Introduction
What does it mean to live together in digitally mediated isolation? Recent Changes considers the potential of the internet as a public space for community gathering, while widening our understanding of ‘community’. As communicative operations move online, the entrenchment of disciplinary capitalist politics within these spaces becomes increasingly apparent. This project considers the ways we can circumvent the individualizing, commodifying qualities of our online spaces to explore otherwise positive forms of relationality, intimacy and solidarity.
Recent Changes is an online project consisting of artists Oscar Alfonso, Simon Fuh, Matt Nish-Lapidus, Sophia Oppel and Hearth - a new artist-run space in Toronto, co-directed by Benjamin de Boer, Rowan Lynch, Sameen Mahboubi and Philip Leonard Ocampo.
I'm Feeling Lucky
by Philip Leonard Ocampo & Matt Nish-Lapidus
Using the relations dataset as the basis for automated found image assemblage, I'm Feeling Lucky creates unique real-time image sets for each of the 15000+ terms in the dataset. The set of terms is laid out on a single page as links, flowing to fill the screen. Each link leads to a collage/assemblage of images found through using the phrase as an image search, and arranging the results.
Matt Nish-Lapidus, in collaboration with Philip Leonard Ocampo, are addressing the human labour behind machine learning, specifically aggregated data-sets that quantify and itemize the different types of relationships between objects/subjects in images online. I'm Feeling Lucky considers (and unravels) the linguistic poetics of code, and address the implications of addressing the human on an in-human scale.
test page
by Benjamin de Boer & Sophia Oppel
Sophia Oppel, in collaboration with Benjamin de Boer, will create a navigable webspace that examines online environments as sites of hostile architecture, manufacturing desire in the hyper-capitalization of online interfaces. test page seeks to create the equivalent of a digital public space in which to loiter and consider the politics of the background, and the supposedly transparent or invisible.
