Deborah Ligorio: Accessories In Algorithmic Gardens
For her solo show at Francesca Minini, Deborah Ligorio presents a series of portraits based on the calculation of the individual carbon footprint from a group of friends and friends of friends. Prior to the opening of the show, the gallery will be hosting a workshop from the series [ the Eponym ]: on lifelogging, nature-culture, and body exercises. As a discursive event some elements from the workshop will remain on display for the show, such as the sequence of short trailers, brief videos of around half a minute or less, that virtually accompany the workshop.
The show explores the dynamic and complex nature of scientific practices; it observes its economies of profit and loss. The profile of a person based on their data is used by IT industry to market customized products. Such portraits are constantly generated by social networks. The show examines and observes the way in which the materiality of our embodiment and the measuring tools we use to observe, understand and describe the world determine our very perception of it.
