AI / VI
Aleksandar Bulajić (RS), Ana Popović (RS), Isidora Pejović Blagojević (RS), Maja Maksimović (RS) and Sunčica Pasuljević Kandić (RS)

Walk through Belgrade with the authors of the pervasive game problematizing different aspects of AI. AI / VI is a pervasive game using a smartphone. A specially designed application with an AI ​​function that acts as a guide through the game, occasionally uniting the player and AI into a symbiotic metaorganism. The game has no pre-set routes or endings; the path that opens is gradually shaped by the players. The mapped points of the game open spaces between different institutions in Belgrade and problematize the role of AI in private and public life. The goal of the game is to put the players in a position to re-examine the current human and algorithmic ways of decision-making and their consequences in the near future.

better off online. World Wide Webb. Curated by Anika Meier
KÖNIG GALERIE - Berlin / Tokyo / London / Digital

World Wide Webb by the British artist Thomas Webb is a virtual world the digital visitor enters through the browser on a smartphone. It is a multiplayer video game, a digital exhibition space and a world full of art and characters the visitor is invited to interact with. Webb recreates the social spontaneity of the world pre-Covid-19. He built a virtual world for new media artists to share their thoughts on what technology is and could be. The visitor meets AI avatars designed by Webb, to reflect the human nature and to question the use of technology in the digital age. Net art is presented in its genuine medium, the digital realm, where video art is also easily accessible.
PRESTIGE Art & Science Residency

Migration – Sunshine Architecture explores the idea of energy autonomy while questioning our apparent ease of access to it. To reconsider our relationship with energy and its consumption, it is interesting to present energy as a limited, thereby precious, resource. Discover how Migration – Sunshine Architecture has been developed by KompleX KapharnaüM (KxKm), a French team comprised of video makers, musicians, technicians, writers, performers, and makers that performs in public space.
