Velázquez, ‘Juan de Pareja (ca. 1608–1670),’ 1650. Purchase, Fletcher and Rogers Funds, and Bequest of Miss Adelaide Milton de Groot (1876-1967), by exchange, supplemented by gifts from friends of the Museum, 1971.From October 18 to November 26, the Sehwa Museum of Art will present the first part of the three-part exhibition “Non-Algorithm Challenge”, titled Tuning the Ears.
“Non-Algorithm Challenge” is designed to think about humanity today when the relationship between humans and non-humans and the boundaries between them are being discussed. Therefore, the exhibition aims to explore humanity that is difficult to define by focusing on the unstructured, non-algorithmic human thought system. To this end, the exhibition is organized into three parts.
This is the first part of the exhibition. The exhibition imagines ‘listening’ as a unique human process that autonomously interprets external data and creates meaning. Bae Insook, Won woori, and Jun HyoungSan will present works related to listening. The artists capture the auditory sense through various media such as video and installation. For example, in Won woori’s installation < Interval Response > (2023), the viewer selects a note by adjusting the controller and the computer employs machine learning to derive a melody.
