Galleries | Upon a Machine: Indonesian Art Collective's Immersive Exhibition on Hyperreality & AI Performance
Discover a newly commissioned project by Tromarama, an Indonesian art collective known for their investigations into hyperreality and the porous boundaries between virtual and physical worlds, through a robust live performance that activates the installation. Tromarama creates immersive, multimedia environments that merge video, installation, and algorithmic processes. Marking the collective’s first institutional exhibition in the United States, this project extends Tromarama's ongoing inquiry into the blurred lines between labor and leisure through the use of artificial intelligence. Departing from earlier works that mined social media data, Tromarama will develop a new work using context conditioning to an AI model, using their personal literary and music archives. This more intimate dataset becomes a lens through which the artists examine how personal and social histories are reinterpreted and remixed by generative technologies.
