Mónica Rikić IN RESiDENCE at the School Escola Rec Comtal

In the last few years my artistic research has been done around the social impact of technology, collective artificial intelligence, the human-machine relationship and social simulations. Through it, I want to analyse how technology and programming are generators of cultural grammars, revealing new relationships of power and symbolic violence.

My objective is to tangibly simulate social spaces where technology is not considered or used solely as a means to a specific end, but is established as the container framework and generator of a social construction and collective intelligence. In this way, I want to suggest new critical views of technology -and, in particular, of artificial intelligence,- that are non-fatalist and less Euro-anthropocentric.
