Voidopolis
Kat Mustatea (US), Process Studio (AT)
Voidopolis is a digital performance about loss and memory presented as an AR book with a limited lifespan. A loose retelling of Dante’s Inferno informed by the grim experience of wandering through NYC during a pandemic, the book’s garbled pages can only be deciphered with an AR app which, after enough readings, decays the images and words just as memory would.
Made to Measure
Group Laokoon (DE): Cosima Terrasse (FR), Moritz Riesewieck (DE), Hans Block (DE)
Is it possible to create a doppelganger of someone using only their personal Google data? The artistic data experiment MADE TO MEASURE allows viewers to tangibly experience what conclusions can be drawn about a person's character, psychology and future behavior through algorithms. Who determines who we are and who we think we are?
IntraBeing
Eli Joteva (BG/US)
What lies within the bounds of being? IntraBeing envisions enigmatic spaces beyond the capacities of medical imaging tools. The project employs MRI-acquired data to reveal alternative time scales inside the human body; digitized flesh, nerve fibers and hydrogen atoms unveil magnetic potentials that augment our material sense of being.
LIT Exhibition
While art and science once fed from a common source, the two disciplines were steered in separate directions at the end of the Renaissance. The rise of media art in the mid-20th century marks a turning point in this divergent development. Technological and scientific achievements were absorbed by art and advanced to become the raw material of aesthetic expression.
The Chiromancer
Matthias Pitscher (DE), Giacomo Piazzi (IT)
The Chiromancer is an AI that mastered the art of palm reading to predict the future. The machine extends the ancient practice of chiromancy by combining biometric data with cloud-based knowledge. Like so many other devices we use today, it collects, stores, and extrapolates user data to generate hopes and wishes with technical prediction systems.
