MA Curatorial Practice presents a talk with artist Lozano-Hemmer and curator Kathleen Forde. Internationally celebrated artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer uses digital technologies and machine learning to develop works of art that powerfully engage viewers in new ways to engage memories as individuals and collectively. His works point to the promise of intelligent machines while questioning what artificial memory production may also portend. In this talk, Lozano-Hemmer and curator Kathleen Forde will discuss the artist’s machine-mediated practice with a focus on his most recent immersive art environment, Atmospheric Memory, and its implications for surveillance, collective memory and border politics.
