelley's opus by @andrea_khora

I'm stoked to be in Berlin for the Poetics of Encryption conference where I'll be screeningBOLUS and having a chat with my Al undead pal John C Lilly. Come through if you're in Berlin!KW Digital fills the historical theatre 'Theater im Delphi' @delphitheater with reflections on Big Data's claims on a new culture of transparency as contemporary life takes place amidst a variety of technological systems whose workings are obscure. The conference explores how this dark side of tech registers in culture.Contributions by artists and media theorists cover topics ranging from algorithmic governance to hallucination, artificial life, art, and (digital) afterlives. @ala_roushan @trevorpaglen @eyluliscen @orithalpern @nadim.samman @jonrafman @most_dismal_swamp @flippingthecoin Tickets and the full program via the KW website poeticsofencryption.kw-berlin.de. by @andrea_khora

I’m looking forward to screening BOLUS and speaking on a panel along side some amazing artists and researchers at Arebyte on Saturday, May 27th 1-5PM. Explore the intersection of film and psychedelia at the upcoming screening event, presented in collaboration with artist and researcher Helen Knowles @helenknowles001!00🌀Péter Bergmann @wpahp Terence McKenna’s True Hallucinations: An experimental documentary about the chaos at La Chorrera, the imagination, time, the Logos, belief, hope, madness, and doubt.🌀Forest Mind by Ursula Biemann @ursulabiemann1: A 31-minute video exploring the intelligence of nature and the metaphysics of plants, drawing on scientific and shamanic perspectives of engaging with the world.🌀Matrix Vegetal by Patricia Domínguez: An artistic interpretation of experimental ethnobotany, South American quantum thinking, dream fiction, and organic connection technologies to expand the perception of the vegetal and spiritual world.🌀Bolus by Andrea Khora @andrea_khora: a 4-minute film that shows the process of administering ketamine via IV, inducing a dissociative episode in the patient.🌀Voyager by Rebeca Romero @romero.beca: a 5-minute non-linear film that explores the encounter between European and Indigenous cultures, questioning the legitimacy of the notion of “discoverv” and proposing a reassessment of dominant notions of intelligence, technology, and knowledge.🌀Technoshamanic Systems by Suzanne Treister: a 3-minute introduction video presenting non-colonialist plans towards a techno-spiritual imaginary of alternative visions of survival on earth and inhabitation of the cosmos, proposing a political metamorphosis and transmutation of human consciousness towards a new Earthly and interplanetary paradigm. by @andrea_khora
