Q1 Close, final day tomorrow

Open 11am - 5pm
Platform, Canberra Contemporary
19 Furneaux St, Forrest

“[Q1 Close] can best be understood not just as an artwork in itself but as a representation of what happens to art after it is eaten by the machinery of modern industries. It suggests that celebrity millionaires like Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, and Kris Jenner, are the perfect ambassadors for this new era of artistic consumption, because celebrities—as with AI and as with art—are powered by their own forms of egocentrism. Companies like Meta are shameless in their ambitions to turn all human visual experience into computable episodic moments. They commodify everything—perspective, interaction, emotions—and art is no exception.” @proxy_thao by @litiaroko

A little essay from me on the Meta Ego4D dataset and what happens to art after it is eaten by the machinery of modern industries for absolute angel @litiaroko's new work "Q1 Close" at @platform_canberracontemporary 💐

Open for the next few weeks! Get down there and see it live!

Q1 Close
Litia Roko
5 - 14 December
Platform by Canberra Contemporary
19 Furneaux st, Forrest ACT

ℍ𝕖𝕪 𝕄𝕖𝕥𝕒, 𝕎𝕙𝕠 𝔼𝕒𝕥𝕤 𝔸𝕣𝕥?

A bespectacled Chris Pratt stares pensively at a fresh banana duct taped to a wall. “Hey Meta, what’s this?” he asks. An automated voice replies: “This piece is called Comedian by Maurizo Cattelan valued at $6.2 million dollars.” He lets out a wide-eyed “woah!” before turning to contemplate another artwork in the gallery

This is the ad used by the tech multinational Meta to launch their newest venture into wearable tech: a pair of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered smart glasses. Made in collaboration with the company Ray-Ban, the glasses allow its users to “let AI see what you see, hear what you hear.” They come replete with built-in camera, microphone, speakers, augmented reality display, and access to a digital assistant that can quickly answer questions, pull up pictures and text, and in other ways help you to navigate the frictions of the real world.

Modelled by Pratt and a host of other celebrities, the glasses are shown live in action identifying objects, translating foreign phrases, and playing music. In one scene, Pratt looks on in horror as his Marvel co-star Chris Hemsworth is shown mistakenly eating the $6.2 million Cattelan banana. “I was hungry,” Hemsworth says naively. A third Kris, Kris Jenner, appears and in a wry voice asks “Hey Meta, who eats art?”

“Who eats art?” is the hinge for Litia Roko’s 2025 work Q1 Close. Such absurd scenes designed to skewer the conservative sensibility of art as elite cultural practice are what defines Roko’s own wry approach to the work of art in the age of mechanical (read: commercially platform mediated, capitalist-colonial-extractivist, opaque and algorithmically parsed) reproduction.

For Roko, the question of “who eats art?” begs the answer. Meta eats art, because Meta eats everything by @litiaroko
