REVIEWS
FIRST REVIEW
Dr. Lila Moore's paper presents a deeply philosophical and innovative approach to understanding the intersections of technology, art, and the metaphysical. Moore's exploration is grounded in a rich historical and theoretical context, drawing from Freud's concept of the uncanny double, the spiritual and occult traditions in art, and contemporary technoetic practices. The paper delves into how AI and AR technologies can be employed to investigate and evolve the concept of the uncanny and magickal double, offering a fresh perspective on the role of technology in expanding the boundaries of artistic expression and spiritual exploration.
The strength of the paper lies in its ability to weave together a diverse array of disciplines—ranging from psychoanalysis and art history to digital media and spiritual practice—into a coherent narrative that challenges conventional perceptions of technology and its potential for creative and spiritual inquiry. Moore's use of AI image generation and AR as tools to explore the metaphysical aspects of the double introduces a novel methodological approach that blurs the lines between the material and the immaterial, the real and the imagined.
Moreover, the paper's philosophical underpinnings provide a robust theoretical framework that elevates the discussion beyond mere technological innovation to address deeper questions about consciousness, identity, and the nature of reality. Given the paper's originality, interdisciplinary breadth, and the author's compelling integration of theory and practice, a score of 3 (strong accept) is well-deserved.
SECOND REVIEW
A highly relevant, and well-researched paper that introduces the fascinating concept of the double, both from an art historic, theoretical and conceptual perspective, as well as from a contemporary lense through the practice of AI image generation. The paper is well written, images and annotations are highly relevant, and the topic could not be of more interest to the EVA London audience.
A strong accept for a brilliant submision.
