❃♒♙❐♔♏❓Cryptogramme ❃♒♙❐♔♏ is a group show with Sarah Neumann, Maxim Tur, Tom König, Suzie Callisz, Jakob Floess and Maria Margolina.☆
In Jakob Floess’s single-channel video installation Asset Flip the fictional company F-ACQ markets its data to global security and military sectors. As part of its promotional campaign, two light boxes serve as advertising media, promoting a newly developed system that claims to categorize human emotions based on facial micro-expressions, supposedly revealing a person’s „true self“. This revival of pseudoscientific practices like phrenology and physiognomy within the realms of computer vision and machine learning poses significant risks. Media theorists Luke Stark and Evan Hudson discuss this trend in their 2021 paper Physiognomic Artificial Intelligence defining „Physiognomic AI“ as “the practice of using computer software and related systems to infer or create hierarchies of an individual’s body composition, protected class status, perceived character, capabilities, and future social outcomes based on their physical or behavioral characteristics.” ☆ The show is on view from 07.11 – 5.12.2024. ☆ ☆ Open from Thursday to Saturday, 14:00 – 18:00 ☆ ☆ ☆ Place du Conseil 4, 1070 Anderlecht
Vernissage:07.11 had a live set by ｉｎｆｅｒｉｏｒ░ｄｅｓｉｇｎ

The inspiration for the show and title Cryptogramme derives from the Greek root κρυπτός, meaning "hidden" or "concealed," κρυπτός encapsulates the idea of veiling information, actions, or intentions from public scrutiny. This term often reflects the delicate balancing act performed by governments, institutions, and individuals when deciding what to reveal and what to keep shrouded in secrecy. In Cryptogramme, six positions converge as a collective generator of a code consisting of pictorial, sculptural, and acoustic hash functions that transcend their utilitarian roles as mere tools for securing information.
