Works by Jonas Blume, Patricia Detmering, Bianca Kennedy
Curated by Gloria Aino Grzywatz and Peggy Schoenegge
In Cooperation With medienkunst e.V. - Verein für zeitgenössische Kunst mit neuen Medien
The third iteration of PARS PRO TOTO explores how self can be constructed with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. The artists Jonas Blume, Patricia Detmering and Bianca Kennedy offer AIs their private content or allow them to become an active agent of the artwork. They explore how AIs collect personal and convert data into another form of the artist’s identity. Their works blur fictional and factual personal data into a synthetic personality. Jonas Blume reconciles his own biography with Apple’s Siri, resulting in an uncanny yet seemingly personal narrative. Bianca Kennedy lets an intelligent computer proclaim its own thoughts and feelings about its environment and its users. In a personal soliloquy, Patricia Detmering philosophizes about the perception and dissolution of reality. The artworks in Mirror, Mirror consider the interaction between human and artificial intelligence. They question how today’s algorithms co-create and shape the identity of individuals. This process occurs every day as we are exposed to big data’s algorithms online. Our online identity seems to be a distorted mirror image existing independently from our real self, just like Snow White’s mirror becomes an independent-minded entity, shaping the actions of the person looking into it. What about our digital mirror image? Does it influence our self-perception and our actions?
peer to space’s curator and project manager Peggy Schoenegge moderated a panel with Patricia Detmering (Artist), Giorgio Vitale (Director Synthesis Gallery) and Li Zhenhua (Curator, Artists and Producer) on VR Art in China and the West for WISE 2020.
The talk will be streamed on August 29, 2020, 2:55 to 3:40 pm, CET Berlin.
WISE is a Future Think Tank. It is China’s most important global summit connecting thought leaders of the creative industries, science and the tech community on both sides of the Great Firewall to discuss essential questions about how we want and should live in the future.
