Jerry Galle’s work is all about the sometimes difficult relationship between digital technology and contemporary culture. He uses recent software and digital imagery in an unconventional way and stresses the role of technology in our daily life and artistic creation. His work explores the way how technological images and texts can produce new meaning. For Galle these ‘techno-texts’ and ‘techno-images’ can be geometrical or symbolic, playful or dead serious.
Digital doubt plays an important role in his work. He encounters this theme by the binary structure of the computer, meaning the 0 and the 1, the ‘yes’ and the ‘no’ of our contemporary technology. In a society where doubt is considered to be an unproductive quality, technology with its compulsive efficiency, has a pervasive effect on our social behavior. But when digital doubt is injected into a computer system, strange things happen.
AI messages
Words allow ideas to endure through time. An AI was asked to create a new language and write secret messages to its future self(s). The decision was made not to decipher the messages but to keep them encrypted as is. The AI messages are made in aluminium to last so that they can be deciphered in far away futures.
