|
|
<p>Increasingly our lives are lived within digital systems and infrastructures. Our online clicks and browsing habits are a key component of technical systems designed and optimised for profit through surveillance and tracking. Whether online shopping or browsing dating apps , these algorithmic systems not only track and predict but determine what information we see and what realities we make from it. Platform boosted disinformation has the capacity to influence elections and instigate riots, while AI generated images spread propaganda and anti-science clickbait turns profits. As software syncs across networks and platforms, and the economics of platforms become intrinsic to everyday life, our behaviour online increasingly conforms to data profiles and model user behaviour.</p>

<p>Unsettling the Algorithm: Seeds of Resistance questions this growing encapsulation of life, and asks how we can reclaim our agency within the systems that seek to control and influence us. Highlighting not only the mechanisms of control but also the subversive strategies that push against them, the works in the exhibition demonstrate the unfolding politics of extractive platforms and networks, and the possibilities for resistance and dissent within them. Imposing acts of defiance with and through technology, the artists show how subversive coding practices can challenge state surveillance, how virtual environments can reclaim marginalised cultural memory, or how wasting the time of CEOs and executives can make material gains against climate collapse. Moving beyond resistance and acting with new forms of agency, Unsettling the Algorithm subverts, resists and defies — demonstrating how opportunities for transformation still exist.</p>
