Woven All of Dream and Error is an exhibition presenting a collection of films, images, and sounds that consider the overlap of two areas of the history of technology: the sites of abandoned railway lines, and the emergence of machine learning — or what has popularly come to be referred to as artificial intelligence.
The exhibition, which takes its title from a poem written in 1918 by the Portuguese modernist Fernando Pessoa, investigates the artistic and practical implications of the overlap of these two technologies.
The exhibition presents a series of walks, undertaken by the artists, along the paths of now-disused railway routes. In these walks, the artists carry portable speakers, playing the sound of machine-learning-generated audio of invented trains: sound that has been hallucinated by contemporary computational technology, and which is juxtaposed with the remains of disappearing layers of the built environment.
These walks are materially presented as a series of interlocking short films, with accompanying image grids and maps. The exhibition will be accompanied by an artist book and a series of unique lathe-cut records — further details are given below.
Woven All of Dream and Error will be presented at Hošek Contemporary, the unique Berlin art space housed on a repurposed barge in the river Spree, in September 2024.
Woven All of Dream and Error began through a process of walking. Over the course of four years, Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty undertook a series of walks along the paths of now-disused railway routes in Berlin and Brandenburg, which they filmed as they walked. In these walks, they also carried portable speakers, playing the sound of machine-learning-generated audio of invented trains: sound that has been hallucinated by contemporary computational technology. [...] These films are explorations of traces left behind, cinematic studies of incisions in the land.
