Artists Sophie Penkethman-Young and Jon Smeathers reflect on Embraced in the Loving Arms of An Algorithm, touching on the intersections of their practices, algorithmic displacement and intervention, and how care, trust and ‘cute’ can be present in algorithm-augmented curatorial models.

Embraced in the Loving Arms of An Algorithm – v1.1 was curated by Jon Smeathers under Contemporary Art Tasmania’s Curatorial Mentorship Program in 2024.

This episode is hosted and edited by Sharifah Emalia Al-Gadrie and produced by Lisa Campbell-Smith for Contemporary Art Tasmania.
