Event overview
A work-in-progress exhibition by students on Goldsmiths' MA/MFA Computational Art.
Echosystems explores the idea of a computational reality, a medium where fiction and IRL experiences merge to create a new interactive dimension. This larger-than-life investigation takes many shapes, and is probed through many different angles and techniques.
This event will be Loud and Bright and Includes strobes
> Where: Weston Atrium, basement of Professor Stuart Hall Building
> When: 4pm-7pm Thursday 10 May 2018
> 8pm-10pm after party at Buster Mantis (Deptford SE8 4NT), where students will perform live computational work.
In some ways, the works presented appear to be a sort of ghostly shadow or echo of a "real" thing, a kind of artificial ersatz. However, the materialisation and transmutation of data, human-computer interactivity, robotics and machine learning are proposed here as mediums to both create and go beyond the mirage, the distortion, the matrix. Here the echo becomes a tangible reality, a new vector of possibilities.
Furthermore, the systems paradigm is at the very core of the computational arts practice. Through the embodiment of this theory, small, individual parts expand the potentialities of the whole ad infinitum. A new ever-changing horizon appears.
Amongst the ever-increasing privatisation and peddling of data, and the vacuous and mercenary attitudes of those writing the algorithms, Echosystems promotes a more symbiotic relationship of biological opposites, aiming to nurture new ways of understanding human and computer agency, and re-inventing practices that so far have belonged to the “soul-bearers”.
