During this evening programme, artists and researchers will be your guide in the strange world of algorithms. As humans increasingly delegate labour to ‘smart’ computer systems, it’s time to reevaluate how we relate to the algorithmic species. Do they engage in ‘smart’ or ‘primitive’ behaviour? How autonomous are they, and what moral grounds have been embedded in them? From obscure high frequency traders to personable writers of prose, Algorithmic Wildlife will not just regard algorithms as alien systems of computation, but as performers, companions, esoteric experiments and curious specimens.
Artists and researchers An Mertens, RYBN and Sjef van Gaalen will guide us through the current and future manifestations of the algorithmic species. The narratives developed in the talks will form the starting points for a debate on the power structures embedded in algorithmic culture. Renowned curator, researcher and blogger Michelle Kasprzak [CA/NL] will introduce the topic of the event and lead the panel discussion.
