Shaping Data
Wilhelm-Hack-Museum, Ludwigshafen
The exhibition “Shaping Data” examines how the widespread use of digital technologies affects our bodies, shapes our opinions, and changes interpersonal relationships.
We spend a large part of our time with technical devices and often give away personal data that feed algorithms. These algorithms, in turn, decide what we see and hear.
The immediate feedback makes us assume that we are in control of both our own lives and the lives of others.
The selected artists critically analyze the relationship between the analog and the virtual world by finding new applications for existing technologies and trying to uncover patterns created by Artificial Intelligence. Because wherever there are biased people, there are biased images and biased algorithms that have sorted these images.
The exhibition Shaping Data also shows future scenarios in which our optimized bodies and lives become the new norm.
What does it mean to live as a human in a highly automated environment, and how can we process data in such a way that we create a more just world?
