The workshop will introduce participants to 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), a novel machine learning approach to volumetric data representation and rendering, and explore its application in Extended Reality (XR).

Join us for a short overview of the possibilities that augmented and virtual realities have brought to the art sector in recent years. You can also be part of an interactive workshop and presentation where you will learn about new media and 3D tools while having the chance to be a co-creator of A Beacon…

Mainstream AI narratives suck. We are stuck with language, visuals and metaphors that force us to think about AI’s “transformative potential” and “inevitable adoption”. But is that what we want? At this workshop we will collectively create alternative AI narratives and examine their building blocks.

In globalized AI culture, resource allocation and biases often lead to text-to-image generation. Given the lack of cultural diversity in databases, AI may produce images that do not correspond to reality. This workshop will educate participants on the principles of text-to-image generation and its limitations.

Transforming LLMs into Physically Embodied Beings.In this workshop, we will explore the essentials of Large Language Models (LLMs), covering the basics of their inner workings, training objectives, and how these relate to effective prompting strategies.

This workshop explores different theoretical concepts related to the topics of power, control, digital labor, and exploitation. It is designed to help us understand the complexities enabling the new structures of power hidden behind the screens of our devices.

Urban life is diverse, and so are our visions of what the future of cities should look like. Digital city twins and city dashboards offer interactive encounters with the city and can help us shape urban futures together.

Designing Positive Energy Districts through Gameplay. Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are seen as one of the key urban transition pathways towards climate neutrality. The European Union has set out a vision of creating 100 PEDs in Europe by 2025.

Our virtual and real lives are almost completely interconnected. Online, offline, virtual, physical & genders—all blend into a hypersoup with one ingredient particularly standing out. AI has furiously entered the chat.

Into the E-Metropolis: TRONSFORMATION is a workshop facilitated through hacking.

Food, with its close association with culture, is something we all have in common, breaking down barriers and bringing us all together.

Have you ever posted something online that you later wanted to delete? And if so, is it truly removed? meta:morphosis presents an opportunity to explore our digital Right to be Forgotten.

The Solar Share stages a form of planetary economics based on photosynthesis. Every day a microalgae culture converts sunlight into edible biomass. The yield of the 1 sq.m bioreactor is a concrete means of measuring solar income—actual new energy entering the Earth’s metabolism.

Woven around the Five Pillars of IFA — an ancient divination system from West Africa — the two-hour ritual explores the possibilities of how we could Eat, Play, Dream, Pray, and Love in an ideal future.
