Care in the Code is a brand-new exhibition that sits at the intersection of art and technology and explores the creative potential of coding as a tool of care and community engagement. Responding to rising anxieties around the impact of AI technology on the way we work, play and live, the exhibition offers a snapshot of current artistic approaches to the use of code, focusing its lens on expanded notions of care as a counterpoint to the traditional emotional detachment of machines.
From digitally augmented dance and hair-combing robots to large language models that offer tarot readings, visitors will encounter digital technologies encoded with human expressions of care, intimacy and familiarity. This selection of works reflects the central role of the human hand in coding and a refusal to cede control to the algorithm.
