Tuesday Talk: Minds & Machines

Join us for a panel discussion that brings together a diverse group of experts at the forefront of art and technology.

This panel discussion features represented artist Jake Elwes, Samantha King (Head of Programme at VIVE Arts), Sylvain Levy (Collector, DSL Collection), and Catherine Troiano (V&A Curator of Photography).

This conversation coincides with Jake Elwes' highly anticipated inaugural solo show, Data • Glitch • Utopia, at Gazelli Art House. Furthermore, it celebrates the commissioning of a new iteration of Elwes' groundbreaking work, The Zizi Show (2020), for the newly opened Photography Centre at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), on view until April 2024.

Samantha King, Head of Programme at VIVE Arts, will bring her expertise in the intersection of art and virtual reality to the discussion. As a key collaborator in the partnership exhibition between Gazelli Art House and VIVE Arts, she will shed light on the UK premiere of Cheng Ran's immersive work, Always I Distrust (2020), showcased in our Project Space, in conversation with Sylvain Levy (Collector, DSL Collection).

Catherine Troiano, curator at the V&A, will provide valuable insights into the significance of Elwes' commissioned artwork, The Zizi Show, within the broader context of the museum's commitment to showcasing cutting-edge contemporary photography. Troiano's expertise in curating exhibitions that explore the evolving role of technology in art and culture will enrich the discussion.
