THE THINKING MACHINE. PRESENTING PIONEERS, 1953-2023 | NFTS

PHILLIP TOLEDANO | ANOTHER AMERICA

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">EXPANDED.ART presents the group exhibition A BEATING HEART. FEMALE PIONEERS OF DIGITAL ART on view in Berlin 17 May to 4 June 2023.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The exhibition explores how female artists at the forefront of digital art approach the male-dominated field in a variety of mediums such as AI, AR, video, poetry, and sculpture. 16 artists delve into our relationship with technology, dissolve the boundaries of the female body, deal with young femininity and the burden of its expectations, draw a portrait of </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">the collision of committed love, exhaustion, and desire, and ask us to consider what we truly value.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><meta charset="utf-8"> <strong>ARTISTS</strong><span>: Gretchen Andrew, Ana María Caballero, Carla Gannis, Claudia Hart, Tali Hinkis (LoVid), Sophie Kahn, Martina Menegon, Marjan Moghaddam, Oona, Operator, Chiara Passa, Kelly Richardson, Anne Spalter, Sasha Stiles, Addie Wagenknecht, and Kathrin Wessling.</span></span></p>

FEMINISM AND VIRTUALITY

MARTINA MENEGON: EXPLORING DIGITAL BODIES AND IDENTITIES

"Even though I use my avatars to gain self-awareness and heal from the complicated relationship with my physical self, there are times when I wish I could leave my physical body and be them instead." – Martina Menegon

The acronym NFT stands for "non-fungible token." NFTs certify that a digital asset is unique and therefore not interchangeable. If you collect NFTs, you purchase tokens and the objects associated with them. The NFT is stored on the blockchain; it is unique, authenticated, and cannot be forged. EXPANDED.ART offers NFTs minted by artists on the Ethereum blockchain. The NFTs can be traded on decentralized marketplaces such as OpenSea and Rarible.

<p>EXPANDED.ART is pleased to present RECOLLECTION. AI AND MEMORY in collaboration with The NFT Gallery at their galleries in New York and London, 11 April – 13 May 2023.<br><br data-mce-fragment="1">19 artists explore the idea of further challenging the concreteness of human memory—personal or collective—through creative collaboration with AI. Memories are nebulous.<br data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1">Scientific studies and phenomena such as "The Mandela Effect" have shown that humans rarely recall things in their unbiased exactitude. Artificial Intelligence already assists human memory in the form of predictive text and GPS navigation. One would surmise that there exists a role for AI when it comes to supplementing even more complex memory.<br><span><strong><br>RECOLLECTION.

<div dir="ltr" data-mce-fragment="1">The visual representation of the JONAS LUND TOKEN has taken different shapes and forms since its inauguration on March 21, 2018. JONAS LUND TOKEN (JLT) is a distributed decentralized autonomous artistic practice that aims to optimize and streamline the decision-making process in art production and the strategic decisions concerning Lund’s career path. The JLT shareholders participate in the decision-making process by casting votes on proposals and through discussions on the JLT website. As the career path of Lund improves and his market value increases, so does the value of a JLT, thus allowing board members to profit through dividends and potential sales of the tokens.</div>
