_Pitch
The installation offers a glimpse into the many mirror-like manifestations of our digital webs. Composed of the artifacts of the hyper-scaled technological abundance and obsolescence of our time, the piece forms a speculative infrastructure. It probes the vastness of our digital spaces to examines the societies they foster, by moving through the noisiness of raw machine learning models in real time and in interaction with the audience. Three distinct screen sculptures reflect on the kind of interactions emerging in our algorithmic environments, shaped by repetitive engagement with computational entities and our today’s desire to calculate, control, and predict. The installation draws the concept of a “programmed self”—the idea that our selves are increasingly molded by ongoing and constant engagement with algorithms.
