HIBALL, Composition for Mnemosyne (still), 2024. Two-channel 4K video with sound.

DATA MINDS examines emerging processes and issues arising from technology, exploring how art can grapple with the rapidly developing field of Artificial Intelligence, and the pervasive influence of the Internet on modern society. With each artist incorporating or critiquing synthetic, AI or net-based media at the centre of their practice, this exhibition offers a timely exploration of rapidly evolving fields.

The artists may be seen as linked by common threads such as shared media, or through popular culture, conspiracy theories and ghosts. Physical works become embedded with fictions, uniting the subconscious and the digital; the imagined and the real. The only thing certain in DATA MINDS is that AI and the Internet exist in an undeniably human world: fallible, illogical, and driven by subconscious desires.

Opening night: 29 November 2024, 5.30-8.30pm.
