Exhibition and live performances from five female artistic researchers across Berlin

About Digital Decoding

Digital Decoding is a collaborative ten-day research-driven exhibition with live perfomances by five female artists and designers from sound, object, and textile design investigating how digital technologies both conceal and critically examine and reveal the material realities, labour, and power structures they depend upon. Through approaches spanning AI voice recognition, human–machine co-creation, virtual environments, heritage craft, and digital infrastructures, the project asks: How can artistic research with digital technologies expose the hidden materialities, practices, and biases that digitality itself obscures?

The practices of all five involved artists involve a strong focus on exposing the human perspectives behind digital and technological advances and tools. With each bringing in their personal approaches as artists, designers and craftspeople, the exhibition will give access to important, diverse and still widely underrepresented topics such as biases in AI, craft materiality and heritage in a digitalised world, and human-machine interactions. One aim is to expose the challenges, environmental and social impacts digitality has and should no longer be ignored by society as consumers. Through experimental, playful and tangible explorations the artists demonstrate how artistic research can make a difference in bridging the wide gap between a society which is fully immersed in digitality, whilst at the same time lacks the invitation and information required for true inclusion and digital sovereignty.
