fxhash invites generative art community for 2.0 launch talks in Goa from 6 PM IST on December 5th as part of part of this.generation - an exhibition of code base art practices.
Curated programme presents generative art conversations with John Simon Jr. discussing the evolution of code based arts practices along with Timeblur collective, Anushka Trivedi and Karthik Dondeti. Moderated by curator and artist Srinivas Mangipudi.
The event is hosted at Sunaparanta Goa Art Center for the Arts by the address: 63/C-8, Altinho, near Army House, Panaji, Goa 403001, India. The entrance is free / no RSVP required.
fxhash 2.0 x this.generation
“this.generation” realised by Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts is curated by Srinivas Mangipudi. This exhibition probes this aspect of what is generative in a process of generation in code based arts, as with various other mediums such as drawing, sculpture, performance, sound, music and so on thus converging various practices into a singular view so as to maybe glance upon a unified vision of where art originates from. As we hurtle towards a future complex world influenced by autonomous systems and AI, it becomes vital to create access to be able to consider that perhaps all these manifestations are at the core guided by universal algorithmic underpinnings. This has critical implications for how we understand semantics, semiotics and language in a post-autonomous age.
Curator’s Note:
The general perception is that computation is a way for machines to function, but it is not intuitively understood that our bodies are also computational devices, that algorithms are autonomous decision making programs embedded in the cell structures and our genetic code, and that we also depend on structural modalities for communicating, transmitting knowledge, forms of play, or that programming is intricately woven in the fabric of life.
With the world becoming increasingly complex everyday aided by visions of a techno-sociological future, it becomes critical for us to collectively comprehend how to embody generative processes and methods, to take stock and create access via human interfaces into a mechanistic future.
This exhibition takes this opportunity to present generative art as an extension of algorithmic processes that everyone already uses intuitively and to surface an expanded notion of emergent knowledge that can act as our collective guiding principles.
