Marc Garrett: Curating and Making Art that Challenges Extractive Digital
Systems.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ArbDZK5Duk&t=4s
Elite groups constantly channel our social interactions, cultural identities,
and interests on their behalf. The narratives and stories of who we are have
become distorted, filtered, and engineered following the needs of marketing
companies, accepted historical canons, mainstream news media, the military,
numerous corporations, and nation-states. Like everything else, truth is a
commodity, not a right. The highest bidder owns truth and fact; if you can
afford it, you can create, alter and sell mass misinformation to millions.
AI resembles land grabbing by the powers that be alongside desperation by
artists, academics, curators, designers, and technologists who use it to feel
relevant in an ever-changing world, at whatever cost. However, blind devotion
to reconfirming privileged worldviews is building an even worse, uneven future.
