We are happy to announce that UmArts Postdoc Daniel Shanken will exhibit his video installation “The Pit” as a finalist for the Re:Humanism Art Prize. The exhibition Timeline Shift, a group exhibition of the fourth edition of the Re:humanism Art Prize, curated by Daniela Cotimbo, will open on June 18th at Fondazione Pastificio Cerere in Rome.
The prize was established in 2018 by the cultural association Re:humanism to explore the relationship between art and artificial intelligence, , and it is open to all professional artists, without any limits of age or geographical origins.
The exhibition will feature the works of the ten finalists selected through the open call launched last winter, who have tackled the theme of time with originality and critical spirit, as well as the winner of the APA Prize. Through a profound reflection on artificial intelligence, the projects displayed question the Western view on time – linear, progressive and functional to productivity – in order to propose a plural, synchronic and ritual reinterpretation of it.
Timeline Shift aims to challenge the extractive logics of data and resources that drive AI development today, paving the way for more ethical, sustainable and inclusive technological models. The works present speculative, poetic and political perspectives, capable of deconstructing dominant value systems and generating new horizons of thought.
