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 Historical documents, diagnostic forms, and built environments are treated as mutable scores, revealing how intelligence has been measured, rehearsed, and encoded over time, from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.Across the program, intelligence and testing emerge as performative systems—ones that measure minds, choreograph bodies, and dictate their position in space and in relation to one another. Participants include Coleman Collins, Sandra Erbacher, and Ruth Estévez, who are joined in conversation with co-curator Abirami Logendran.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.
