Curatorial research
Marnie Benney
Curatorial projects at the intersection of contemporary art, technology, design, data, and environmental questions.
Curatorial record
Benney’s own curatorial portfolio describes more than 40 international exhibitions and events across public spaces, galleries, conferences, festivals, and universities. The portfolio identifies her as co-founder and curator of AIArtists.org, a platform documenting historic AI-art works and artists investigating AI’s social and cultural impact. [1]
Relevant named projects include Nature in the Dark, which commissioned artists to translate scientific water-quality data into participatory public installations; The Quantified Self: The Data Doesn’t Lie, on translating daily-action data into behavioural reflection; and Tech Art Fair, which included coding, electronics, Internet of Things installations, and responsive wearables. These are credited as curatorial projects, not as Algorithmics works or claims about a single artistic method.
Why it matters here
Benney’s programme is a reference for how data, environmental observation, technology, and audience experience can be held together without reducing any one to illustration. For Algorithmics, the useful question is curatorial: how can source data, generative rule, material output, and attribution remain visible as distinct parts of a work?
