As part of my exhibition Office Party at 12 Hammersmith Grove, I’m thrilled to invite you to a performance by Musarc featuring Gavin Bryars’s seminal tape improvisation score 1, 2, 1234 (1973), reimagined using the AI-generated pop songs created for Keyword Karaoke.
Following the performance, I’ll be joining Nick Couldry, co-author of Data Grab: The New Colonialism of Big Tech and How to Fight Back, and Musarc’s Artistic Director, Joseph Kohlmaier, for a conversation on the datafication of our lives and how emerging modes of extraction are transforming language, creativity, and ownership.
Doors open at 6.30pm, the performance will start at 6.45pmAdmission: Free (RSVP)I’d love for you to join us—please let me know, and I’ll add you to the guest list for the evening or RSVP to [email protected]
