Starting this Thursday, November 23rd, Yuri Pattison will be participating in the group show “The Irreplaceable Human” at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Denmark), which seeks to pin down the nature of creativity from a humanistic perspective.

Pattison presents a reformatting of his project “open stacks”, held last summer at The Mitchell Library (Glasgow). The video-installation addresses the library space as a stage upon which linearity, time, and veracity are in a constant state of recirculation, reformation and collapse. Through critically confronting current concerns and discourse on AI, Pattison speculates on what appears to be history’s closing chapter of individual authorship, and the opening of a new one dominated by corporate intellectual property. Asking what becomes of human intelligence, our perceptions of history and the present, when information is not accessible to all, the installation shows the seductive aesthetics of tech whilst hinting that it is not yet too late to reclaim freedom of knowledge from extractive neoliberal powers.
