AI Lab Exhibition
The Museum of Edible Earth
masharu (RU/NL)
The Museum of Edible Earth is a cross-disciplinary project with a core collection of earth samples which are eaten for various reasons by different people across the globe.
Baitul Ma’mur: House of Angels
Joe Davis (US), Sarah Khan (PK)
The project is about to keep 2.417 quintillion angels on the head of a pin.
The Wandering Mind
Gershon Dublon (US), Xin Liu (CN), with guest artist Xiao Xiao (US/FR)
Shape your dreams with the sounds of our world. The Wandering Mind is an AI-powered micro-sampler that assembles winding soundscapes from thousands of global field recordings found online. In curated performances, group naps and guided mind-wanderings, we convene collective actions of sleeping together. In this special series for Ars, entitled “Field Sketches from Imaginary Travels,” guest performer Xiao Xiao combines the ambient soundscapes of Wandering Mind with improvisational theremin, keyboard, and vocals.
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?
Cypress Trees, a beginning
Anna Ridler (UK), Caroline Sinders (US)
How can AI help us to face the climate crisis and other entwined challenges? This machine-learning-generated moving image piece gives insights into the complexity of data sets and raises questions about deforestation and the politics of climate change, memory and loss. Anna Ridler and Caroline Sinders created a special dataset of the Bald Cypress on the gulf coast of the USA, where both have family ties.
Moon Rabbit
Sarah Petkus (US), Mark J. Koch (US)
In a research and development phase lasting several months, Sarah Petkus and Mark J. Koch attempt to teach a suite of artificial intelligences to recognize familiar shapes and objects in images of star clusters, planetary surfaces, and other celestial bodies.
Triopic Spectacle
PDNB (Postdigital Neobaroque) (AT/DE/IT/GB)
Triopic Spectacle endeavours to flatten the hierarchies between the real and the potential. It challenges the outmoded, myopic, binary thinking of local/global, 1s/0s, individual/collective, real/virtual, analog/digital, natural/artificial by establishing two-way windows, bridges, interfaces, portals and glitches between three ‘triopic’ domains: ‘real reality’, ‘mixed reality’, ‘virtual reality’.
Codex Virtualis
Interspecifics (INT)
Codex Virtualis is an artistic research framework oriented towards the generation of an evolving taxonomic collection of hybrid bacterial-AI organisms.
Transformation of Scenery
Yoichi Ochiai (JP)
In order to mediate between the massive landscapes composed by original nature and the massless landscapes described by digital nature, Yoichi Ochiai continues to create artwork for transforming scenery. Between mass and masslessness, he is searching for a longing for mass and a sentiment for pixels.
