Conceived as an exhibitive and theoretical laboratory by Mat Dryhurst, Holly Herndon, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, in collaboration with Adriana Rispoli, the project introduces a structured reflection on Protocol Art – a practice that renders visible the rules, algorithms, platforms, and infrastructures underlying digital culture. Installations and videos construct a narrative that treats processes, instructions, and systems as artistic matter, shedding light on the logics that determine the production and circulation of images and opening onto the dimension of co-creation between human and machine.
