NEW YORK, NY.- Phillips and Daata Editions announced the second digital artwork jointly commissioned through their partnership – Rachel Rossin’s Recursive Truth. Based on generative AI research, Recursive Truth uses video game mods and deep fakes to explore loss, memory, and truth as a medium. Bugs created inside the work expose the fragility of memory and ultimately either destroy the video game or function only as visual gags. The new video work debuts at Phillips New York from 8 – 12 June and will also be available to collectors worldwide online at Daata Editions and Phillips.com.

Also on view in conjunction with Recursive Truth is The Edge of Reason, a new playlist curated by Daata Editions and Phillips to commemorate the commission. Artists featured include Sue de Beer, Keren Cytter, Hayden Dunham, Casey Jane Ellison, FlucT, Kara Gut, Cassie McQuater, Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings, Hannah Perry, Georgie Roxby Smith. The playlist will be on view in the Box Space at Phillips concurrently with Recursive Truth.

She has exhibited in New York, London, Miami, Seattle, Basel, Shanghai, Riga, Istanbul and Helsinki. In 2015 she was the first recipient of the Fellowship in Virtual Reality Research and Development from New Museum’s NEW INC. In 2019 she will have solo shows at Zabludowicz Collection in London, 14a in Hamburg, Germany and a new commission for the Akron Art Museum in Akron, OH.
