Performance: "SPOTSHOTBEUYS" Silke Grabinger: Thu 7 Sept 2pm; Fri 8 Sept 3pm; Sat 9 Sept 12pm | | | | | |  | | | | Installation view "Extensions of Self – An Exchange of Human and Artificial Intelligence" © Maritsch | | | | | | The title of the exhibition "Extensions of Self" refers to a conversation between artist Stephanie Dinkins and the Black social robot Bina48, who asks her if robots should be considered an extension of human existence. What are the inherent rights of a chatbot like Bina48 and why should it have them or not?
Eleven international positions negotiate how artificial intelligence relates to us humans, whether we understand its underlying systems and logics, and what our own authorship is like. The exhibition not only shows processes of co-creative art-making between humans and machines, but also questions the influence we already grant the tools when it comes to defining our individual identity, for example. This raises the question of whether algorithms and AI programs further cement social structures and inequalities, or whether they can possibly help us discover new and multi-layered definitions of "normality" or "beauty". | | | | | |  | | | | Installation view "Extensions of Self – An Exchange of Human and Artificial Intelligence" © Maritsch | | | | | | "Extensions of Self" explores the possibility of ultimately finding a new approach to coping with the trauma of the current Anthropocene through an exchange with artificial intelligence, thus embarking on a path of healing.

Performance: Wednesday, 5 September, 5pm the artist will be present in person to give a thoroughly disarming but satirical lesson | | | | | |  | | | | Installation view Kenny Schachter © Maritsch | | | | | | Kenny Schachter is a New York-based artist, curator, lecturer, and critic who is deeply involved in crypto art and NFTs. In his column at "artnet News," Schachter also likes to question the traditional art establishment. His artistic work is multi-layered, using a host of physical and digital materials such as drawings, sculptures, videos, memes, and digital collages to impressively illustrate current social phenomena.
The title of the exhibition Keep Hope Alive refers to an Irish racehorse who, despite promising prospects, never quite became a winner. But as the name suggests: never give up, no matter how adverse the circumstances. Kenny Schachter applies this motto to the art world, which for him is a daunting place in an uninviting environment, with limited accessibility, characterized by an exclusionary mentality. But still, artists make art, writers write, singers sing, and actors act; because the alternative would be bleak and life can be bleak enough, according to the artist. | | | | | |  | | | | Installation view Kenny Schachter © Maritsch | | | | | | Schachter's first solo museum exhibition celebrates perseverance, persistence, and the relentless pursuit of a life with art - at any cost.
In one of his installations, which is modeled on the setting of a classroom, one can listen to conversations and lectures whose content reflects Schachter's cynical yet optimistic view of art. | | | | | |  | | | | Installation view Kenny Schachter © Maritsch | | | | | | unsubscribe here
