Exhibited Works: CAS_04 Parthenon_South_XI_31, CAS_V04 Hellenistic Portrait, CAS_V07 Deep Portrait Studies, CAS_V01 Parthenon Frieze Latent Space
Duration: 05 October–11 November 2018
Event type: Group show
Curator: Daria Parkhomenko
Organizer: Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA) & LABORATORIA Art&Science Foundation
Venue: MMOMA, Moscow, Russia
Moscow Museum of Modern Art and LABORATORIA Art&Science Foundation proudly present Daemons in the Machine, a landmark exhibition created on the occasion of the foundation’s 10th anniversary. The project is dedicated to the so-called “new daemonology”—an artistic exploration of artificial intelligence, myths, and the spectral traces of the era of autonomous machines. Can these technologies reveal unknown modes of existence? Are neural networks capable of thought—and what does it mean to think?
The exhibition features newly commissioned works by artists from Russia, the United Kingdom, Austria, and Australia, created in collaboration with scientists from iPavlov, MIPT, and NRC “Kurchatov Institute,” many of which are being presented to the public for the first time.
Daemons in the Machine investigates cutting-edge IT technologies whose potential is still largely uncharted, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and computer viruses. Through this lens, participating artists examine the ethical, philosophical, and futurological implications of contemporary technology, employing innovative art forms such as robotic installations, self-developing objects, digital interventions, and neuro-installations. Egor Kraft’s Content Aware Studies series contributes to this dialogue, interrogating the intersections of human perception, machine cognition, and cultural memory in the age of algorithmic intelligence.
