Their quest for artistic truth leads them to discover a sinister object in an underground laboratory, altering their attention span for two weeks of their lives.Diamond Spires, the new novel by multidisciplinary artist Peter Bjorndal, is part of a solo art exhibition titled Physical Digital Bourgeoisie Street Art & Poetry for Untrained Neural Networks, both Suspended in 103 Trillion Carat Diamond at The Baroque Room in St Paul, Minnesota. The exhibition grapples with themes such as the romanticization of technological advancement, while at the same time tries to show the layperson actual pragmatic steps they can take to make sure their future robotic assistant doesn’t beat them to death.
