Triennial Conversations | Quantum Memories

Описание: Quantum memories is Refik Anadol’s most technically and conceptually ambitious work to date. Commissioned by the NGV for Triennial 2020, the work draws upon a dataset of more than two hundred million nature-related images from the internet, which are processed using quantum computing software and a supercomputer programmed with machine learning algorithms.

Representing our collective memory of nature Quantum memories encourages us to imagine the immense potential for next level computing and artificial intelligence (AI) through Anadol’s large-scale, audio-visual artwork presented in NGV’s Federation Court.


Celebrating the opening of the NGV Triennial at NGV International, Anadol discusses the concept and creative process behind the artwork with NGV’s Curator of Contemporary Design and Architecture Simone LeAmon.

Speakers-

Refik Anadol is a media artist and director whose body of work locates creativity at the intersection of humans and machines. His site-specific parametric data sculptures, live audio/visual performances and immersive installations take many forms, while encouraging us to rethink our engagement with the physical world, its temporal and spatial dimensions, and the creative potential of the machine.

Simone LeAmon is the Hugh D. T Williamson Curator of Contemporary Design and Architecture at NGV and co-curates the department’s extensive program of commissioning, collecting, and exhibiting Australian and International contemporary design and architecture.
