«Aelita» is the first part of a series of digital art pieces (Fluorine Beings) that combines ancient photographic and cinematographic techniques with video game programming, 3D scanning, 3D audio, artificial intelligence and deep learning. Reflect on our second (or first) digital identity: avatars, metahumans, transhumans.

It is inspired by «Aelita: Queen of Mars», a silent science fiction film directed by Soviet filmmaker Yakov Protazanov released in 1924, based on Alexei Tolstoy’s novel of the same name from 1923.

About «Fluorine Beings»: Fluorine beings were created after fusing biology and technology into a new transhuman hybrid. They live in large biological vaults that open to the ground surface every several decades. The domes house many floors filled with biodomes and high-tech hubs. Fluorine beings are a creative and artistic species that loves colors and light. The personality of this creature is expressed through expressive shapes, sharp angles, bright colors, visual lines, and organic geometric patterns.
