Part of the Continuing Education and the CoCreate program at HGK Basel, hosted by Ann Mbuti.
Winnie Soon and CML’s Helen V. Pritchard contributed the piece Queer Motto API Manual: To Know Exactly How Many Times to Cry to the reader “Curating Superintelligences”, the latest in the “DATA browser” book series.
Edited by Joasia Krysa and Magdalena Tyżlik-Carver, the volume examines how computational technologies, rapid developments in AI, and the reassertion of subaltern knowledges are reshaping the contemporary curatorial field. It poses questions about the implications of these “super-intelligences” for contemporary art and culture, and the new possibilities for curatorial practice and its future forms.
Invited by the Make/Sense PhD programme at CML, researcher and publisher Sezgin Boynik will be a guest in the Atelier Mondial residency program in January.
