Data Mining Kiosk
by Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez and Kirsten Palz.

Exhibition in seven acts
at nationalmuseum, Berlin.

Formed in 2014 by Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez and Kirsten Palz, Data Mining Kiosk is a collective work and exchange format on sculptures and concepts of perceptions.
The collective work has so far led to the exhibition ‘Sculpture in four parts’ at the Grimmuseum, Berlin 2015 and ‘Holes’, a failed attempt to rewrite the history of sculptures at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds 2015.
The exhibition presented at nationalmuseum opens on September 9th with the first of seven acts, which will continue to evolve until October 9th, 2016.

The exhibition explores various reflective understandings of surveillance principles and practices involving observation as an act.

Data Mining Kiosk places the sculpture in modes of surveillance. The sculpture is the protagonist and point of departure for particular models, matters and processes.

Oriented to the north, a series of installations are assembled. These installations undergo constant change during the 30 days including events outside of nationalmuseum.

Act V is a contemplation on materiality, mechanics and intelligence. Act V explores the relationship between engineered materialities and logical output.

If an a-machine prints two kinds of symbols, of which the first kind (…) consists entirely of 0 and 1 (…), then the machine will be called a computing machine. (A. M. Touring, On computable numbers with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem, 1936)
