IRIDIA by Soliman Lopez
IRIDIA by Soliman López
18 – 30 Sep | art’otel Hoxton | London
Solimán López is a contemporary artist whose practice operates at the intersection of art, science, technology and ecological transition.
His work investigates how information, memory and life can be stored, transmitted and transformed across physical, biological and digital systems, using technology as both a conceptual and technical mediator.
In IRIDIA, Soliman presents living system of 128 AI-powered digital minerals, each designed with international partners to address planetary challenges from resource scarcity to climate instability.
This exhibition was presented for the very first time at Art Dubai 2026 Special Edition as a response to a world at war over natural resources.
Now, the project lands in the immersive gallery at art’otel London Hoxton from 18-30th September.
IRIDIA is not an exhibition in the conventional sense.
It is a living system of a digital coalition of 128 elements, each one a unique mineral co-designed with an international partner, a university, a foundation, an art centre, a company, or an independent thinker.
Each mineral houses an autonomous AI agent trained to address a specific planetary challenge,
from resource scarcity and climate instability to biodiversity loss, technological governance, and the emerging question of interplanetary civilisation.
The project extends an open invitation to a global network of 128 international partners.
Universities, foundations, art centers, technology companies, entrepreneurs, and thinkers are welcome to co-author one element of the table, permanently inscribed in the ecosystem.
The collectors of the project becomes then, foundational partners and key people of a new ecosystem.
