"On the other side of the canal, digital art presides. In the solo show A Thousand Pictures of Nothing, artist Emmanuel Van der Auwera explores the mythology and unfulfilled promises of mass media technologies, featuring deconstructed LED screens, overexposed newspaper printing plates, and plenty of AI-generated imagery.
In the ‘speculative documentary’ White Cloud, the artist uses AI to imagine the hidden labour behind his digital tools, featuring uncanny valley images of Chinese miners smudging and glitching their way between rare earths and surveillance cameras. If traditional filmmakers transformed the dark rooms of cinema into positive images, Van der Auwera’s artistic trademark is to invert, subvert, and negate the blinding light of the screen.
You can still visit the exhibition until December 16th. More information here
