Alice Anderson

Cosmic connection

Curated by Reine Okuliar e Denise Di Castro
For the third chapter of The Contemporary Wall, Antichità Alberto Di Castro is pleased to present Alice Anderson: Cosmic Connections, a show curated by Reine Okuliar and Denise Di Castro. For the past two decades, Alice Anderson has been investigating relations between humans and non-humans, engaging in a dialogue with technological objects from meteorites and ancient tools to architectural elements and mobile phones.
This long standing awareness has led her to confront viewers to their relation to technology including AI. The Pixels sculptures presented at Alberto Di Castro are the result of “Random Chromatic” performances, in which colours and shapes randomly meet through dance. This method references Alan Turing’s oracle machine. If Turing is known as the inventor of the computer as we know it, he asserted that it was meant to fail, encountering practical problems or a halting problem.
The solution might lie in the Oracle Machine, an abstract machine able to solve problems in ways that may at first defy logic, the most advanced prototype thus far being the human brain. The Technological Dances paintings are the result of performances where Anderson observes a technological object, that is any non-human entity that has augmented humans throughout history. Be it a flint or a drone, she pours liquid paint over it to liberate it from its primary functionality before dancing with it, imprinting on the canvas a record of their relationship.
The exhibition is an illustration of Anderson’s ability to poetically merge technology, ecology, and expanded consciousness through a multidisciplinary performative practice. For Anderson, the physical world itself thinks, remembers, and responds. Anderson explores new mental spaces in her performances. Much like in Indigenous cultures that perceive an animated essence in everything and a higher dimension of matter, she created ‘hyper-spaces’ where it becomes possible to restore deep, cosmic connections with all entities surrounding us.
