Abstract

Jane Frances Dunlop’s This is a thing to know (landscape) stages a series of choral works interlocking and overlaying across the gallery. It begins by presenting a set of ‘knowledge system videos’; a dataset constructed from personal anecdote and stock footage to capture a particular effort to know the world. As the exhibition continues, the artworks explore rapid information translation, and the accompanying disintegrations, as the artist uses performance, digitised 8mm and composite choruses to process and rearrange these knowledge system videos. The knowledge system becomes increasingly fragmented, taken apart and reconfigured, handled and shaped by new systems and old mediums.

This is a thing to know (landscape) brings together a body of artworks emerging from the confusions of knowledge making in the 21st century, and the cultural and social shifts brought on by the rise of ‘alternative facts’ that undermine and destabilise expertise, and the increasingly complex AI systems for which datasets operate as intelligence. Specific and personal, the works are an attempt to produce coherent knowledge systems by rendering memory, image and voice as data, as information, that loses its intelligibility and circulates again and again. this is a thing to know (landscape) performs the frictions of an effort to capture and parse the things one person knows.
