A Thought-Provoking Exploration of Life, Death, and Digital Transformation Debuts in Prestigious Exhibitions in New York City and Querétaro, Mexico.
New York, NY – October 22, 2024: LV Agency, Inc. proudly announces that SurR.Ai’s groundbreaking artwork, "SurR: A Picture of Off a Picture," will be featured in two significant "Día de los Muertos" exhibitions this October, presenting a unique dialogue between tradition and modernity:
The inclusion of SurR.Ai’s artwork in these exhibitions highlights the growing influence of phygital art—a fusion of physical and digital elements—and marks a profound exploration of cultural symbolism through emerging technologies.
A Layered Artistic Dialogue: Meta-Representation, Tradition, and Digital Transformation
The artwork’s title, "SurR: A Picture of Off a Picture," carries a reflective, multi-dimensional concept that lies at the heart of the piece. It hints at meta-representation—where an image reflects another image - while embodying themes central to Día de los Muertos: life and death as interconnected, not opposites.
Building upon the legacy of José Guadalupe Posada, whose iconic skeletal illustrations have become synonymous with Mexican heritage, this artwork reinterprets traditional calaveras through vibrant floral patterns and whimsical motifs. Posada’s influence is evident not just in the visual elements, but also in the tone - playfully celebrating the inevitability of death with reverence and joy, echoing the ethos of "Día de los Muertos."
The digital component adds a transformative layer. The skeleton image, mirrored on a digital screen, is not a mere replica but an evolution - representing how meaning changes across contexts, just as digital art redefines how we engage with the world. The interplay between physical and digital forms challenges viewers to reflect on how identity, legacy, and memory are reconstructed in today’s interconnected era. This dual existence captures the essence of phygital art, where the boundaries between tangible and virtual dissolve, inviting fresh interpretations of old narratives.
A Statement from Vladi Lepisko, President and CEO of LV Agency, Inc. “This project is a bold step in exploring how tradition can evolve in the digital space. 'SurR: A Picture of Off a Picture' exemplifies the idea that cultural heritage is not static but fluid—able to transform and thrive across mediums. The exhibitions in New York City and Querétaro provide the perfect platforms to present this phygital masterpiece. It’s an honor for LV Agency, Inc. to guide this project, fostering connections between ancient traditions and future technologies. This work challenges the idea of boundaries—whether between life and death, or the physical and digital worlds—offering new ways to celebrate the richness of human expression.”
A Phygital Fusion Resonating with Día de los Muertos Traditions
Día de los Muertos, celebrated primarily in Mexico and by communities worldwide, emphasizes remembrance and transformation. SurR.Ai’s artwork engages deeply with this philosophy. The mirrored skeleton on the digital screen is more than just an image—it’s a metaphor for how memories and legacies shift across generations and platforms. In much the same way, Día de los Muertos festivities reinterpret sorrow as joy, using skulls and colorful motifs to express the beauty of life within death.
The use of phygital elements in "SurR: A Picture of Off a Picture" adds a modern touch to these age-old traditions, creating a dialogue between the past and future. Through this integration of digital innovation with cultural celebration, the artwork highlights the power of technology to expand, rather than diminish, the meaning of heritage.
