Hito Steyerl: The City of Broken Windows

Hito Steyerl’s interest revolves around the role of media, technology and the circulation of images in the era of digital nativism. Her first show at Castello di Rivoli is based on her research into Artificial Intelligence industries, surveillance technologies and the contradictory roles Museums often play today: “The City of Broken Windows” (2018) neural sound recordings that, like an atonal and discordant symphony, document the process of teaching artificial intelligence how to recognise the sound of breaking windows, a practice that symbolises social disruption.
