I samband med utställningen Bugs & Metamorphosis: Glitching Photography på Hasselblad Center anordnar vi under våren två filmvisningar på Bio Roy i Göteborg, med filmer som undersöker och knyter an till utställningens centrala teman och perspektiv.

Denna visning fokuserar på Machine Vision och inkluderar två filmer, Dr. Frida med fotografen och konstnären Frida Lisa Carstensen Jersø samt What do you see, YOLO9000? av konstnärsgruppen Taller Estampa.

Efter visningen deltar Frida Lisa Carstensen Jersø i ett kortare samtal tillsammans med Louise Wolthers och Nina Mangalanayagam, curatorer för utställningen.

Filmvisningen har fri entré och vi bjuder på macka och kaffe (begränsat antal). Filmerna och evenemanget är på engelska.

OM FILMERNA

Frida Lisa Carstensen Jersø
Dr. Frida (16 min) 

Dr. Frida is A autobiographical portrait through medical science composed of material taken from 12 years of diagnostic scans of the artist and video recordings from the hospital. The self-portrait through medical science contains PET-CT, CT, MR, and MRI scans of Frida Lisa Cartsensen Jersø. These scans are used by medical science primarily to observe the metabolic or biochemical function of tissues, bones, displaying bones, muscles, fat, organs, and blood vessels. The imaging procedure involves a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce detailed images of the inside of the body.

The video reveals and preserves everything from the artist’s brain to organs, metal, and screws, immortalizing her, and providing a visual documentation of the sick body. The video features a soundscape of recordings from the hospital, along with ambient and noise.

Taller Estampa
What do you see , YOLO9000? (14 min)

YOLO9000 is an object recognition neural network trained on a dataset of 9,418 words and millions of images. It is one of the many artificial vision tools being developed, designed for automatic image annotation.

What do you see, YOLO9000? is a heterodox audiovisual investigation of its mechanisms, its possibilities and its world. Based on the project The Bad Pupil. Critical pedagogy for artificial intelligences (Estampa, 2017-2018).

Estampa is an artistic collective of programmers, filmmakers and researchers based in Barcelona. Their practice is based on a critical and archaeological approach to audiovisual and digital technologies, with a particular focus on archival and experimental media. Since 2017, one of their main areas of research has been the exploration of the uses and ideologies of artificial intelligence.
