Xiaowei Wang's The Future of Memory Exhibited by Schloss & ZKM

A massive congratulation to Xiaowei Wang, who was selected for a web residency by Solitude & ZKM on the topic "Rigged Systems" curated by Jonas Lund!

Xiaowei's project, The Future of Memory, is now on exhibit by Schlosspost, an online forum for artistic research! The Chinese-American artist and engineer studies artificial intelligence algorithms and automated censorship in China through art.

According to Schlosspost, The Future of Memory "brings a poetic intervention into ways users might bypass such automated systems [as artificial intelligence algorithms and censorship in China] through image, invented language and visual form."

From the description of the project:

The Future of Memory deep dives and reverse engineers how such censorship algorithms work and puts this information onto an interactive, bilingual website. The project creates a new visual-linguistic systems to bypass censorship.
