Dora Budor & Noah Barker's new work Monte Carlo Method (2026), which premieres at the n.b.k. in November 2026, is based on the mathematical model of the same name, used to estimate the possible outcomes of uncertain events. The Monte Carlo method, which has its origins in the so-called Manhattan Project and is central to financial forecasting, structures the film, which examines a city and a century built on chance. In addition, the artists are activating the n.b.k. billboard at the heavily trafficked intersection of Friedrichstraße and Torstraße, in the immediate vicinity of the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.).
Dora Budor (*Croatia) and Noah Barker (*California) live in New York. Their joint video works have been shown, among other places, at: WIELS – Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst, Brussels (2026); mumok, Vienna (2025); Kunstverein Braunschweig, Braunschweig (2025); MoMA PS1, New York (2024); Simian, Copenhagen (2023); Kunsthaus Bregenz (2022).
