Dismantling The House Tech Built:
Mimi Ọnụọha
If our deepest selves are increasingly exhumed through data collection, processing, and automation, the massive impacts of blackbox algorithms on work, education, romance, nutrition, political leadership, and even notions of selfhood should occasion widespread alarm. In 2017, artist and researcher Mimi Ọnụọha wrote a GitHub post reflecting on algorithmic violence, a term she coined to describe how probabilistic code aggravates structural vulnerability. Turning away from Big Tech’s dominant technological imaginary, the Brooklyn-based artist entwines low-tech source materials in digital infrastructures to yield more expansive narratives for social existence and to surface the contradictory logics at the heart of corporate utopianism.

Pollen, 2021, Caroline Corbasson
CAROLINE CORBASSON, tracing the stars
Caroline Corbasson explores monumental questions on both micro and macroscopic scales. She collaborates with astrophysicists and neuroscientists to render technical knowledge accessible, while highlighting the beauty of what is factually known through science and the obscurity of what is unknown. After all, many of these scientists are searching for the origins of life, which arguably carries mysticism and spirituality within it. This undertaking is pursued through a solitary studio practice, but also through the physical exploration of ethereal locations largely inaccessible to the public.

Shifting Persepective
AN INTERVIEW WITH
OLIVER BEER
Oliver Beer’s installations, performances, and sculptures welcome the possibility for new perspectives. They are invitations to listen carefully to the world around us, to question and enhance our senses, and distract them from the cultural and sensorial signifiers that we have long been conditioned with.

Reaching Beyond
AN INTERVIEW WITH
JAKOB KUDSK STEENSEN
By collaborating with field biologists, NGO’s, researchers, and artists across all disciplines, Jakob Kudsk Steensen creates ecological simulations that envelop the senses and elicit connectivity to an environment. They are played on VR headsets, in large scale installations, and through augmented reality on cell phones. After periods of research, he ventures into rural landscapes for months at a time, where he quite literally plunges in.
