Featured: Contingent Systems Exhibition and Reading List
CONTINGENT SYSTEMS explores critical intersections between creative practice and algorithmic culture. Comprised of an international group exhibition, symposium, and set of publications, it considers the ways that artists have worked, in both historical and contemporary contexts, to render the algorithmic intelligible, opening space for reflexive critique, meaningful resistance, and innovative repurposing.
The Luke Lindoe Library collaborated with AUArts Faculty, Dr. Ashley Scarlett and Lisa Lipton, curators of Contingent Systems, to create a reading list of publications available online and at the Library for borrowing. Access the reading list here.
More information about the exhibition can be found on the Illingworth Kerr Gallery’s website.
Welcome/Oki
We would like to take this opportunity to gratefully acknowledge that the Luke Lindoe Library rests on the traditional Treaty 7 territories of the Blackfoot people. In the spirit of our efforts to promote reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional territories and oral practices of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Piikani and Kainai), the Tsuut’ina (Sarcee), the Stoney Nakoda First Nations (Bearspaw, Chiniki and Wesley), the Metis Nation (Region 3) and all those who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
