Baku: The Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum has hosted the opening ceremony of the exhibition 'NI - Natural Intelligence'.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the exhibition features installations, digital art, nano video art, and performance works by artists Ramil Aliev, Emin Mathers, Nargiz Ramizgizi, Ramil Mammadli, and Lenay Seidali-zade. These works are created within the field of science art, which combines art, science, and contemporary technologies.

The project 'NI - Natural Intelligence' delves into the impact of technological progress, the digital environment, and global environmental changes on contemporary patterns of human thinking. The exhibition addresses themes such as memory, attention, perception, humanity's relationship with the environment, and the gradual distancing from physical reality and cultural roots in the age of digitalisation.

A significant focus of the project is the Azerbaijani carpet, which serves as a carrier of memory, symbols, and cultural codes. The artists offer a reinterpretation of this ancient art form through the lens of contemporary social, technological, and environmental processes.

The exhibition highlights the interaction between science and art, inviting visitors to contemplate the evolving relationships among humans, nature, the human body, technology, and cultural heritage.

The exhibition is organised with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum, and the YARADICI Creative Centre. The project, implemented by the Atesh Hub platform, is a winner of the Azad Mirzajanzada Development Program. The founder and mentor of Atesh Hub is Honoured Artist of Azerbaijan and curator Sabina Shikhlinskaya. The project curator is Sofiya Frank, and the coordinator is Agnessa Tariverdiyeva.
