Fakewhale in dialogue with James Bloom
In his latest project, Half Cheetah, James Bloom tackles a theme that is as technical as it is existential: what happens when the algorithms that drive progress are broken down?

Bytes, Data, Backups, Uploads, Reviews, Photographs: The Role of Documentation and Preservation in Contemporary Art
