Cirio uses art to create participatory<br \/>\nmodels designed to redistribute knowledge and subject it to a<br \/>\nprocess of collective critical awareness. He calls this practice<br \/>\n\u201cRegulation Art\u201d, i.e. a form of art that aims to produce, through<br \/>\ndemocratic regulation methods, actions of real change in<br \/>\ncontrast to the deregulation that neoliberalism typically<br \/>\nenforces. His works take the form of installations, lectures,<br \/>\nartifacts, photos, videos and public art interventions, online<br \/>\nand offline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>SOCIALITY (2018)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sociality is a large composition of posters on a wall. To create<br \/>\nthis work, Cirio used the Google Patents search engine to<br \/>\ncollect data from over 20,000 patents for algorithms, devices,<br \/>\nonline platforms and interfaces \u2013 all registered between 1998<br \/>\nand 2018 and all related to technologies that influence users\u2019<br \/>\nrelational habits in subtle ways, manipulating their social<br \/>\nbehaviors and fostering control and surveillance.<br \/>\nThese are solutions used, for example, by social media and<br \/>\nonline advertising. In order to inform the public about how<br \/>\nthese technologies work, Cirio decided to make the patents<br \/>\navailable on the Sociality.today website, after assessing and<br \/>\ngrouping them into the following categories: discrimination,<br \/>\nbias, addiction, deception, and surveillance. Users can<br \/>\ninteract with the website\u2019s interface proactively: they can<br \/>\nsearch and view patents, flag them, ban them, or add new<br \/>\nones. Thus, Cirio delivers a twofold critique: on the one<br \/>\nhand, he reveals how these algorithms and devices work,<br \/>\nshowing that the negative consequences of their use must<br \/>\nbe attributed to the intentions of those who developed them<br \/>\nand not to a \u201cblack box\u201d that is beyond human control; on the<br \/>\nother hand, he overturns the legal mechanisms designed to<br \/>\nprotect intellectual property, by transforming them into a tool<br \/>\nfor ethical control in the hands of the community of users.<br \/>\nTo create the posters showcased in the exhibition, the artist<br \/>\ncombined the names of the patents collected on the website<br \/>\nwith images of their respective flowcharts.<\/p>\n<p>_____________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Eva e Franco Mattes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">BIOGRAFIA \/ BIOGRAPHY<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Renowned as pioneers of Net Art, Italian artists Eva and Franco<br \/>\nMattes (1976) form a duo based in Brescia and New York.<br \/>\nTheir career began in the 1990s when, under the pseudonym<br \/>\n0100101110101101.org, they took an interest in the spread of the<br \/>\nInternet and in the effects that hyper-connection produces<br \/>\non daily life and on the human dimension. Interested in the<br \/>\nphenomena that characterize Network Society, Eva and<br \/>\nFranco Mattes explore what happens when we entrust our<br \/>\nmemory to computers to store data online, how the web has<br \/>\nchanged the boundaries between public and private spaces,<br \/>\nand how the ease of content reproduction on the Internet has<br \/>\nfurther challenged traditional categories like authorship and<br \/>\nauthenticity. Their aesthetics appropriates images and stylistic<br \/>\nfeatures that are immediately associated with the web: memes,<br \/>\nprogramming codes, websites, avatars, amateur photos and<br \/>\nvideos. Their practice plays with this sign system to bring out the<br \/>\ncontradictions underlying the functioning and use of the Internet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">THE BOOTS (2020)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bots is an installation built with three office desks, each one<br \/>\nwith a screen mounted on the back. The screens show videos<br \/>\nof people putting on make-up, alternating beauty advice and<br \/>\nstories from their work life. The latter focus on the tasks they<br \/>\ncarry out at a Facebook content moderation center in Berlin, and<br \/>\nthe desks used are by the same brand as the ones used in those<br \/>\noffices. The installation is inspired by videos that have gone viral<br \/>\non social media, which exploit the make-up tutorial format to<br \/>\nbypass censorship and spread protest information. This was the<br \/>\ntactic exploited, for example, by activist Feroza Aziz: in her TikTok<br \/>\nvideos \u2013 which were later censored by the platform \u2013 she spoke<br \/>\nout about the violence perpetrated against Uyghur Muslims in<br \/>\nXinjiang, a region in China. To make The Bots, the Mattes duo<br \/>\ncollaborated with journalist Adrian Chen for one year, interviewing<br \/>\nworkers and then asking actors and actresses to stage the<br \/>\ninterviews to ensure the anonymity of those involved. While<br \/>\nmany believe that posts by users on social media are viewed<br \/>\nby software and classified automatically, the task is actually<br \/>\nalso performed by real people, who are constantly subjected to<br \/>\nsensitive images. For the artists, the idea of make-up is somewhat<br \/>\nakin to content moderation on digital platforms: in both cases,<br \/>\nthe goal is to beautify the surface to hide something that is<br \/>\nundesirable.<\/p>\n<p>________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Brent Watanabe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">BIOGRAFIA \/ BIOGRAPHY<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brent Watanabe (1970) is an American artist who lives and<br \/>\nworks in Seattle. In his works, he combines interactive media<br \/>\nand digital materials typically used in gaming, electronics and<br \/>\nsoftware development.<br \/>\nWatanabe uses videogames\u2019 graphic engines to create virtual<br \/>\nworlds populated by synthetic agents, whose behavior results<br \/>\nfrom the interactions between artificial lives and therefore is<br \/>\nimpossible to predict.<br \/>\nHis installations and performances are an invitation to reflect on<br \/>\nthe issues tied to consumption and waste generated by human<br \/>\nbeings, and on the effects our society has on nature and animals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SAN ANDREAS STREAMING DEER CAM (2015-2016)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For San Andreas Streaming Deer Cam, Watanabe developed a<br \/>\nmodified version of the popular videogame Gran Theft Auto V.<br \/>\nThe modification introduces the character of a deer and follows<br \/>\nit as it moves in the approximately 260 square kilometers of the<br \/>\nfictitious San Andreas state, where the game is set.<br \/>\nThe deer has been programmed to be autonomous: it can move<br \/>\naround in the digital environment and interact with the people<br \/>\nand elements present in the virtual world of GTA V, without any<br \/>\nplayer controlling it. The work was presented for the first time as<br \/>\na live streaming video on the www.sanandreasanimalcams.com<br \/>\nwebsite, and recorded 800,000 visitors in its first three months.<br \/>\nThe images of the animal wandering in the city, under the eyes of<br \/>\nanyone observing it, are reminiscent of so-called animal webcams<br \/>\ninstalled in natural sites, broadcasting wild animals\u2019 daily life 24\/7,<br \/>\nin real time online. Our relationship with the deer has a similar<br \/>\nstructure: on the one hand, the animal lives in an environment<br \/>\nwhere we can follow it anywhere it goes, whatever it does; on the<br \/>\nother, even when nobody is watching, the deer continues to exist<br \/>\nand to interact with all the other software entities and inhabitants<br \/>\nthat live in its same world.<\/p>\n<p>_________________________<\/p>\n<p>TOY PROTOTYPE (2021)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Geumhyung Jeong<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">BIOGRAFIA \/ BIOGRAPHY<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Geumhyung Jeong (1980) was born in Seoul, where she lives<br \/>\nand works. Thanks to a hybrid education that encompassed<br \/>\ntheater, dance and animation, she has developed her research<br \/>\nat the crossroads of visual and performing arts, inspired by her<br \/>\nfascination for the interactions between humans and robots:<br \/>\nindeed, her imagination is populated by dummies, prosthetics,<br \/>\ngears and mechanical elements. Driven by this interest, Jeong<br \/>\ntaught herself the programming and mechatronics skills<br \/>\nnecessary to autonomously build humanoid robots that she<br \/>\ncan then control remotely. During her performances, Jeong<br \/>\nactivates these robots and interacts with them in intimate<br \/>\nand sensual ways. The result is a post-human world with a<br \/>\nsinister atmosphere, through which the artist questions, devoid<br \/>\nof any judgment, the connection between our bodies and<br \/>\nthe technological extensions that increasingly permeate our<br \/>\neveryday lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">TOY PROTOTYPE (2021)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2019, Geumhyung Jeong held an exhibition at Kunsthalle<br \/>\nBasel, Switzerland, under the title Homemade RC Toy.<br \/>\nOn that occasion, she created for the first time a performance<br \/>\nin which she activated self-made humanoid robots using her<br \/>\nbody; when the performance was not on, viewers could peer<br \/>\nat the robots, deactivated and helpless, in the museum spaces.<br \/>\nSince then, Jeong has continued to develop that project in<br \/>\nsubsequent iterations, with Toy Prototype representing a<br \/>\nfurther evolution. The work consists of a series of robotic<br \/>\nelements spread across a long table, in an arrangement<br \/>\nthat evokes both the typical setups of museum exhibitions<br \/>\nand the atmosphere of science labs. The robots\u2019 aesthetics<br \/>\nis intentionally imperfect and handcrafted, because Jeong,<br \/>\nrather than imitating an industrial result, wants to highlight<br \/>\nher creations\u2019 do-it-yourself nature. In this way, her machines<br \/>\nappear vulnerable and close to a human dimension, triggering<br \/>\nin viewers the impulse to care for them, as the artist does<br \/>\nduring her performances.<\/p>\n<p>________________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">James Bridle<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">BIOGRAFIA \/ BIOGRAPHY<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">James Bridle (1980) is an English artist, journalist and<br \/>\ntechnologist, living and working in Athens. Their art practice<br \/>\nfocuses on how digital technologies affect our behavior and<br \/>\nthe way we perceive the world, by blurring the lines between<br \/>\nwhat is real and what is virtual. Bridle\u2019s works explore issues<br \/>\nsuch as the presence of military and surveillance devices in<br \/>\npublic spaces, the ecological consequences of the Internet<br \/>\nand cloud systems, and the ethical implications of artificial<br \/>\nintelligence. Leveraging their expertise in computer science,<br \/>\nBridle builds devices programmed to achieve goals that<br \/>\nare different from those pursued by the hi-tech industry, to<br \/>\nthe point they are sometimes the complete opposite. Their<br \/>\nself-construction activity allows for a critical approach to<br \/>\ntechnology, as they use technical knowledge to explore new<br \/>\nand unusual possibilities. Bridle is also a writer and theorist:<br \/>\ntheir publications include New Dark Age (2018) and Ways of<br \/>\nBeing (2022), which examines the relationships between all<br \/>\npossible forms of intelligence (human, artificial, non-human).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AUTONOMOUS TRAP 001 (2017)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Autonomous Trap 001 consists of a photograph and a salt<br \/>\ncircle traced on the floor. The circle is meant to be a sign that<br \/>\nself-driving cars can read, and works as a trap: in a layby near<br \/>\nMount Parnassus, Greece, Bridle traced a double line that<br \/>\ntheir vehicle interpreted as a road sign. Once the car entered<br \/>\nthe circle, it was trapped because the rules in its algorithm<br \/>\nprevented it from moving. The work is part of a larger project<br \/>\nby the artist, during which they transformed their own car into<br \/>\na self-driving vehicle adding a series of sensors and devices.<br \/>\nHowever, while in the automotive industry the goal of research<br \/>\nis to teach cars to follow a predetermined path, Bridle instructs<br \/>\nthe car to get lost.
