András Cséfalvay is a visual artist, digital storyteller, musician, and mytho-poet from Bratislava, and an Associate Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava. Trained in painting and mathematics, he completed his dissertation on the usefulness and reality of fiction. His work explores the relationship between culture and technology, and the political and ethical dimensions of listening to non-dominant voices in world-making.
In this lecture, Cséfalvay introduces A Dragon Theory of Future — a mythopoeic guide to navigating technological and cultural singularities. Expect a landscape where timeless and timebound dragons gnaw, message, and redeem; where the Higgs boson, evolutionary theory, and the Artemis space program intertwine in stories that challenge our imagination and expand our access to the world.
His projects have been exhibited at Trafo Budapest, Karlin Studios Prague, KW Berlin, Muzeum Sztuki Lodz, Art in General New York, ISCP New York, Firstdraft Sydney, and the Slovak National Gallery, among others. He is the recipient of the Oskár Čepan Award and the Tatra Banka Foundation Award for Art.
