Who is watching over whom? Adam Curtis nimmt das Zusammenspiel in seinem Dreiteiler aus dem Jahr 2011, der den Titel ebenfalls von Brautigans Gedicht entleiht, gewohnt kritisch-souver\u00e4n in den Blick: Die <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hkw.de\/en\/programm\/projekte\/2014\/anthropozaenprojekt_ein_bericht\/enzyklopaedie\/kalifornische_ideologie.php\"><strong>Californian Ideology<\/strong><\/a> als grosses Luftschloss und das naive Versprechen, dass Computer die Menschheit irgendwie w\u00fcrden befreien k\u00f6nnen (was, das zeigt sich bald 10 Jahre sp\u00e4ter noch einiges deutlicher, ganz und gar nicht geklappt hat). Curtis&#8217; Film l\u00e4uft als Teil der Ausstellung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/patricktresset.com\/new\/project\/human-study-1\/\"><strong>Patrick Tresset<\/strong><\/a> first sets up his portrait robot at <a href=\"https:\/\/oslonight.ch\/\"><strong>Oslo Night <\/strong><\/a>in the HeK and then brings it over to the symbiont space. Step by on September 27th if you would like to talk to the artist about his work, which has already been shown all over the world (Pompidou, Fondazione Prada, Tate Modern, MMCA Seoul, BOZAR Brussels, TAM Beijing, Mcam Shanghai, Mori Museum Tokyo). The opening of the exhibition will be on October 1st.<br><br><strong>All watched over by machines of loving grace<\/strong><br>Are we already living in symbiosis with machines? The poet Richard Brautigan couldn&#8217;t wait in 1967:<br><br>I&#8217;d like to think (and<br>the sooner the better!)<br>of a cybernetic meadow<br>where mammals and computers<br>live together in mutually<br>programming harmony<br>like pure water<br>touching clear sky.<br><br>Or did he mean that ironically? Anyone who lets himself be portrayed by Patrick Tresset&#8217;s robot experiences an equally intimate and irritating machine moment that immediately brings up Brautigan&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/kumu.brocku.ca\/robowiki\/Brautigan%27s_%22cybernetic_ecology%22\"><strong>cyber romanticism<\/strong><\/a>. Who is watching over whom? Adam Curtis takes a bit of a different and more political perspective on the interplay in his three-part series from 2011, which also borrows the title from Brautigan&#8217;s poem: The great lie of the Californian Ideology and the naive promise that computers would somehow liberate humanity (what, we know even better almost ten years later, did not work at all). The film will be screened as part of the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 October \u2013 10 December 2020 (Vernissage 1 Oct, from 18h) 1 Robot, 1 Poem, 1 Documentary Patrick Tresset baut seinen Portraitroboter zuerst an der Oslo Night im HeK auf und bringt ihn dann gleich r\u00fcber in den symbiont space.
