From Pablo Cardoza Gallery:
“Pablo Cardoza Gallery is pleased to present a solo show featuring works by London Ham. The opening reception will be on Saturday April 12th, 2025 from 6-10pm.
The Hand of God, with a Paring Knife (2025) is an exhibition of recent work by London Ham. The Hand of God … is a modular image system for producing dynamic visual compositions. Its core consists of two artist-designed algorithms that employ machine learning and computer vision to extract and recombine figures from cinematic imagery. While the artist selects the source material, the act of segmentation and composition is performed by a machine. In this sense, the project is as much about human choice as it is about what the machine sees. This is an artwork about the automation of creative labor, but it is also something more radical: an experiment in algorithmic aesthetics, where the logic of machinic vision accelerates beyond human intention. By repurposing a computer vision model originally designed for corporate-industrial applications—self-driving vehicles, package sorting, surveillance—the project transforms a tool of objectification into an instrument of artistic production. The result is an artwork that neither fully belongs to human authorship nor entirely to the machine, but rather to the accelerating interplay between them. The exhibition vernissage will take place Saturday, April 12, 2025 at Pablo Cardoza Gallery from 6-10 pm.
London Alexander Ham (b.1990) is an artist from Houston,TX who lives and works in London, UK. His ideas manifest in whichever material best suits their needs. His practice emerges from a long relationship with filmmaking that is refracted through experiments in sculpture, computer graphics, sound, and performance. From 2016 – 2019, he was the director of Blank Check, an artist-run gallery space. From 2022-2024, he was the director of The Car Wash. He is currently an MFA candidate in Computational Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Selected solo and group exhibitions include “Entropy Houston”, Flatland, Houston (2018), “Gimme Shelter”, Aurora Picture Show, Houston (2019), and “Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymous Bosch”, Basket Books & Art, Houston(2022) This is his first exhibition with Pablo Cardoza Gallery.”
