Data Dreams brings into focus a range of contemporary concerns, including the relationships between technology and power; how algorithms and datasets are influencing our worldviews and calling our perception of reality into question; and the immense environmental costs of the data economy. Other themes include the co-evolution of humans and machines; new perspectives on intelligence and agency; and what it means for technologies to simulate human cognition, to form memories, hallucinate and dream.
Data Dreams presents ambitious projects in a wide range of media, from the immersive and interactive to intimate reflections, each grappling with technology's impacts on humanity. Across a series of interconnected, experiential gallery spaces, visitors will discover how artificial intelligence is informing and shaping new forms of contemporary artistic practice. Artists to be announced in 2025.
