Abstract:

Emma Wood and Julia Wolf: Digital Decoding

"Digital Decoding" was a collaborative research-driven exhibition by five female artists and designers from sound, object and textile design investigating how digital technologies both conceal and reveal the material realities, labour and power structures they depend upon. Through approaches spanning AI voice recognition, human–machine co-creation, virtual environments, heritage craft and digital infrastructures, the project asked: How can artistic research with digital technologies expose the hidden materialities, practices and biases that digitality itself obscures? The exhibition was curated by Emma Wood and Julia Wolf.
