In "Manual Override", artists Lynn Hershman Leeson, Sondra Perry, Simon Fujiwara, Martine Syms, and Morehshin Allahyari, critique the social, cultural, and ethical issues embedded in emerging technological systems ranging from mass surveillance to predictive policing. Central to the exhibition is the idea of a manual override, or human interference in an automated system, a gesture in response to an error in programming, or poor judgment in design. By building networks of artistic collaboration across scientific and technological fields, including genetic engineering, simulation design, machine learning, and experimental computation, each artist posits new forms of 鈥渙verriding鈥� to subvert the values of invasive technological systems.

Featuring six works, four of which are newly commissioned by The Shed, the exhibition centers on the pioneering filmmaker and artist Lynn Hershman Leeson, whose artistic practice involves collaborations with cutting-edge geneticists, scientists, and engineers. Perry, Fujiwara, Syms, and Allahyari adapt Leeson鈥檚 collaborative model as a prototype to create their own hybrid practices to reframe, reimagine, and even intervene in dominant technological narratives. Together, this group of artists suggests how we might override our coded, genetic, and social programming to expand the limits of what personal, artistic, and intellectual inquiry can be.
