“Because I sometimes become a painter, people believe I am an artist. My true interest is in Cybernetics, Quantum Physics, and Biology,” said Salvador Dalí.

This pivotal aspect of the connection between art and science, which characterizes the great work of the leading Spanish painter, forms the basis of the exhibition “Dali Cybernetics – A Journey into the Mind of a Genius,” which will be hosted from October 18 at the “Greek World” of the Foundation of Major Hellenism.

The exhibition, which has already been successfully presented in several European cities and in Thessaloniki, offers a captivating journey through Salvador Dalí’s most famous works from an entirely new perspective. It’s a cutting-edge experience based on parallel universes, quantum physics, the fourth dimension, optics, sacred geometry, and DNA sequences as interpreted by Dalí through his works.

Visitors will have the opportunity to trace the artist’s influences, from Surrealism and Freud increasingly towards the positive sciences, mathematics, and computer science, in a unique meeting of art with technology and science. After all, Dalí believed that for painting to survive, it must connect with the use of computers, which he considered the future, and he predicted the future capability of machines to think independently and even create Art.

As one explores the exhibition, they will admire his most famous works, encounter projections of the artist’s pieces on a 500 sq.m. surface, experience a virtual reality experience inspired by his work, and wander through a painted fantasy filled with digitized recurring elements from his iconography.

They will discover the books in his rich library, watch the documentary by Jack Bond about the great painter, and see the “stereoscopic films” by scientist Thomas Banchoff that bring four-dimensional figures to life, which introduced Dalí to Cybernetics.
