Emilia Yang Exhibits in "Debox: a Wrong Biennale Pavilion"

A digital extension of Stamps Assistant Professor Emilia Yang’s AMA y No Olvida, Museum of Memory Against Impunity is featured in Debox — a Wrong Biennale Pavilion, a virtual exhibition from Public Access Memories Gallery. The exhibition, curated by Jenna deBoisblanc and Jon Chambers, brings together embedded videos, interactive net art, 3D virtual worlds, and works woven into the Public Access Memories site itself, with works by Nimrod Astarhan, Nick Briz, Mou Peijing, Everest Pipkin, Eryk Salvaggio, Philipp Schmitt, Caroline Sinders, Chelsea Thompto, Rodell Warner, and Emilia Yang.

Debox examines the hidden structures of artificial intelligence by positioning transparency as an artistic and political act. In a world where AI systems operate as opaque ​“black boxes,” the exhibition brings together artists who expose the processes, data, and decisions behind their work.

This show features projects that engage with dataset creation, especially those that center personal archives, underrepresented communities, or alternative knowledge systems. This includes memory work — acts of documenting, preserving, or resisting erasure through data.

Public Access Memories (PAM) is a virtual net art gallery that situates digital works within their native environment. The gallery hosts exhibitions (solo and group), artist talks, and more. An evolving canvas, PAM invites collaborative brainstorming and critical reflection on the nature of the white cube online.
