Code Is Law Exhibition Explores Algorithmic Power Through Art
The Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles in Paris is currently hosting an exhibition called 'Code Is Law,' which runs until February 28, 2021. Curated by Carine Le Malet and Jean-Luc Soret, this exhibit is inspired by Lawrence Lessig's essay from 2000 that discusses how code regulates our online world. It features Belgian artists who creatively examine the influence of code, from genetic patterns to algorithms, in a poetic way. Artists like Jacques André, Antoine Bertin, and Claire Williams are among those showcasing their work. The exhibition also delves into issues like privacy and surveillance, and there’s a virtual tour available. Plus, Jonathan Schatz will perform 'Minakami' at the opening on February 6, 2021.
