What if the race for artificial superintelligence rests on a mistake — and the dream of crewed journeys to distant worlds fails at a limit no technology can cross? SilIn is a philosophical sci-fi thriller about an insight the evidence increasingly supports: consciousness doesn't arise in the brain — it underlies everything. A journey that begins deep in the Gotthard bunker and weaves science, spirituality, and what it means to be human into something new.
Was, wenn das Wettrennen um künstliche Superintelligenz auf einem Irrtum beruht — und der Traum von bemannten Reisen zu fernen Welten an einer Grenze scheitert, die keine Technik überwindet? SilIn ist ein philosophischer Sci-Fi-Thriller über die Frage, die alles verändert, sobald man sie ernst nimmt: Was, wenn Bewusstsein nicht im Gehirn entsteht — sondern allem zugrunde liegt? Bewusstsein entsteht nicht im Gehirn — es liegt allem zugrunde.
Eine Reise, die im Gotthard-Bunker beginnt und Wissenschaft, Spiritualität und Menschsein neu verbindet.
I'm thrilled that you are here!
My name is Stan Adard, though I was born Ralph Marcel Stucki in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.
My artistic journey began in the world of music as the keyboardist for the progressive rock band Nautilus. We created two albums: "20.000 miles under the sea" (1978) and "SpaceStorm" (1980).
After earning a master's degree in social pedagogy, psychology, and sociology from the University of Zurich, I founded Rotron Electronics AG and Rotron Software AG.
These ventures honed my skills in technology, paving the way for my digital art career.
From 2014, inspired by my practice of Buddhist meditation, I started to create "The Breathing Pictures." These works combine 3D modeling and the rhythmic nature of conscious breathing, inviting viewers to harmonize their breath with the artwork.
This unique blend of art and mindfulness fosters introspection and psychological wellness. My work extends beyond visual art into film, with projects like "Time(s) to Breathe" and 'Breathing Through" (VR), emphasizing themes of mindfulness, birth and transition, and stop your thoughts controlling you.
Through my collaborative initiative, astradream, I curate immersive experiences that highlight the transformative power of breathing art.
Today, I aim to push the boundaries of digital art, encouraging a more contemplative interaction with technology and art.
Thank you for joining me on this journey!
