GPT 1400: The AI Apothecary
Nathan Cornish (GB)

Transient – Cloud Chamber Vol. 1
Yuri Tanaka (JP), Akitaka Ariga (JP), Chris Bruckmayr (AT), Pavle Dinulović (RS), Umut Kose (TR), Rohan Sachdeva (IN)
A cloud chamber is a particle detector that allows us to directly observe radiation with the naked eye, including cosmic muons, enabling the design of an art installation meant to transform each detected muon into a visual trail and a corresponding sound, in real-time. In this everlasting, cosmic ambivalence, there is beauty to be found…
