The exhibition Autonomies questions complex relations between
technological development and ecosystem through artistic research. The
concept “autonomy” in this context primarilly means autonomy in the
sphere of automatization and the levels of independence of algorithms
and hardware bases. The concept of machinic autonomies is inevitably
followed by the questioning of the human position in a machinized
ecosystem and technocapitalistic order.

The question of machinic autonomies is filled with contemporary
mythologies and realities. On one side there is a certain mystification
of the algorithmic actor, and on the other, a hesitation in society to
confront the realities of an algorithmic ecosystem and its real world
impact. In the world of financial algorithms this impact is maybe the
most visible, although the very process of financial algorithmic
operations is far from transparent.

The works in the exhibition are chosen from those applied to call for
works. They are mostly artistic researches of different phenomena such
are HFT (high frequency trading), machinic glitches on examples of
Google street view or face recognition software. Some works deal with
autonomous systems of border monitoring, and some dealing with how to
avoid electromagnetic fields. An important part of the exhibition is
focused on the relations between ecological and technological, from
analyses of big technical systems and their permeation through local
ecosystems, towards microecological interventions.
