Sometimes the projects that we do at the AGGV do not always ‘fit’ within the standard white-cubed gallery spaces you will find in our building on Moss Street. Sometimes our curatorial projects take place in remote communities, deep in the basement archives, in collaboration with other arts institutions, or in this case, within a kind of algorithmic museum!

As curators and public programmers we are often asked how projects come into being. The evolution of new initiatives are a slow build and the culmination of many conversations, merging of ideas, and listening.
