Get matched →The Machine Dreams of Smoke is an exhibition by Eli Cortiñas at Museo Reina Sofía revisiting and expanding upon The Most Given of Givens, a video-graphic work from 2016 recently acquired for the museum's collections.
The exhibition addresses relationships between cinema history, museum history, and digital culture. Cortiñas analyzes how film centralized image production in the twentieth century, examining found footage of Tarzan films and their use of ethnographic material to construct colonial imagery of African peoples. She combines archival fragments with contemporary images and artificial intelligence-generated scenography to critique the apparent neutrality of images, technology, and museum apparatus, questioning the power relations that sustain visual and cognitive systems.
