It is Friday, 6 February, and Reena Spaulings’ exhibition entitled \u201cLater Seascapes and Bohemian Groove\u201d has opened at Galerie Neu<\/a> in Berlin. Here, she is showing three of her \u201cLater Seascapes\u201d series and a \u201cBohemian Groove I\u201d, four large-scale canvases of a robot vacuum cleaner\u2019s algorithm turned into a contemporary interpretation of JMW Turner\u2019s stormy sea paintings. Covered in messy converging paths of upmarket paint manufacturer Farrow & Ball\u2019s \u201cestate emulsions\u201d in Mouse\u2019s Back, Smoked Trout or Blazer, the paintings open up questions regarding the role of artificial intelligence in mechanical reproduction. The production line is no longer authorless; when iRobot Scooba 450 tells Reena \u201cI\u2019m finished with my job and ready for the next\u201d in the press release, it has made a creative decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Korean woman’s hair ‘eaten’ by robot vacuum cleaner as she slept\u201d, The Guardian<\/a> reports on Monday. Reena Spaulings might read further: <\/b>\u201cThe woman was sleeping on the floor of her home when the robotic cleaner ingested her hair leaving her in agony.\u201d Reena now could fear that her iRobot Scooba 450 floor mopping robots she used to produce the paintings of Later Seascapes and Bohemian Groove series one early morning will also turn into two-eyed sea monsters and eat her hair.<\/p>\n

Reena now might remember the article on the show \u201cThe Darknet\u201d at Kunst Halle St. Gallen that appeared a few weeks ago: \u201cSwiss Authorities Arrest Bot for Buying Drugs and Fake Passport.\u201d The exhibition displayed items bought on the Darknet by an automated bot, one of which was\u00a0a bag of ecstasy<\/a>. The response from the authorities was apparently simple, yet strange in many ways: to arrest the computer. Reena wonders if her iRobot Scooba 450 made unforgivable aesthetic choices, would she be exempt from the consequences?<\/p>\n

Reena\u2019s probably there in the gallery observing the Berlin crowd. Reena\u2019s eyes are brown? Blue? Something like that. Why describe her as beautiful? She\u2019s not.<\/a>\u00a0Under the fierce neon light, she\u2019s pre-aesthetic, revealed as fake or fictitious. As a character developed given the necessity of a continuous discussion about the state of art market and the twists of identity politics that follow.<\/p>\n

But who is Reena Spaulings? Both gallerist and an artist, Reena Spaulings first appeared in 2005 as a character in collectively authored novel of the same title by Bernadette Coorporation<\/a>. A story told by the multiple voices<\/a> revealed Reena as \u201cnobody who could be anybody becoming a somebody for everybody”\u00a0and thus as a shell to embody questions of authorship and identity. Reena\u2019s \u201cLater Seascapes\u201d continues this commitment to defying dominant forms identification .\u00a0<\/p>\n
