SUMMARY:Opening Reception for "Selective Attention: Interventions into the Computational Gaze"
DESCRIPTION:“Selective Attention: Interventions into the Computational Gaze”\nFeaturing the work of Kelsey Halliday Johnson\, Lisa Marie Patzer and Roopa Vasudevan \nOpening reception: October 18\, 2022\n5:15pm – 7:00pm\nAnnenberg School for Communication\, Room 500\n3620 Walnut St\, Philadelphia\, PA\n\nThe opening reception is open to the public. More event info here.\nAlgorithms and computation are driving more and more of our daily decision-making processes than ever before. The digital\, in many ways\, can almost be considered a filter: guiding the choices we make and the opportunities we are allowed to see\, rendering certain practices hypervisible and “natural” while obscuring others. \nThis exhibition features three artists with deep connections to Philadelphia\, who surface tensions between what is visible to the computer eye and what we are able to see and interpret as human beings. The work asks the viewer to consider how the intervention of the digital into practices that have traditionally centered human vision changes the way we see\, interpret and understand — and\, by the same token\, what could be possible if humans insisted on claiming their own gaze within processes that attempt to exclude them altogether. \nThis exhibition was organized by Roopa Vasudevan. \n \nHere’s a list of books we chose for the exhibit: \n• ‘Blockchain Chicken Farm’ by Xiaowei Wang (2020) \n• ‘A Hacker Manifesto’ by Mackenzie Wark (2004) \n• ‘The Stack: On Software and Sovereignty’ by Benjamin H.
