Duchamp Through the Eyes of artist Kendell Geers: A Tech-Infused Perspective

Attila Vizi, the @winefundamentalist

I still couldn’t get my hands on Duchamp's Endgame by Kendell Geers, and I can’t wait to read it so much that I made AI generate a short conversation about it.

This book, published by Yale University Press in 2024, promises a bold reexamination of Duchamp, linking him to classical masters like da Vinci, Dürer, Ingres, and Poussin. Having had the chance to hear Kendall speak in his Brussels studio about the book, I know his perspective will be anything but conventional.

Until I can dive into the book myself, I decided to bridge the gap between art history and cutting-edge technology by using AI (NotebookLM by Google) to generate a virtual podcast, serving as conversational intro to Geers' take on Duchamp. What happens when an old-school book, the legacy of Duchamp, and AI collide? A fresh way of seeing.



Geers’ interpretation promises to shake up traditional narratives, just as Duchamp once did by turning a urinal into art. AI, in its own way, disrupts and reinterprets, making past and future meet in unexpected ways. Reading Duchamp through Geers—filtered through AI—feels like a conceptual experiment in itself. A ready-made, a remix, a challenge to linear thought.

Now, I just need to get my hands on this old-school medium, the book.
