Description
FUTURE-PROOF is an open series of talks that puts accessibility and sustainability at the centre of discussion about innovation. The series highlights the resources already in the works that can help our surroundings and communities thrive. Believing that the implementation of care is a matter of future-proofing, one innovation per session, we explore prototypes in development, emerging and established artistic practices, and businesses.
Compiler is a digital art collective whose artistic and curatorial practice investigates socio-political challenges in digital culture. Possibilities of digital art, curation, learning, and research are explored as part of a process of discovery through technological experiences. Creating accessible works and events through which audiences with different levels of technical awareness can delve deeper into digital technologies that shape day-to-day experience.
In their talk, Compiler (Tanya Boyarkina and Oscar Cass-Darweish) will discuss the hybrid and hidden roles they take on while curating and producing projects that demystify complex technological processes through playful, collaborative and participative formats. They embed digital learning (learning with and about digital technologies) into projects that require experimental digital outputs within institutions, and, with the help of fellow artists, interrogate emerging technologies and their limits. Introducing ‘Cryptobar’, ‘Are / You / Actually’, and ‘Time of Flight’, Tanya and Oscar will discuss how these projects provided entry points to people of different ages and abilities to issues around cryptography and various forms of surveillance.
They will also delve deeper into more recent ongoing projects. In particular with NEO Collections (a joint project between the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, the Übersee-Museum Bremen and the Nationalmuseum Sweden), where they are collaborating with artists on the production of digital interfaces and web-based prototypes for projects aiming to rethink the way digital museum collections are curated, enriched and accessed to help make them relevant to audiences.
The talk will be followed by informal chat and drinks.
