Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts an intricate arrangement of microphones and recording equipment, scattered across a white background. The composition consists of a striking contrast between the sleek, black metal frames and the tangle of wires and cables in various shades of gray and yellow.

From the climate crisis to systems of power dynamics to technological automation, Nikita Gale creates large-scale installations that explore the socio-economic politics of space, visibility and transformation.
