Viewing Among the Machines

Make time to see Among the Machines at London’s Zabludowicz Collection, a major new exhibition of works from the collection examining how humans interact with machines and non-human entities. Rather daringly, it also considers how we will respond to a stage of evolution beyond the human.

It features 13 international artists, including Anicka Yi, Rebecca Allen and Simon Denny, who are engaging with various technologies to critically reflect on our current moment of change. Together, they tackle everything from new types of consciousness and alternative evolutionary branches to the impact of technology on our sense of individual and collective identity, and our relationship to the planet.

Shown alongside video, sculpture and interactive computer installations are new augmented reality artworks created in direct response to the gallery space. This is a mindboggling show, but it’s well worth a whiz round.
