without art, science is nothing

The Murmuring Algorithm of the Triangle of the Future: Art, Science, and Artificial Intelligence in Reshaping Creativity, Authenticity, and Memory

We might wonder if algorithms, capable of processing vast amounts of data and revealing hidden patterns, have not become a kind of electronic ears listening to our whispers. Art, science and artificial intelligence (AI) form a dynamic triangle that, in the contemporary context, challenges traditional notions of creativity, authorship, authenticity, truth, knowledge and historical memory. These new technologies are not mere neutral tools; they constitute systems deeply imbricated in patterns of power, cultural biases and economic structures that affect both artistic practice and our collective ability to construct and preserve historical memory.

Join us to listen to the murmuring algorithm with Spanish artist and activist Daniel G. Andújar.

Time: 2nd April 17:45 – 19:00

Artist Bio:

Daniel García Andújar is a visual artist, theorist, and activist known for his critical and subversive take on contemporary society. Using digital media and corporate communication strategies, his work challenges power structures and social inequalities, exposing the mechanisms of control beneath the illusion of media transparency. Operating at the intersection of urban space and the digital realm, Andújar employs irony and iconographic subversion to dissect power dynamics. A pioneer of Net.art, he co-founded the influential collective irational.org and created Technologies To The People™, a platform critiquing technology’s false promises and social impact.  His internationally acclaimed career includes exhibitions at major institutions like the Reina Sofía Museum, Venice Biennale, Manifesta Frankfurt, and Documenta Kassel. Among his awards are the Madrid Regional Photography Prize, the Gold Medal for Cultural Merit from his hometown, and the Miguel Hernández Prize for Alicante’s cultural figures. 

Daniel G. Andújar is currently taking up an artist residency at Duke Kunshan University, organized by dKunst Art on Campus curated by professor Zairong Xiang.
