Cory Arcangel: Errors and Omissions

Shanghai, 3 November 2023 – 31 January 2024

Lisson Gallery presents Errors and Omissions, Cory Arcangel’s second show in Shanghai, following his 2019 solo presentation, Topline, at CC Foundation. Constructed as a focused take on a survey show, this exhibition features an array of the artist’s multimedia projects, including video games, single-channel video, inkjets and industrially-coated aluminum ‘paintings’, utilizing techniques such as AI, machine learning and machine code. The show is anchored by two video game works created nearly 20 years apart — Super Slow Tetris (2004), and /roʊˈdeɪoʊ/ Let’s Play: HOLLYWOOD (2021). Super Slow Tetris, an original copy of the Nintendo Entertainment System game Tetris has been hacked and slowed radically so that it now takes almost a whole day for a group of blocks to fall to the bottom of the screen (while crucially still playable). /roʊˈdeɪoʊ/ (pronounced ‘Rodeo’) is another approach to extended game play, but here a bespoke Deep-Q machine-learning super computing system plays a casual, free-to-play Android game called ‘Kim Kardashian: Hollywood,’ where players aim to increase their reputation by gaining fans and A-List celebrity stardom. /roʊˈdeɪoʊ/ Let’s Play: HOLLYWOOD (2021) presented in the Shanghai gallery is a 3 hour long single-channel screen capture video of /roʊˈdeɪoʊ/ playing ‘Kim Kardashian: Hollywood,’ recorded on 14 December 2021.
