I spent a lovely couple of hours at some new digital art exhibitions currently showing in London. First up was The Delusion at Serpentine North, a 'multiplayer immersive experience running on game engines' by Danielle Braithwaite-Shirley. Very much a participatory piece, this demanded that audience interaction and sharing of experience. But since at 11.30am on a Tuesday morning I was the only member of the audience, my shared experience was somewhat onanistic.
After a stroll through Hyde Park I finished up at Subject to Change at Gazelli Art House on Dover Street. The highlight of this group exhibition was Jake Elwes' Terms and Conditions Opera, a 'legalese libretto' of ai generated music using Open AIs Terms and Conditions as its lyrical data set. A fun commentary on intellectual and creative copyright law and an absurdist repurposing of legal jargon, this felt like the sort of interesting experiment that used to come around every week or so, back in the beforetimes.
