Channel Radiance : Gery Georgieva

1 Feb-9 Feb 2020

Overview

UWU Channel Radiance: Gery Georgieva Supported by Cubitt Artists, a custom algorithm has been produced in which to forecast the next phase of the organization’s archive. By inputting the past 30 years of Cubitt’s institutional history into a custom machine learning software, entirely new archive materials have been generated ranging from press releases to speculative artist bios up to the year 3000. Responding to the data generated by the algorithm, Gery Georgieva presents UWU Channel Radiance, a multi-media installation of video and sculptural works. Loaded with historical and mythological motifs, Georgieva uses source material from European iconography, broadcast television, and nightclub culture to employ tropes from classical painting to contemporary popular culture as the archive embodied.
