Dixit Algorizmi - The Garden of Knowledge
We are excited to announce that the Pavilion of Uzbekistan at the 59th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia will be designed and curated by Space Caviar with Sheida Ghomashchi.
The Pavilion of Uzbekistan will be a platform for a collective and interdisciplinary reflection on the relationship between art and technology. It will take as its starting point the seminal work of Muhammad ibn Musa al Khwarizmi, a scientist and polymath born and raised in the city of Khiva (present-day Uzbekistan), whose book Kitab Al Jabr Wa-al-Muqabala, later introduced to Europe in a Latin translation under the title Dixit Algorizmi, laid the foundations for contemporary computer science.
The pavilion will be an extension of an ongoing investigation which began with the exhibition Dixit Algorizmi presented in 2021 at CCA Tashkent curated by Space Caviar with Sheida Ghomashchi.
