Artist Dialogues I: Memory, History, Forgetting
With: Jenna Sutela, Shuang Li, Lauren McCarthy, and Emmanuel Van der Auwera
We open the Opening Dialogues for A Cosmic Movie Camera with artists Jenna Sutela, Shuang Li, Lauren McCarthy, and Emmanuel Van der Auwera. These four artists explore memory encoding, genetic legacy, entrainment, warfare and deep learning , neural radiance fields, and the suggestive power of a stock image, through their new films, ambitious video sculptures, and one ‘neuroactive installation’. We take a passage from Paul Ricouer’s seminal Memory, History, Forgetting as a touchpoint for all four artists’ investigations.
Before and after the conversation, visitors are warmly invited to experience Sutela’s Sharp wave, ripples, Lee McCarthy’s Saliva Retreat, Li’s My Way Home Is Through You, and Van de Auwera’s VideoSculpture XXX (The Gospel), and explore the rest of BIM’24.
