#34 What Can’t It Do?

See the work by Waèl Allouche in our Studio Space. He asked an early version of the current ChatGPT: “What is it a flag can’t do?” This question unexpectedly got answered in a very political way.

EN

Waèl Allouche’s work What a flag can’t do / long live Palestine (2020) is installed in our Studio Space. Allouche is interested in the way abstractions, such as data and algorithms, shape reality and vice versa. By digitizing phenomena and objects from the world around him he tries to understand them, before returning them to reality as reconstructions. In his work he questions the medium and symbols around him.

In 2020, for the project WHOmanity, he questioned the flag as a medium and its formal properties. He started a conversation with an early version of the current ChatGPT, a Plug and Play Language Model (PPLM). He asked: “What is it a flag can’t do?” This question unexpectedly got answered in a very political way.

The PPLM answered: “It’s a flag that has no legal standing, which is why we have to take action to protect the people of Palestine. We need to stop the use of flags and symbols. I hope that all the political parties can do more to protect Palestinian people, not just the people.”

WHOmanity is a project that showed flags made by artists on all Amsterdam ferries. The project was about the powerful communication means of flags, presenting 13 flags that play with language, images, symbols and beliefs.

Allouche explains about the work:

“Flags are all of all ages. But they do tell us the story of who is or isn’t seen or acknowledged within the times of nation states. They tell us who is and isn’t occupied or deemed inexistent. We decided to exhibit this flag to raise awareness for the current Genocide happening in Gaza.”

Allouche’s flag is visible daily from street level at Paulus Potterstraat 13. Now even more poignant than when it was made. What is a flag, what can it do, and what does it say about our lives, geopolitics and struggles?

Het werk What a flag can’t do / long live Palestine (2020) van Waèl Allouche is geïnstalleerd in onze Studio Space. Allouche is geïnteresseerd in de manier waarop abstracties, zoals data en algoritmen, de werkelijkheid vormgeven en vice versa. Door fenomenen en objecten uit de wereld om hem heen te digitaliseren probeert hij ze te begrijpen, voordat hij ze als reconstructies terugbrengt naar de werkelijkheid. In zijn werk bevraagt hij het medium en de symbolen om hem heen.

In 2020 bevroeg hij voor het project WHOmanity de vlag als medium en de formele eigenschappen ervan. Hij begon een gesprek met een vroege versie van de huidige ChatGPT, een Plug and Play Language Model (PPLM). Hij vroeg: “Wat kan een vlag niet?” Deze vraag werd onverwacht op een zeer politieke manier beantwoord.

Het PPLM antwoordde: “Het is een vlag die geen wettelijke status heeft, daarom moeten we actie ondernemen om de mensen in Palestina te beschermen. We moeten stoppen met het gebruik van vlaggen en symbolen. Ik hoop dat alle politieke partijen meer kunnen doen om het Palestijnse volk te beschermen, niet alleen het volk.”

WHOmanity is een project waarbij vlaggen gemaakt door kunstenaars op alle Amsterdamse veerboten te zien waren. Het project ging over het krachtige communicatiemiddel van vlaggen en presenteerde 13 vlaggen die spelen met taal, beelden, symbolen en overtuigingen.

Allouche legt uit over het werk:

“Vlaggen zijn van alle tijden. Maar ze vertellen ons het verhaal van wie wel of niet wordt gezien of erkend binnen de tijd van natiestaten. Ze vertellen ons wie wel en wie niet bezet is of als onbestaand wordt beschouwd. We besloten deze vlag tentoon te stellen om aandacht te vragen voor de huidige genocide in Gaza.”

De vlag van Allouche is dagelijks zichtbaar vanaf straatniveau aan de Paulus Potterstraat 13. Nu nog aangrijpender dan toen hij werd gemaakt. Wat is een vlag, wat kan hij doen en wat zegt hij over ons leven, geopolitiek en strijd?

Every year on the 1st of July we commemorate slavery and celebrate the abolition of slavery: Keti Koti. Since we believe that Keti Koti should be a national holiday, we are closed on the 1st of July. We asked Lydiënne Albertoe to design a graphic work for this particular occasion. The work is placed on the door of our Central Space and the windows of the Studio Space.
