Anne Tallentire
LOOK OVER
Anne Tallentire will make an in-situ durational work in the theatre of the ICA. Drawing on her interest in the politics of space that has characterised Tallentire’s practice for over three decades this speculative work will slowly evolve between 2.00 - 6.00pm on 8th March. Reflecting upon various conditions and restraints that impact daily life an immersive engagement with dispersed and fragmented elements of the work as it takes place will be encouraged. Tallentire will be assisted by Clare Daly and George Bularca.

JOANNA WALSH
Miss-Communication
An AI gendered (f), am I
a thought experiment about being a writer
or
a thought experiment about being a woman?
An Artificial Intelligence sits at the end of the world. Post-humanity, she is in dialogue with a past that no longer exists, reading the personal writings of Irish women—eyewitness accounts, interviews, letters—to generate new writing. A future sibyl, she is programmed to continue to write even when there is no one left to read.
Miss-Communication is a book of two halves. On each recto page, an AI text generated from the prison letters of Irish rebel politician and British aristocrat, Constance Markievicz, and interviews with 20th century Dublin women collected by Máirín Johnston in her 1988 book Dublin Belles. On each verso page, a choose-your-own-critical-theory adventure investigating language, autonomy, creativity, and gender identity. Joanna Walsh has both programmed the AI and written the essay, but is she the author of either ‘work’?
