Thursday 23 October – Sunday 26 October
10-6pm
POST, Second Floor, Industrial House, Conway Street, BN3 3LW
We are delighted to open the POST gallery with an inaugral exhibition by Belgian-London-based artist Marcel Top in collaboration with Photoworks and as part of the 2025 Dreamy Place Festival.
Poison Data, Kill Algorithms (2025), explores the ethical and technical landscapes surrounding automated data collection and mass surveillance. Top’s work investigates how private companies collect and manipulate data for algorithmic training, and how “data poisoning” can be used to resist oppressive surveillance practices.
As part of the ehibition Top will be in conversation with Amin Yousefi, Photoworks Assistant Curator, discussing his practice, layering research, documentary photography, and use of new technologies, including facial recognition, movement analysis, and deepfakes. The talk will explore the concept of manipulating datasets to disrupt extreme reliance on surveillance systems, highlighting questions of privacy, ethics, and citizen empowerment in a data-driven world.
Talk: 23rd October 2025, 5:30-7:30pm at POST.
