TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30
On our last day in London, we wandered along the Serpentine river in Hyde Park until we reached the Serpentine Gallery, and the most interesting contemporary art show to date. A friend suggested we see the Pierre Huyghe exhibition, titled uumwelt. A master of creating suggestive creepiness, his show consisted of projected transmuting globular video images in dimly lit rooms, a faint sound of buzzing flies. , Dead flies littered the floors. It felt post-apocalyptic, post-human, but later learned I learned from reading the exhibition description that Huyghe was investigating algorithms and AI. The video images mutated based on the movement of the flies and the people in the rooms.
We continued our stroll through the park for about an hour then made our way home to pack and clean.
