Hideo Snes and Felix Wagner

The exhibition “If I had more time I would have written a shorter letter” features two artists exploring the obscure topic of an artificial intelligence making mistakes due to being too much in a hurry. It presents a curated collection of works reflecting on new notions introduced by a burgeoning AI.

Artificial intelligence is not only a disruptor in the arts and creative fields. Within the economic system of incessant optimization and exponential growth expectations, AI can easily be seen both as a way of propelling us into the next phase of moving forward as well as a threat to our agency and relevance in the system as a whole.

The performance of Felix Wagner is an attempt at bringing human involvement in artificial intelligence to the forefront. The multi-screen video work of Hideo Snes transforms the artists and the curator, Felix Helmut Wagner, Hideo Snes and Peter Várnai, into an artificial intelligence-driven simulation.
