Menneske eller maskine. Vores maskiner opbygger erfaringer, algoritmerne begynder at ligne menneskelige indtryk og vores liv flettes stadig tættere sammen med apparaterne - Så hvor er grænsen? Er maskinskabt kunst så rigtig kunst, på lige fod med den menneskeskabte og er vi overhovedet adskilte væsner?

En samtale om printede næser, værker skabt af algoritmer og de apps, som tilrettelægger vores kærlighedsliv og kropsfunktioner.

I samtalen kan du møde kunstner Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard og Thomas Bolander, professor, Ph.d. ved DTU og ekspert i kunstig intelligens.

“Dope is Death” takes us back in time to South Bronx in the late 60’s and tells the story of the radical movement whose goal it was to end heroin addiction through acupuncture and a more just health system.

The movement was led by Dr. Mutulu Shakur, Tupacs stepdad, in collaboration with The Black Panthers and The Young Lords. Through archive material and interviews, we get insight into how the acupuncture clinic in South Bronx became prominent and – despite trouble with financing at times – is still active today.

“Pieces of Copenhagen” presents the Council for Visual Arts’ acquisitions over the past four years. Experience, among others, works by Nanna Abell, Nina Beier, Olafur Eliasson, Elmgreen & Dragset and Kirstine Roepstorff.

On Thursday 16 June, Sebastian Quedenbaum who administrates the City of Copenhagen’s art collection, will give a guided tour. Learn about the creation of the exhibition, the Council for Visual Arts’ work with art purchases and zoom in on selected works.

On Sunday 12 June, you can experience artist Jesper Aabille and his fried egg performance “Poetic Fried Egg”. Here, daal will initially be served, while the artist will host a talk about his travels with the work. Subsequently, the artist will fry eggs with the sculpture “Firewood for frying eggs” on Nikolaj Plads.
