Hilary Berseth & Kevin Zucker Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Eleven Rivington
Media: Painting, Sculpture
Both artists, Hilary Berseth and Kevin Zucker, work within systems to investigate how images and forms are constructed, classified, and named. The exhibition's title reformulates a thought experiment proposed by Alan Turing, the father of modern computer science. Turing's test determines whether a machine can possess intelligence: if a machine can perform a thinking task and arrive at the same result as an intelligent human given the same problem, then we must assume that the machine is intelligent in the same way as the human. A Reverse Turing test poses the inverse question: can a human imitate the way a machine thinks? The show's title reflects Berseth and Zucker's shared interest in programming systems that replace artistic decision making with processes that generate unexpected outcomes, simulating creativity. The title ‘Reverse Turing Tests’ also hints at their connected dialogue with the computer as medium, content, and metaphor.
