MENTAL STATES

Mental confusion, fears and dead-end states form the undercurrent of this program. A young woman breaks free of her everyday life and embarks on an uncertain journey. A story about outsiders in a pub, a group therapy session with animals, and a boy trapped in societal constructions.

Artificial Light
Max Seeger (DE)

How does a neural network learn to see and how can we shape the perception of artificial intelligence? In a very experimental and fundamental manner, this project tries to study perception and recreation of light phenomena by artificial intelligence.

Doing Nothing with AI
Emanuel Gollob (AT)

In order to promote a doing nothing state in 2019, Emanuel Gollob and his team created a neuroreactive robotic installation, using live EEG-measurements and a real-time adapting choreography. Over time a generative algorithm increasingly learns to move the installation in a way that best supports the viewer’s mind-wandering process.

GENDER

This program portrays fairly diverse gender positions: A man and a woman meet each other – an unpleasant yet at the same time provocative situation between attraction and rejection. An experimental animation about gender and sexuality with vagina and penis as its main elements. An analysis of anorexia and a black comedy about a couple with differing attitudes towards gender norms.

SAT 7.9. | 16:30 – 17:00

Lichtzeichen
Lars Schrodberger (DE)

Language is the key to human communication. Ever since the invention of letterpress and book printing, humans have been fascinated by type and language. However, the written language has lost its magic over the years. That’s why I want to bring back life to the magic and mysticism of type and language. In order to achieve this, I created a machine for translating and interpreting written words, texts or single letters into emotional and abstract light signals.

Dialogue III: Anatomies of AI
