GLOBAL ART FORUM 16: SENSING PREDICTION

GLOBAL ART FORUM 16: PREDICTING THE PRESENT
SENSING PREDICTION

Artist Refik Anadol and Smell Researcher/Artist Sissel Tolaas
Hosted by Artistic Director, the Serpentine Hans Ulrich Obrist and Global Art Forum Commissioner Shumon Basar

The clear relationship between the past, present and future feels like it’s in a process of redefinition once again. Refik Anadol’s acclaimed work uses vast data sets and artificial intelligence to paint computational pictures both familiar and uncanny. While Sissel Tolaas investigates the non-visible realm of smell, scientifically, culturally and politically. If our senses are our interfaces with the world, what senses are we losing and gaining in these digitally determined times? These diverse panelists discussed their predictions for the digital future.
