Plus Ultra presents new works by Maya Man, Lucia Rebolino, Penny Slinger and Jess Starns, the first artists in residence at DATALAND, developed over six months with Refik Anadol Studio and Google Arts & Culture, some using AI as a tool and others treating it as a subject.
Maya Man's Forever & Always, Everything, Yours collages pop lyrics containing those four words into a karaoke installation, with an instrumental soundtrack generated by an AI model in real time.
Lucia Rebolino's twelve-channel Mean Prognosticator questions the truth claims of AI forecasting models, whose statistical training can smooth extreme weather events toward the mean.
Penny Slinger turns The 64 Dakini Oracle, a project rooted in the 64 Yogini temples of India and developed over decades, into a seven-channel, temple-like enclosure with collages and objects.
Jess Starns' Picture Palace, a single projection of archival silent film and AI-restored film, starts from the film history of Brighton & Hove and asks at what point restoration becomes something new.
The residents were chosen from more than 500 applicants and had access to DATALAND's computing infrastructure and its Large Nature Model, an open-source generative AI model trained on nature data.
Entry is free, Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm.
