Arvid&Marie

Inspired by popular technological hoaxes and nonsensical techno-utopist sci-fi, just as much as deeply ingrained fears and critics of technological progress, the duo Arvid&Marie is looking at the alternative futures they inspire. This line of research has lead them to express the perspectives of non-human actors in events and exhibitions across the world, for instance by creating a self-owning machine, by making replicas of products as understood by recommendation algorithms or by performing live the directives of chatbots. These pieces offer a different view on ethical tech discussions, but also experiment with marginal ideas for a different future.

Arvid&Marie are speakers at the FilmForward Vrijplaats Residency.
