Atomus Tempore Vol. 2

By Mauricio Rivera Ramirez

Like the previous volume of Atomus Tempore, this book presents a collection of photomontages and digital illustrations, this time produced between 2016 and 2018. Unlike Volume No. 1 -which combines images with (semi)random thoughts and with fragments of articles and essays written during the same years when the images were produced- the imagery in Volume No. 2 is connected to a short text that may be seen as a prologue to The Saga of the Great Algorithm. This is a series of 5 graphic novels (originally conceived as screenplays), of which I have already published book No. 1 -titled Apollonian Hues- while book No. 2 -titled Camera Ubiqua, will be published during the second semester of 2018. This short story is also connected to another graphic novel I've published (this one originally conceived as a stage play) titled: The War on Meats. All these stories relate to the last and greatest technological breakthrough achieved by the human species: The Great Algorithm (also known as Clausen's Meta-Algorithm). The titles mentioned above reflect my concern/fascination with the explosive combination between the rise of artificial intelligence and the unrestrainable human impulse to trespass into realms formerly reserved to deities.
