Exhibited Works: CAS_V03 Deep Portrait: 6 channel version, CAS_13.2 Augmented Hercules, CAS_08 Hellenistic Ruler
Duration: 19.02–31.07.2020
Event type: Group Show
Organizer: Colección SOLO
Venue: Madrid, Spain
Still Human looks to observe our relationship with newness from a range of different artistic perspectives. It focuses on the debate on human potential for development in the face of social or technological change. Works such as those by Nina Saunders or Mario Klingemann illustrate how novel aesthetic and conceptual fields are being opened up, supporting the exhibition’s premise that developments become springboards for extending the limits of collective knowledge, so enabling new ideas to emerge.

A critical and technical exploration of the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone. This work questions the epistemological qualities of AI-accelerated historiography, akin to 'reverse archaeology'.
