Join us at e-flux Screening room on Thursday, April 9 at 7pm for Testing, testing, co-presented by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics. The program brings together artistic and filmic examinations of intelligence testing from historical and archival perspectives, attentive to their ongoing effects in the present and their entanglement with artificial intelligence. Across the program, intelligence emerges as a performative system—one that measures minds, choreographs bodies, and dictates their position in space and in relation to one another. Historical documents, diagnostic forms, and built environments are treated as mutable scores, revealing how intelligence has been measured, rehearsed, and encoded over time, from racial and bureaucratic regimes to contemporary computational logics.
With Coleman Collins, Sandra Erbacher, and Ruth Estévez. More to be announced.
Testing, testing is curated by Eriola Pira in collaboration with Abirami Logendran as part of Vera List Center’s 2025–2027 Focus Theme, Matter of Intelligence. This screening is co-presented with e-flux Screening Room and supported by Office for Contemporary Art Norway.
