The Last Judgement at BIAS
This exhibit is the artist’s interpretation of Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch’s The Last Judgement, updated by the artist with bodies from mostly western art history caught in the whirlwind of techno-capitalism, where invisibility is the disciplining power. Each body has been processed by the OpenPose computer vision algorithm - the visible, acceptable bodies are the ones overlaid with a coloured 'data skeleton'. By making connections to visible and neglected bodies in art history, the piece highlights how cultural and historical biases are now being translated into code, and explores the current capitalist context of emerging technologies, comparing it to religious and enlightenment contexts of canonical artworks.
