Broken Machines & Wild Imaginings. | Eine Ausstellung der JUNGEN AKADEMIE | 02.03.-09.07.2023

Editors’ Choice

The exhibition “Broken Machines & Wild Imaginings” presents ten new installations by fellows of the JUNGEN AKADEMIE, who artistically explore artificial intelligence. The focus is on speculative and experimental practices that articulate and question how power and ethics are dealt with in the context of AI.

The artists respond to the fragile reality of machines and their extractivist logic, algorithmic violence, and techno-solutionism with poetic worlds and playful concepts as well as strategies of repair. They develop alternative paradigms, histories, and imaginaries of technologies and a digital life beyond the systems of Big Tech. Themes range from deep-sea cables as historical conduits for power to indigenous technologies and cosmologies, AI-based models of humans, and queer and decolonial computing to the question of digital immortality. The expansive installations use the media of animation, video, computer game, drawing, sculpture, poster, sound/composition, and costume.
