Perched atop the mountain’s summit, where humanity has long sought to touch the divine, the exhibition uncovers the foundations of artificial intelligence transcendended to extreme heights. 

Throughout history, mountains have symbolized enlightenment and the pursuit of divine power. In this lofty setting, Ilse Kind’s work reimagines these aspirations within the context of technological progress at every cost. The height embodies humanity’s drive for godlike creation—artificial intelligence as a modern Prometheus, reaching toward omnipotence. 

Yet this ascent rests on unseen foundations. Hands— essential to human creation, now bear the hidden price of the digital age. The sculptures Hand 14, Hand 21, Hand 45, and Hand 71 —distorted, and anatomically flawed —reveal the hidden dependence on manual labor. The accompanying video work, Lifetime Approval Rate 96%, delves into the repetitive clicks of annotation workers whose uncanny gestures silently fuel the algorithms with the scrappy data that is increasingly shaping our world.
