Mizuki Tanahara on Algorithms, Urban Data, and the Art of Revealing Systems
Mizuki Tanahara is a London-based media artist who loves exploring the hidden systems that quietly shape how we move through the world — algorithms, data infrastructures, surveillance tools, all the invisible machinery behind our screens. Working across installation, moving image, data-driven sculpture, and performance, she creates research-led artworks that make these systems feel tangible, sometimes even emotional.
A Fossil Record of Early Human Thought: Joe Banks on Where Language Becomes Technology
Joe Banks is an installation artist, researcher, and electronic musician behind the long-running project Disinformation. His work centers on electricity, communication, and language — often taking the form of electromagnetic sound pieces and audio-visual illusions. His latest piece, Language [as] Meta-Technology, pushes this inquiry further by challenging narrow definitions of what “counts” as language. Rather than limiting language to human syntax or computer code, the work proposes that language is everything we use to communicate — across species, histories, and technologies.
