More about this event

In contemporary life, everyday actions such as searching, moving, consuming, and communicating are constantly collected as data, analysed, and returned to us in optimised forms. While algorithms make our lives more convenient, this convenience comes at a cost: our choices and decisions are quietly anticipated in advance, potentially undermining our sense of agency. Artist John Cage once said, “We learn, change, develop, and grow when we engage with the world and act in unexpected ways.” By stepping back from human-centred systems and re-examining the randomness embedded in everyday life, might we open up other possibilities? Algorithmic Randomness presents works that move between algorithms and randomness through media art, performance, and workshops. Starting from urban space, everyday actions, and ordinary events, the exhibition reveals correlations and biases, as well as what slips through the processes of datafication and optimisation. This exhibition does not seek to resist algorithms outright. Rather, by remaining within them and moving back and forth between order and chance, it invites us to reconsider how we perceive our daily lives and the world around us.
