TECHNOLOGY’S PROMISE TO AUTHENTICATE

Hard-Core, Luke Dormehl, Masha Mcconaghy, Sebastian Sschmieg & Jonas Lund

30 October 2016
14:30 — 16:30


Location: Theater Kikker
7 euro

Creativity can be outsourced and automated. One person’s data is another person’s intellectual property. How do networked distribution, generated content and open sourcing affect artistic processes? As an attempt to define authenticity on this basis, we will draw connections from authenticity to solution-based technologies and where these intersect with art/cultural practices.

HARD­CORE is an Amsterdam and London based artist­run organization operating non­hierarchically and non­authoritatively by delegating tasks algorithmically between collaborative parties.

It recently started an artist database supported by its robotic curator Asahi to organize exhibitions. HARD­CORE is kindly supported by the European Pavilion. Recent exhibitions and presentations include; TEXT2SPEECH: Proxy Politics As Withdrawal, ICA, London (UK, 2016); Bots, Bodies and Beasts, Studium Generale Rietveld Academie(NL, 2016); Asahi 4.0 Launch, Art Guard / OPENYOURKIMONO, London (UK, 2015); Strictly Digital, Alternativa, Wyspa Institute of Art, Gdansk (PL, 2015); Close your Eyes, LET GOOOOO, Ruimte Ceasuur (NL, 2014); IS IT ART OR IS IT JUST, NEW: ART CENTER, BWA Zielona Góra (PL, 2014); Logic if you want human if you like, Alpineum (CH, 2013).
