Fail fast! Fail big! Fail often! Fail better!
These oft-quoted Silicon Valley mantras celebrate the high-octane risk taking that has been the hallmark of the tech world, but who really wins (and loses) when companies fail?
Presented in San Francisco, a hub of technology and diverse artistic and social movements, SYSTEM FAILURE celebrates the creative potential of failure while also holding ourselves accountable to the injustices too often built into tech’s data, algorithms, and networks. SYSTEM FAILURE presents work from a diverse group of media artists who explore ideologies of disruption, critique the social and political effects of technological breakdown, and tactically produce errors by building tools that are never meant to function or hacking their way through loopholes in source code.
Featuring work by: American ArtistTega Brain & Surya MattuDemian DinéYazhi'Robbie BarratFaith HollandXandra IbarraJenny Odell & Joe VeixM Eifler aka BlinkPopShiftMimi OnuohaCaroline SindersStephanie Syjuco
And featuring a special interactive performance Masking Machine byM Eifler aka BlinkPopShift throughout the opening reception.
Masking Machine is an interactive performance featuring the artist M Eifler aka BlinkPopShift dressed in a custom-made wearable augmented reality (AR) apparatus. Using machine learning, the artist's software generates ever-evolving "digital makeup" displayed real-time on a screen in front of them, bringing audience, artist, and algorithm face-to-face
SYSTEM FAILURE is an apexart Open Call Exhibition curated by Harris Kornstein and Cara Rose DeFabio.
Harris Kornstein is a PhD student in Media, Culture, and Communications at NYU, as well as an artist whose work explores digital culture and new media, media-based art and activism, and queer politics.
