Why is Palantir sponsoring the Dimensions art exhibition in Leipzig?

More than 900 signa­tures

Palan­tir is a US-based data ana­ly­tics com­pa­ny who­se busi­ness model seems to be the pushing and excee­ding of any ethi­cal and legal boun­da­ries that stand in the way of a ful­ly “trans­pa­rent huma­ni­ty”. Some ques­ti­ons come to mind. What was the reaso­ning behind Palan­tir’s decis­i­on to spon­sor the Dimen­si­ons exhi­bi­ti­on in Leip­zig? What exact­ly were the role of art impre­sa­rio Wal­ter Smer­ling and the asso­cia­ti­on Foun­da­ti­on for Art and Cul­tu­re e.V. (Bonn) which he heads, after his efforts were stif­led in Ber­lin? What role do art, cura­tors and artists play in such an exhi­bi­ti­on?

Who is Palantir?

Palan­tir is a com­pa­ny who­se main busi­ness is the sur­veil­lan­ce of indi­vi­du­als, and who­se spe­cia­liza­ti­on lies in the mer­ging of what should be sepa­ra­te data sets. Palan­tir’s pro­ducts recent­ly expe­ri­en­ced set­backs in the Ger­man courts. The soft­ware Hes­sen­Da­ta has come under cri­ti­cism for its mul­ti­ple poli­ce data­ba­se poo­ling that also has peo­p­le indi­rect­ly lin­ked to a case – say, mem­bers of a sports club – auto­ma­ti­cal­ly che­cked. In Bava­ria, too, the Palan­tir Got­ham soft­ware used as a “cross-pro­ce­du­ral search and ana­ly­sis plat­form (Vera)” rai­ses eye­brows.

Alt­hough clas­si­fied as tech­ni­cal­ly matu­re by the Fraun­ho­fer Insti­tu­te, con­sti­tu­tio­nal con­cerns remain. As for Palan­tir’s Big Data, Arti­fi­ci­al Intel­li­gence, and Machi­ne Lear­ning algo­rith­ms, the­re still remains a par­ti­al or com­ple­te lack of suf­fi­ci­ent legal regu­la­ti­ons for their use. All in all, Tho­mas Petri, the Bava­ri­an Sta­te Data Pro­tec­tion Com­mis­sio­ner con­siders the man­ner in which Palan­tir’s data is mer­ged “high­ly pro­ble­ma­tic”.

Palan­tir has been cri­ti­ci­zed in the past for its exten­si­ve coope­ra­ti­on with the Trump admi­nis­tra­ti­on, which, among other things, desi­gned and used the soft­ware to track underage migrants and their par­ents in the United Sta­tes. The busi­ness model con­sis­ted in part not only of a crossing of ethi­cal boun­da­ries but also of the use of soft­ware under deve­lo­p­ment, finan­ced by govern­ment funds. It is the­r­e­fo­re clear to see why the Ger­man mar­ket exci­tes Palan­tir, name­ly as an oppor­tu­ni­ty to grab govern­ment fun­ding.

Palan­tir’s com­pa­ny foun­der, Peter Thiel, has made a name for hims­elf as a right-wing con­ser­va­ti­ve bil­lionaire who sup­ports like-min­ded can­di­da­tes in U.S. elec­tion cam­paigns. Among many other things, Thiel is a pro­mo­ter of the high­ly pro­ble­ma­tic ideo­lo­gy of ‘long­ter­mism’, a view that posi­ti­ons tech­no­lo­gy as value-neu­tral, ther­eby deny­ing any human respon­si­bi­li­ty for the social impacts of this tech­no­lo­gy. This approach is well reflec­ted in Thiels’ Palan­tir ope­ra­ti­on, and also in its choice to spon­sor the Dimen­si­ons exhi­bi­ti­on – more on this below.

This marks Leip­zig as a bit of an odd choice. After all, the Sta­si head­quar­ters were stor­med in Leip­zig in 1989, and more recent­ly, the initia­ti­ve ‘Leip­zig Came­ra’, for one, ope­ra­ting in the city for many years, tar­ge­ting the sabo­ta­ge of sur­veil­lan­ce came­ras in public spaces. It would­n’t be a stretch to say that the oppo­si­ti­on to sur­veil­lan­ce, snoo­ping and data aggre­ga­ti­on is one of the main city­’s lega­ci­es. 

Palantir in Leipzig? Walter Smerling enters the stage.

“Leip­zig is a very dyna­mic city, the­re is a lot of curio­si­ty here. We are cer­tain that the the­me will be well recei­ved,” says art impre­sa­rio Wal­ter Smer­ling. We can’t help but recall that Smer­ling was also the name behind the pro­ble­ma­tic group exhi­bi­ti­on Diver­si­ty United, who­se patron, among others, was Vla­di­mir Putin.

To deflect any cri­ti­cism, unli­ke with ‘Diver­si­ty United’ Smer­ling cho­se to renoun­ce sta­te fun­ding for the Leip­zig show Dimen­si­ons. Ins­tead, he secu­red Palan­tir and Deut­sche Tele­kom, which has repor­ted­ly shown inte­rest in coope­ra­ting with Palan­tir as spon­sors. After visi­ting the exhi­bi­ti­on, for the com­ple­te set up of a show con­cep­tua­li­zed and impor­ted from out of town, we esti­ma­te its bud­get at around 300,000 and 500,000 EUR. This kind of bud­get was sure to enti­ce the Pitt­ler-Werk show space. Leip­zi­g’s cul­tu­ral insti­tu­tes and initia­ti­ves are known to be chro­ni­cal­ly strap­ped for cash. By com­pa­ri­son, in 2021 the city of Leip­zig fun­ded 37 inde­pen­dent art pro­jects (i.e., pro­jects not tied to insti­tu­ti­ons) with a total of 185,576 EUR. In other words, that was the total sum of funds allo­ca­ted by the city for inde­pen­dent visu­al arts pro­jects.

Mean­while, the Ber­li­ner ice was get­ting thin for Smer­ling. In addi­ti­on to the flack he took for the exhi­bi­ti­on ‘Diver­si­ty United’, his attempt­ed deal on the art cen­ter Kunst­hal­le Ber­lin had to be rever­sed after Ber­lin artists* cal­led for a boy­cott of the pro­ject and the city of Ber­lin re-ques­tio­ned their gene­rous spon­so­ring. The reasons were the “Sys­tem Smer­ling” (FAZ) with repea­ted­ly une­thi­cal choice of spon­sors within a clo­se net­work bet­ween busi­ness, poli­tics and art, as well as the appro­pria­ti­on and pri­va­tiza­ti­on of public space up to self-empowe­ring for­eign cul­tu­ral poli­cy, e.g. in Chi­na or Rus­sia. No lon­ger able to get his foot in Ber­lin’s door, Smer­ling now seems to be squeezing in via Leip­zig. The means remain simi­lar: art that pre­tends to par­ti­ci­pa­te in dis­cour­se and com­pa­nies as spon­sors that eva­de public scru­ti­ny.

If, like Palan­tir, your hands appear dir­ty or at least your image seems tar­nis­hed, one rede­eming way to attract public atten­ti­on would be to spon­sor an art exhi­bi­ti­on. The prin­ci­ple, epi­to­mi­zed by the gas com­pa­ny Gaz­prom or the phar­maceu­ti­cal com­pa­ny Sack­ler, is also known as ‘Art Washing’.

On the role of art

The title “Dimen­si­ons — Digi­tal Art sin­ce 1859”, sug­gests an attempt to wri­te an art histo­ry, if not one of digi­ta­li­ty. What kind of nar­ra­ti­ve is sup­po­sed to unfold exact­ly, in the inter­play of digi­tal art within the halls of what was once Euro­pe’s lar­gest fac­to­ry for machi­ne manu­fac­tu­ring for gun bar­rels and muni­ti­ons pro­duc­tion?

Good ques­ti­on. The con­nec­tion bet­ween mili­ta­ry tech­no­lo­gy and con­tem­po­ra­ry digi­tal art has been evi­dent at least sin­ce the days of Paul Viri­lio and Harun Faro­cki, but it will not be com­men­ted on here. Whe­re­as the show­’s cura­tor, Dr. Dan Xu, cham­pi­ons crea­ti­vi­ty and con­tex­tu­al com­pe­tence, any attempts to find com­men­ta­ry on working con­di­ti­ons, sur­veil­lan­ce mecha­nisms or dis­cri­mi­na­to­ry appli­ca­ti­ons of tech­no­lo­gy in the con­text of digi­ta­li­ty in ‘Dimen­si­ons’ are prac­ti­cal­ly in vain.

A lar­ge part of the work igno­res the social con­di­ti­ons of digi­ta­li­ty whe­re­as any data visua­liza­ti­ons and instal­la­ti­ons are meant to pass as bold state­ments for their sheer monu­men­ta­li­ty. If a his­to­rio­gra­phy of the digi­tal is inde­ed sup­po­sed to take place here, then it cle­ar­ly negle­cts the here and now. But regard­less of any epoch, Dimen­si­ons’ noti­on of ‘the digi­tal’ is a cipher for tech­no­lo­gy bey­ond any social cau­se and effect.

The­re is no men­ti­on of the ato­mi­zing of labor to opti­mi­sa­ti­on employee-per­for­mance, as done by Ama­zon’s ful­fill­ment cen­ters, algo­rithm-run ser­vice pro­vi­ders like Uber, or any con­tem­po­ra­ry deli­very ser­vice for that mat­ter.

The­re is no talk of stock mar­ket spe­cu­la­ti­on on a micro­sco­pic sca­le by means of com­pu­ta­ti­on bey­ond any demo­cra­tic con­trol.

The­re is no men­ti­on of the tedious labor of labe­l­ing hundreds of images every day by click­wor­kers who are them­sel­ves ren­de­red into a cheap form of data for the AI to crunch, nor is men­ti­on of under­paid social media con­tent mode­ra­tors who fil­ter out the worst por­no­gra­phy and vio­lence at the expen­se of their own men­tal health.

Alt­hough the­se effects of the digi­tal have been addres­sed by num­e­rous artists, they are con­spi­cuous­ly absent in Dimen­si­ons. At most, the­re may have been a ten­ta­ti­ve coded refe­rence to cen­sor­ship in tota­li­ta­ri­an Chi­na in one of the works… but that just might be an inter­pre­ta­ti­on.

The show announ­ces “spec­ta­cu­lar art” on its home­page. Art as spec­ta­cle. This also seems to be the pur­po­se of the Dimen­si­ons exhi­bi­ti­on: a lavish eye-pop­ping art­wa­shing ope­ra­ti­on for the Palan­tir brand. 

The final touch could have been a sel­fie sta­ti­on with data ent­ry lin­ked to Palan­tir’s Got­ham moni­to­ring soft­ware, or may­be the cura­tors found it too on the nose. Ins­tead, the spon­sors, Palan­tir and Deut­sche Tele­kom were given a sub­stan­ti­ve podi­um at the ope­ning sym­po­si­um.

It is no coin­ci­dence that Palan­tir is publi­shing a book at the same time entit­led “From Arti­fi­ci­al to Aug­men­ted Intel­li­gence — What we can learn from art to shape the future with soft­ware”. In inter­views with Palan­tir CEO Alex Karp, it also beco­mes clear that the exhi­bi­ti­on par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on goes bey­ond “art-washing”: Here, not only the own brand is to be pla­ced in the posi­ti­ve light of art, but the con­cept of free art its­elf is to be appro­pria­ted in order to demand the grea­test pos­si­ble free­dom wit­hout respon­si­bi­li­ty for the pro­gramm­ers of sur­veil­lan­ce soft­ware as a “colo­ny of artists” (Alex Karp).

In sum­ma­ry: The show Dimen­si­ons appears to be an attempt to dis­tract the public from any poli­ti­cal dimen­si­on of the digi­tal by nego­tia­ting the histo­ry of the digi­tal pri­ma­ri­ly as an aes­the­tic phe­no­me­non. That way, any ques­ti­ons about demo­cra­tic con­trol of sur­veil­lan­ce tech­no­lo­gies and the appro­pria­ti­on of data by cor­po­ra­ti­ons like Palan­tir may hop­eful­ly be eva­ded.

Our demands:

We demand a cri­ti­cal atti­tu­de towards exhi­bi­ti­ons that enga­ge in a depo­li­ti­ci­zed his­to­rio­gra­phy.

We demand an open dis­cus­sion and a rethin­king with regard to sponsors—preferably not a co-opted dis­cus­sion super­vi­sed by the spon­sors them­sel­ves whe­re they can con­trol the set­ting to their liking.

We demand the deve­lo­p­ment of ethi­cal gui­de­lines for the finan­cing and pro­mo­ti­on of art exhi­bi­ti­ons. The­se gui­de­lines should first and fore­most be dis­cus­sed among the city­’s inde­pen­dent art spaces and insti­tu­tes.

We demand stron­ger sup­port of the inde­pen­dent sce­ne by the city of Leip­zig, with which, this kind of toxic spon­sor­ship would­n’t be nee­ded in the first place.
