We are promised that the value “Artificial Intelligence” will bring us is 'efficiency'; better: medical care, teaching, lending, commuting, and relationships.

Yet, this imagery obscures the invisible frameworks –– both material and cultural –– that are required to construct this future.

The exhibition machinekind aims to explore the liminal space between machine-generated efficiency and the poignant and sometimes valuable inefficiencies that accompany human behavior:

• What vision of a future built on machine-collaboration do we hope for?
• When and how do we want artificial intelligence making decisions with us, or altogether for us?
• As those invested in the technological innovation behind machine-kind market dreams of a world made easier, what elements of human social interaction might be lost or reinterpreted in the process?
