The meeting point for the tour is in front of the project space.
In the conversation accompanying the exhibition, kennedy+swan offer insight into their artistic exploration of data-driven diagnostics, humanity’s fantasies of immortality, and a medical system increasingly shaped by efficiency and market-driven logic.
In the field of AI in medicine, emerging technologies make it possible to collect, visualize, and analyze data from inside the human body. In their works kennedy+swan explore how such machines recognize and classify aquarelles — which imitate human tissue samples — as potentially diseased tissue scans. And show how the systems tend to provide plausible diagnoses instead of admitting insecurities.
In exchange with the audience, we focus on the following questions: What does it mean to open up the body to algorithmic systems? How do our senses of responsibility and trust change when machines interpret what is (supposedly) the inner working of our bodies?
