About the Item

The "Algorithm Dream" explicitly quotes Salvador Dali's melted clocks in "The Persistence of Memory", offering a contemporary reinterpretation of Surrealism. There is a link between surrealism and surveillance capitalism, the latter understood as a new economic order that makes human experience a free raw material for hidden commercial practices of extraction, prediction and sale. Surveillance capitalism uses the research algorithm with a parasitic logic in which the production of goods is subordinated to a new global architecture of behavioral transformation of the individual and the masses. As Kenneth Goldsmith points out, "The web is tinged with surrealism and uses its methods of drift, disorientation, and disjunction as ways to open up new and unfamiliar experiences." The algorithm curates and organizes our desires as a digital libidinal force, we are dreaming the dreams of someone else, of a digital subconscious run by an algorithm and because of this we become increasingly disoriented and helpless. The sculpture represents an enlarged pound that as it melts seems to take a different shape and alter the appearance of the queen. This sculpture is a series that repeats itself in the same form but in different color combinations, like a dream that repeats itself at different times and continues to re-emerge every night.

Pennacchio Argentato is an artistic duo composed by Pasquale Pennacchio (Caserta, 1979) and Marisa Argentato (Naples, 1977). They work together since they met at Academy of Fine Arts in Naples and later, they studied together sculpture at Staatliche Hochschule fur Bildende Kunste of Frankfurt, where they got the chance to study with eminent artists, curators, and philosophers. Their works play with the idea of representation, property, and observation of our time and its social, economic, humanitarian, political and technological issues. Their artistic practice involves formal and visual strategies of abstraction, repetition, appropriation, enlargement, and fragmentation. The artists use a wide range of materials and techniques from performance materials such as titanium and carbon kevlar to more typical contemporary sculptural ones such as concrete and acrylic resins. Additionally, the artists assimilate video projections into their sculptures and experiment with 3D modeling techniques. They work a lot with series that usually tend to infinite and that never can be completed. They participated in many solo and collective shows, especially around Europe. The most notable one were at: Oval Lingotto, Turin, 2017; Museo d'arte contemporanea Villa Croce, Genoa, 2016; Banca Fideuram, Naples, 2016; Palazzo Reale, Milan, 2016; MUSAC - Museo di Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León, León, Spain, 2011; Midway Contemporary Art, Minneapolis, 2010; MUHKA - Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, Belgium, 2014; Ausstellungraum Klingental, Basel, 2014 Autocenter, Berlin¸ Flip project space, Toronto, 2011; Landings Project Space, Vestfossen, Norway 2010; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 2013; Frankfurt Kunstverein, Frankfurt am Main, 2011; Le Magasin - Centre National d'Art Contemporain de Grenoble, Grenoble, 2010; Pan - Naples and Palazzo Italia, Belgrade 2008; Progetto Radar, Venice, 2006;Villa delle Rose, Spazio Aperto, GAM di Bologna, Bologna; 2003; Ratti Foundation, Como, 2002; Viafarini, Milan, 2002.
