Marco Mazzi & Elisabetta Porcinai: Industrial: On Hacking Consciousness and Reprogramming Language

by Marco Mazzi

An ingenious interrogation of authorship and mechanical production

Italian artists Marco Mazzi (born 1980) and Elisabetta Porcinai (born 1987) use a machine translator to transform an original text into a work authored by the machine. Here, essays contextualize the work alongside precedents such as Alvin Lucier's I Am Sitting in a Room and Walter Benjamin's "The Task of the Translator."
