S1 : Ep5 - Ai & Art with Sahej Rahal & Harshit Agrawal

In this floor talk, recorded in ACCA's galleries, exhibiting artist Sahej Rahal speaks about his installation of artificial intelligence and sculptural works for ACCA’s exhibition, 'Feedback Loops' (7 December 2019 – 22 March 2020). Rahal’s installations, installations and digital works are part of a constructed mythology that he creates drawing upon sources ranging from local legends to science fiction. By bringing these into dialogue with each other, Rahal creates scenarios where indeterminate beings emerge into the everyday as if from the cracks in our civilisation.More info: https://acca.melbourne/exhibition/feedback-loops/http://www.sahejrahal.com/Recorded at ACCA on Saturday 7 December 2019Thank you to our partners: Asia Engagement Partner: PR Asia; Exhibition Partners: AsiaTOPA, Dulux, Monash University, Quest Southbank, Playking Foundation, Colour Factory; Media Partner: Triple R Image: Sahej Rahal, 'Antraal' 2019 (still), sentient AI program.
