I am happy to share that the exhibition Codes and Algorithms: Wisdom in a Calculated World, curated by Manuela Naveau, opens tonight at Fundación Telefónica in Madrid, Spain. The show runs from October to April 2023.
The exhibition features works by colleagues including Kyriaki Goni, Karin Sander, Mushon Zer-Aviv, Kairus Art+Research, Trevor Paglen, Shinseungback Kimyonghun, Manu Luksch, Danja Vasiliev, GYOC, Iosune Sarasate, Clara Boj, Diego Diaz, Pitscher, Giacomo Piazzi, and myself.
I find it exceptional that this endeavor is organised by an institution historically responsible for laying the first telecommunication and internet cables across the Atlantic, connecting Europe to the Americas.

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the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone.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'.

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.
