Join artist Sahej Rahal in a discussion of his installation of artificial intelligence and sculptural works for ACCA’s summer exhibition, Feedback Loops. Rahal’s installations, installations and digital works are part of a constructed mythology that he creates drawing upon sources ranging from local legends to science fiction. By bringing these into dialogue with each other, Rahal creates scenarios where indeterminate beings emerge into the everyday as if from the cracks in our civilisation.
