Alan Turing once said, that “A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.”
What would James Bridle the British writer and philosopher on technology write about machine learning and AI in 100 words.
Artist list
Sofia Björkman, Sara Gackowska, Herman Hermsen, Denise Reytan, Catarina Silva, Timothy Information Limited, Peter Vermandere, Christoph Zellweger, Felieke van der Leest
James Bridle, known for his critical and philosophical lens on technology, might write something like this about machine learning and AI: Machine learning and artificial intelligence are not just technical tools but mirrors of our culture, embedded with our biases and assumptions. They reflect back to us the complexity—and often the opacity—of our own systems. AI is not magic, nor is it neutral; it is authored, trained, and shaped by human hands and histories. As we surrender more decisions to machines, we must ask not what they know, but whose values they serve. True intelligence lies not in imitation, but in understanding and accountability.
The Extranalities Collective
The Extranalities Collective is a European jewellery group that explores and investigates the jewellery discipline through dialogue and making. The collective started when Herman from
the Netherlands asked Tim from the UK to share an exhibition. And then Herman and Tim asked Peter from Belgium to join them for another exhibition. And then so on and so forth, until
the Collective also included Felieke, Denise, Catarina, Sofia, Sara and Christoph, making it 9 different jewellers from 9 different countries. The Extranalities Collective have now staged 15 jewellery exhibitions in 9 different countries, covering many different themes. Each collaborative project starts with a different approach or subject, e.g. the exchange of random
photographs or mystery materials, a study of bubble wrap(!).
For each project, a temporary tenth member, known as the ‘joker’, is invited to join the Extranalities Collective.
Opening on Sunday 30 March 2025 at 4 pm.
The Ai!*AI!*AI!* (intelligence* to wear) Project
For this project and exhibition at Galerie Marzee, The Extranalities Collective chose the Ai tool as the ‘material’ to confront, research, debate, challenge and to make jewellery artifacts from. Some relished this challenge of the unknown, while others feared its implications. But like a smell in a room, it couldn’t be ignored! Now was the time to hold their noses and/or smell the roses, as they tackled the thorny subject of Ai.
With jewellery as their only method, medium and/or weapon, the nine jewellers of Extranalities, in collaboration with their invited ‘joker’, the great Ai itself, conspired to produce jewellery that exists to ask the question of whether Ai is our servant, or our ruler. Or perhaps, just a passing stranger......
