What choices do we have? What do we choose in a conflict of interest?
"We need skeptics, and we need those who immediately embrace everything new, regardless of whether it's truly better or not." – Mario Klingemann
Mario Klingemann, as an artist, is constantly confronted with conflicts of interest. For decades, he has been driven by a curiosity for new technologies. Before the long-term consequences can even be anticipated, he experiments and tests. In art history, it has often been about being the first.
The German artist Mario Klingemann is among those who began working early with data and systems, artificial intelligence, and algorithms, reflecting on authorship and autonomy. In Berlin, as part of the exhibition "Conflict of Interest," curated by Anika Meier, he will present a focused insight into his work from recent years to the present.
In partnership with Art on Tezos.
