Katerina is a Finnish Bulgarian artist. She runs labels Émotsiya and Kotarak releasing music from the likes of Sansibar and Exploited Body. She’s an active touring DJ and a producer releasing music on labels such as Running Back, Cómeme, Hivern Discs, Tigersushi and Rhythm Section. This is the first remix she has done of Construction. 

“I was nervous when I started making this remix, as I'm always, because I care so much about music and I want to achieve something special. I want people to feel what I'm feeling. w That tension you feel throughout your body when you meet someone that captivates you or those moments of excitement before a really good audience that ultimately strips you of all of your fears,” says Katerina.

ABOUT CONSTRUCTION

Construction is an electronic music collaboration between Nadya Peek and Marko Ahtisaari. Peek and Ahtisaari met at MIT while fabricating on a large CNC mill. The original track Nervous is from the band's second ep WE'RE GREAT THANKS FOR ASKING (2020) produced by Pat Dillett (David Byrne, Brian Eno, St. Vincent) and mastered by Guy Davie (Jon Hopkins, King Krule, Four Tet). It was recorded while the band was working in the evenings at their friends' Nervous System design studios who created the generative cover art for the remix. 

ABOUT NERVOUS SYSTEM

Nervous System is a generative design studio that works at the intersection of science, art, and technology. Drawing inspiration from natural phenomena, they create computer simulations to generate designs and use digital fabrication to realize products. Their studio is located in the Catskills in Palenville, NY.

An afternoon in Paris

"We're pro-AI and we're pro-consent. Those things don't have to be mutually exclusive." The activists and artists talk about the hot button issues facing AI's governance.

The world is deep in the throes of a heightening debate over AI. Just this week, the Vatican published an essay addressing the potential, and risks, of AI in a new high-tech world as well as its intersection with religion and humanity. In politics, figures like Elon Musk are advising citizens that the US government will become increasingly "AI-first," using data about its individuals to make federal decisions. And in the world of culture and the humanities, the alarm has been sounded on AI's ability to both aid in creativity and homogenise the art and music being produced and consumed, raising concerns that much of what's being released is sounding increasingly the same.

There are probably no better experts on this far-ranging topic than Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst, two Berlin-based academics and artists who have entrenched themselves in the world of AI ethics, advocacy and art for the past two decades. Now married, they come from DIY punk backgrounds, both having lived in the Bay Area pre-tech bubble while Herndon completed a Ph.D in Computer Music at Stanford. Their work is primarily concerned with how AI is governed as it becomes more ubiquitous in our everyday lives, and what its implications are for ownership of AI-generated artworks. 

In this urgent and timely RA Exchange, the duo talk about their shift closer to the art world following their 2024 exhibition at The Whitney Biennial and their most recent show at Serpentine Gallery in London, The Call, which will close at the end of this month. It's one of many forward-thinking projects they've worked on to move away from the fear narrative dominating dialogue around how AI is influencing art and music, instead showcasing how machine learning can be used to push art forward. They also address their view of socialist democratic values with the rise of the far right, raising a young child and doing work that sits squarely between activism and art.

You changed me overnight

A stunning collaboration between three world-class artists.
Tree of Codes left audiences breathless. Jamie xx’s scintillating score, Olafur Eliasson’s dazzling designs and Wayne McGregor’s visceral choreography, danced by members of his own company alongside the stars of the great Paris Opera Ballet, came together to create something greater than the sum of their component parts – and drew standing ovations for the show’s run at the Opera House. - MLF Festival
