The Hearth is a work in The Call, the 2024 Serpentine installation by Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst. A wall-mounted organ-like instrument of GPU cooling fans arranged as an altar, it greets visitors and stands for computation.
We liked the idea of the show having a hearth and had been reading Inventing the Individual by Larry Seidentop.

The Hearth physically references the architecture of neural networks and the physicality of an instrument, while the name suggests a place that brings people together.
