Brie Trenerry has produced a major new commission for The Lock-Up's latest exhibition, DATA MINDS!

 

DATA MINDS surveys the practices of five artists working across analogue, contemporary and AI-assisted media who approach AI not just as a medium, but as a tool to be used, exploited or questioned.

 

Brie's site-specific hologram alongside screen-based works and installations shares darker sides of humanity exposed by the Internet and points to technology’s influence upon today’s polarised political climate.

 

DATA MINDS will run from 30 November 2024 – 23 February 2025.
