Algorithms and Code. Wisdom in a Calculated World
19.10.2022 – 07.05.2023
Group Exhibition
In recent years, the words “code” and “algorithms” have become increasingly ubiquitous in news pieces and conversations. We all take for granted their growing role in countless aspects of our lives, while remaining unaware of their nature and implications.
In an increasingly quantifiable and parameterised world, where algorithms make decisions in countless aspects of our lives such as work, leisure and health, the exhibition seeks to make this phenomenon and its implications understandable, generating questions and knowledge that encourage reflection and debate. Can algorithms guarantee greater neutrality and efficiency? Are they as free from human bias as we tend to think? How can we make our humanity prevail in a calculated world?
