Events

Our bodies traverse space liminally, through continuous evolution triggered by nature, cultures and the technologies we influence.  For artists and designers creating in this climate, they must question how our bodies brought us to this juncture. The anthropocene we’ve programmed mirrors the cultural, sociopolitical, and environmental concerns of our time. Our development, and that of a shared environment, cannot advance in a manner of mutual exclusivity. The works exhibited in How did we get here? synthesize an otherwise tumultuous relationship between the past, present and future. 

Exhibiting artists include Carlotta Aoun, Chankalun, Jaime Holland, Dasha Ilina, Amanda Lewis, Kris Madden, Ryan Mcnamara, and Aditi s.

Plateforme Gallery, Paris

This showcase of works from the class Disnovation taught by French artist Nicolas Maigret will focus on the friction spaces generated by the Gig Economy. During the spring 2017 semester students from the BFA AMT and MFA Design + Technology have been making work and research around various topics related to technological innovation and their social, political and environmental impacts. This exhibition will be a continuation of a series of events around this topic co-organised by the Art, Media and Technology Department of Parsons Paris and Nicolas Maigret since 2013.

In the frame of this exhibition, www.send-me-a-task.com was performed for the first time. www.send-me-a-task.com is an online service directing artists Dasha Ilina and Amanda Lewis to fulfill algorithmic tasks emulating the demanding workflow that workers subjected to gig economy standards experience every day.
