How We Make Meaning features two solo but connected exhibitions by artists Memo Akten in QUAD Gallery one and Mimi Ọnụọha in QUAD Gallery two. Both artists explore aspects and the meanings of Artificial Intelligence (AI) - particularly in relation to the gathering and use of data, machine learning and how humans/machines input and interpret data and how they view the world in scientific, spiritual and deeply personal ways.
Following on from his recent week-long takeover of the QUAD Gallery Instagram page, as part of the online Peer to Peer festival (www.peertopeerexchange.org) artist Hui Wai-Keung talks in this short film about his work and inspirations, along with QUAD Senior Curator Peter Bonnell and chaired by QUAD Assistant Curator Laura O’Leary.
