ArtDayME: ATHR Gallery in Jeddah hosts 'After The Machine' exhibition, showcasing the works of internationally renowned artists Random International and Addie Wagenknecht.

This exhibition explores the intricate relationships between humanity, technology, and the ever-evolving role of artificial intelligence. As rapid technological advancements continue to shape our world, After The Machine seeks to question the boundaries between the personal and the procedural, providing a space for reflection on what it means to live alongside machines, algorithms, and automated systems.

This exhibition marks the first time Random International and Addie Wagenknecht present their works together, expanding upon their ongoing creative dialogue.

Random International, represented by ATHR Gallery, is known for their pioneering work in the field of immersive art and technology, with the gallery having hosted a pop-up exhibition featuring their work at the Hayy Jameel space, AKTHR, in early 2023, in addition to two prominent installations during both Noor Riyadh Arts Festival and exhibition in 2023 with their artworks “Living Room” (2022) and “When Tomorrow Comes/ I” (2023).

Addie Wagenknecht, an established international artist, premieres in the Saudi art scene with this exhibition. Wagenknecht is acclaimed for her innovative approach to security technology, automation, and systems, exploring psychological dimensions through her art. ATHR Gallery, based in Jeddah, continues to support such forward-thinking contemporary art, further establishing itself as a leader in the region’s art scene by introducing leaders in tech-based art to Saudi Arabia.

The exhibition open to the public until 31 December 2024.
