Journeys

Ubuntu – The Other Me!

Simon Weckert (DE)

| | |

The video journey wants to create a dialog between the artworks by the artist and AI-driven technologies in the process of making and creating. On the one hand, the scenario shows the environment the artist is working in with technologies as a tool that affect his artworks. On the other hand, it shows how these tools shape and manipulate his creative output. By doing so, he would like to show how machines were introduced to optimize the working processes, save time or increase accuracy,and open the question of how we became so dependent on them that we often forget what they actually do. Instead of hyping or damning the technology, he would like to invite visitors to reflect on the meaning and modes of existence of technology in a critical and sober way.
