Attention After Technology
The exhibition Attention After Technology is a result of a two-year collaboration between Kunsthall Trondheim, Art Hub Copenhagen, Tropical Papers, State of Concept Athens, and Swiss Institute New York, with The Friends of Attention, D. Graham Burnett (Princeton University), Justin Smith-Ruiu (Universit茅 de Paris) as associated partners. Attention After Technology explores how algorithms affect us and how we could imagine them otherwise, through newly commissioned works by seven international artists.
The artists consider how our attention is commodified and monetized in the 鈥渁ttention economy,鈥� where our eyeballs, affect, and time have become some of the most sought-after goods. They examine algorithms with regard to social justice and concerns of equity and inclusion, probing their emancipatory potential as much as how they reinforce existing bias.
The exhibition title, Attention After Technology, is a reference to the celebrated book Race After Technology (2019) by Ruha Benjamin, a Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University in the United States. In her publication, Benjamin decodes the discriminatory designs embedded in algorithms that reinforce and deepen racial, socioeconomic, and other systemic hierarchies.
