Speculative Futures: Times Tables [Group Exhibition]

Speculative Futures: Art, AI, and Digital Worldmaking [Group Exhibition]

This symposium, inspired by work by Mashinka Firunts Hakopian for the exhibition Encoding Futures: Critical Imaginaries of AI, "considers how contemporary artists render algorithmic harms visible, and imagine speculative futures optimized for just outcomes"

  • What role can love play in technological world-building, in this more-than-human landscape?

  • How do we consider creative authorship in a post-internet practice?

  • What does prediction and speculation mean in our practices and our lives in a time of political, ecological and technological indeterminacy?

  • Is it empowering to be a cyborg?

Throughout the last couple of years I have been experimenting at the intersection of art, coding, and mathematics. These two pieces highlight the inherent beauty of these combinations, as well as how one can engage through trial and error and make something unique.
