4 JULY – 2 NOVEMBER
OPEN MONDAY-SATURDAY, 10AM-4PM
THE EXCHANGE, CENTENARY SQUARE, B1 2DR

Ikon and University of Birmingham present We need 2 tlk, a new moving image installation by Midlands-based artist Exodus Crooks as part of AI FUTURES  at The Exchange, the University of Birmingham’s city centre venue in Centenary Square.

Commissioned by Ikon and University of Birmingham, with support from Birmingham-based Vivid Projects, Exodus has explored public perceptions of AI and reflections on media and technology as outlined in the work of celebrated Jamaican-British academic and cultural theorist Professor Stuart Hall (1932–2014).

We need 2 tlk focuses on the haptics and gestures present in everyday phone use and the processing of information from the eye, brain and hands. We need 2 tlk is presented in The Vaults, an exhibition space carved out from the old Municipal Bank’s basement secure room.
