The online exhibition shown on tropical papers’ web platform is one of the multiple iterations of the expansive and diverse project. Each one of our guest artists— biarritzzz, Vivian Caccuri, Shu Lea Cheang, CUSS Group, Kyriaki Goni, Femke Herregraven, and Berenice Olmedo – has specifically conceived a web project for tropical papers! 

The Attention After Technology online exhibition examines algorithms with regard to social justice and concerns of equity and inclusion, probing their emancipatory potential as much as how they reinforce existing bias. It resists simple dichotomies opposing technology and attention, but explores attention as a practice, as an embodied technology, and as an evolving aesthetic, social, and political sphere. In bringing attention into debates around algorithmic justice, the exhibiting artists pull back the curtain on the neutrality of technology, while using it to draft new ways of relating.

The Attention After Technology online exhibition is collectively curated and produced by tropical papers’s team: María Inés Rodríguez, Yu Hsiao Hwei, Mariana Marcondes, Andrés Sandoval; with Kunsthall Trondheim’s team: Katrine Elise Agpalza Pedersen, curator; Liz Dom, project manager; Kaja Grefslie Waagen, producer and communications manager; and Art Hub Copenhagen: Lars Bang Larsen, head of art & research; Rose Tygat, project coordinator; State of Concept Athens: iLiana Fokianaki, founder and director; Konstantina Melachrinou, production manager and press officer; and Swiss Institute New York: Stefanie Hessler, director.
