Venue: Fundacion Telefoniica, Madrid, Spain
In recent years, the words “code” and “algorithms” have become increasingly ubiquitous in news pieces and conversations. We all take for granted their growing role in countless aspects of our lives while remaining unaware of their nature and implications. In an increasingly quantifiable and parameterised world, where algorithms make decisions in countless aspects of our lives such as work, leisure and health, the ‘Code and Algorithms. Meaning in a Calculated World’ exhibition seeks to make this phenomenon and its implications understandable, generating questions and knowledge that encourage reflection and debate. Can algorithms guarantee greater neutrality and efficiency? Are they as free from human bias as we tend to think? How can we make our humanity prevail in a calculated world?

Marble, polyamide, machine learning algorithms, custom software, original dataset, multichannel video installation.
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the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone.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'.

5-channel video installation; HD film; website: thenewcolor.net; book, edition of 50.
An online mystification concerning a parascientific breakthrough discovery of a never-before-seen colour. The digital myth took the form of a fictitious company's website, video adverts & mockumentary interviews to become a viral sensation attracting mass attention online.
