In fluid minds Nicolás Lamas proposes a speculative archaeology of the present, where the boundaries between matter, thought, and technology dissolve into a network of interdependent relations. Rather than offering a stable vision of the world, the works summon open systems – hybrid and in constant transformation.
For the exhibition space, the artist designs a processual display that moves between construction and decay: a fragile architecture reminiscent of an archaeological excavation site, where traces of civilizational development become visible. The exhibition unfolds as a landscape of cognitive tensions, where history condenses into geological strata, ruins converse with technological debris, and human identity is reconfigured in relation to invisible infrastructures and collective organisms. Within this environment, the works function as thought-devices: they activate connections, stretch concepts, and allow us to glimpse other possible forms of intelligence, memory, and coexistence.
With a heterogeneous materiality, ranging from bone remains to technological fossils and collaged photographs, Lamas questions the mechanisms of knowledge and historiography. In his works, intelligence is not understood as an isolated entity, but as an ecology shaped by interactions, encompassing various forms of knowledge and information storage that are not limited to humans. fluid minds offers a perspective on the world as a hybrid structure of matter, socialization, and overlapping temporalities.
