Deep Talk: House of Mirrors

“Enter the hall of mirrors, which reflects human reality, sometimes in direct reflections, sometimes in a distorting mirror, sometimes through a glass pane that promises transparency or a semi-transparent mirror that reflects on one side and is translucent on the other.”
(Inke Arns, Marie Lechner, Francis Hunger – curators)

The exhibition “House of Mirrors” can be seen until July 31 at the Hartware Medienkunstverein in Dortmund (HMKV). It shows the works of more then twenty artists who intensively deal with the myth of artificial intelligence. A critical as well as entertaining border crossing that wants to show that artificial intelligence is a conglomerate of stochastics, hypocrisy and manipulation.

In this clip you’ll see among others the curators of the exhibition: Inke Arns, Marie Lechner and Francis Hunger

On display are works by Aram Bartholl, Pierre Cassou-Noguès, Stéphane Degoutin, Sean Dockray, Jake Elwes, Anna Engelhardt, Nicolas Gourault, Adam Harvey + Jules LaPlace and Libby Heaney
