The Multimedia Anthropology Lab at University College London (UCL MAL) presents »Multimedia Encounters«, the exhibition created to coincide with UCL MAL’s first academic conference, took place on January 12th - 15th, 2021. Our Cluster Members Maxime Le Calvé and Yoonha Kim had ethnographic artworks shown in a virtual group exhibition called »Multimedia Encounters: Experimental Approaches to Ethnographic Research« using the digital platform Mozilla Hubs.
»Multimedia Encounters« attended to the relationship between anthropological thought and virtual intelligence. Smart algorithms and the anthropological mind both operate recursively, dismembering knowledge as we know it, catalyzing visions and birthing alternative futures. Our exhibition sought to probe and push this structural equivalence, exploring its limits and creating the ground for future multimedia encounters. Echoing themes explored in the conference »Multimedia Encounters«, the exhibition aimed to dissect and examine our own systems of value, to re-think how knowledge is produced, and to create spaces for re-imagining what it means to be human in a 21st Century mediascape.
