In this talk
Salemy addresses his triangular practice in which he combines writing (theory, fiction and theory fiction), curating (both
art and knowledge) and artmaking (algorithms, film, video and and installation).
While presenting
his current projects, and his research interests (the history and development of networked computers, planetary computational
infrastructure and Artificial Intelligence) he explains how the hybridity between these practices and mediums have the potential
for creating new forms of knowledges.
Mohammad Salemy is a Canadian artist, critic, and curator who holds an MA
in critical curatorial studies from the University of British Columbia. He has shown his works in Ashkal Alwan’s Home Works
