Institute for Southern Contemporary Art

Tags
Description (in English)

The Institute for Southern Contemporary Art is a long-term project that aims todevelop an experimental platform for artists and cultural producers throughresults derived from machine learning and art market data. Drawing from climatechange disasters and the use of algorithmic analysis, the video portrays adystopian future where the creation of art is tied to its market consumption.Although ISCA’s mission seems disconcerting, it also strikes as strangelyfamiliar. Is ISCA simply looking to join the likes of existing programs such asArtRank and Art Advisor, or does it rather wish to shed light on the possiblepitfalls of these endeavours? Doubt is at the core of this proposition.
