“Hvis vi taler om, hvad det er for nogle mennesker, der skaber den her teknologi, og hvad de vil med den, så kan vi alle sammen forholde os til det.” Sådan sagde kurator, forfatter og specialist i kunst og teknologi, Majken Overgaard, da vi i sidste uge talte om kunst og kunstig intelligens til Charlottenborgs Kaffeklub. Her blev der diskuteret, hvordan den hastige teknologiske udvikling påvirker vores kunst, liv og samfund, og forfatter og professor Anders Søgaard var ikke i tvivl: ”Vi er hvad vi var på vildmarken, hvis det ikke var for kultur og alt det teknologi, som vi omgiver os med.” Så selvom udviklingen går stærkt, så er teknologien en uundgåelig del af vores verden – som billedkunstner og ph.d. Nanna Debois Buhl pointerede: ”Algoritmen ikke i sig selv god eller ond. Det kommer an på, hvad vi gør med den.” Tak til: @lisbethbp, @majken_overgaard, @nannadeboisbuhl, @ceciliefalkenstrom, @mereteprydshelle, Anders Søgaard, @sofiehvitved, @lene_reedtz_johansen, @karinalykkesborg, @jeppebr, @brettonmeyer, @jeanniehaltrup, @michellekorbo #charlottenborgskaffeklub #bikubenfonden #kunsthalcharlottenborg

”Vores fundamentale forståelse af skaberkraft - som værende rent menneskeligt - er udfordret. Men vi har ’bare’ at gøre med et nyt sprog. Vi har brug for et fælles sprog.” Sådan indledte seniorrådgiver ved Institut for Fremtidsforskning, Sofie Hvitved, den 11. udgave af Charlottenborgs Kaffeklub om kunst og kunstig intelligens. I tråd med dette handlede samtalen i det første panel om behovet for et mere nuanceret syn på teknologien, hvor Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm, Merete Pryds Helle og Lisbeth Bech-Nielsen var enige om, at teknologi er en fast del af vores liv. Panelet fastslog, at vi mangler en demokratisk dialog om, hvordan vi skaber, anvender og styrer teknologien til at håndtere fælles problemer og sammen kan skabe de liv og det samfund, vi drømmer om i fremtiden. 🔗 Se hele Charlottenborgs Kaffeklub via link i bio Tak til: @lisbethbp, @majken_overgaard, @nannadeboisbuhl, @ceciliefalkenstrom, @mereteprydshelle, Anders Søgaard, @sofiehvitved, @lene_reedtz_johansen, @karinalykkesborg, @jeppebr, @brettonmeyer, @jeanniehaltrup, @michellekorbo #charlottenborgskaffeklub #bikubenfonden #kunsthalcharlottenborg

Come by and experience the interactive video installation 'Faces of ImageNet', which problematizes the use of facial recognition technologies. In his work, the American artist Trevor Paglen uses the well-known facial recognition data set, ImageNet, to categorise gallery visitors in real time. As persons receive various tags, the work exposes the system’s latent prejudices. In the video, exhibition curator Nadim Samman talks about the work and artificial intelligence technologies such as facial recognition raising important data ethical dilemmas. Experience the work as part of our current exhibition 'Poetics of Encryption', which is on view until 12 January. #poeticsofencryption #trevorpaglen #facesofimagenet #kunsthalcharlottenborg

Francis Upritchard is inspired by climate change, sci-fi, and the hierarchy of scale in the art world. When the New Zealand artist was in Copenhagen she talked to @louisianachannel about materials and working from your intuition in her exhibition ‘Any Noise Annoys an Oyster’ at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. 🔗 See the link in bio for the full interview #francisupritchard #anynoiseannoysanoyster #louisianachannel #kunsthalcharlottenborg

”When you distort perception perhaps you are really changing reality itself” The eight legged cat in the exhibition Poetics of Encryption is a physical recreation of a well-known ‘panorama-fail meme’ – created when the panorama function on a phone camera distorts the photographed body – and offers a portrait of how digital technologies distort ‘real life'. Hear curator @nadim.samman tell about the work ’Panorama Cat’ (2022) in the video.
