The exhibition and project Attention After Technology explores the role of algorithms today, the ways in which they affect us, and how we could imagine them otherwise, through newly commissioned works by seven international artists: biarritzzz (Brazil), Vivian Caccuri (Brazil), Shu Lea Cheang (USA/Taiwan), Kyriaki Goni (Greece), CUSS Group (South Africa), Femke Herregraven (Netherlands) and Berenice Olmedo (Mexico).
biarritzzz (b. 1994, lives and works in Recife, Brazil) is an anti-disciplinary transmedia artist who believes in magic and low resolution as important counter-narratives to live what she refers to as the current cosmological dispute of realities. She has exhibited in Pivô, A.I.R Gallery, The Wrong Biennale, FILE, The Shed NY, among others. Her works are represented in Rhizome Artbase (New Museum), KADIST Foundation, IMS, and MIS-SP (Museu da Imagem e do Som de São Paulo) permanent collections.
María Inés Rodríguez is a French-Colombian curator. She is currently Director of the Walter Leblanc Foundation in Brussels and serves as a curator at large for Modern and Contemporary Art at MASP – Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand. In parallel, Rodríguez is part of Tropical Papers, an inclusive cultural forum, which she founded in 2005, dedicated to developing a reflection on art, architecture, design and scientific research with practitioners from and in the tropics. Her career includes leadership roles at institutions like CAPC Musée d’Art Contemporain in Bordeaux, MUAC in Mexico City, MUSAC in Spain, and Jeu de Paume in Paris. Since 2017, she is Member of the Martell Foundation’s Board in France, Member of the jury of The Lise Wilhelmsen Art Award Programme 2019-2024 at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter in Norway. She also advises the Rijksakademie van Beeldende in Amsterdam and the KADIST Foundation in Paris.
The online talk series is a collaboration with Tropical Papers’ [SUNDAY BRUNCH]. Intended as an intersectional laboratory, [SUNDAY BRUNCH] is an online meeting place where we are invited to listen, observe, share and enjoy a sensitive experience through images, poetry, sound, cooking and dancing.
