Feminist Data Set
Caroline Sinders (US)
Feminist Data Set acts as a means to combat bias and introduce the possibility of data collection as a feminist practice, aiming to produce a slice of data to intervene in larger civic and private networks. Exploring its potential to disrupt larger systems by generating new forms of agency, this work asks: can data collection itself function as an artwork?
Facebook Algorithmic Factory
Vladan Joler (RS)
Facebook Algorithmic Factory sheds light on the invisible processes that take place inside the world’s largest social network. Inside this black box, non-transparent algorithms are deciding what kind of content will become a part of our reality, what will be censored or deleted, which ideas will spread and what news will gain most visibility. They are also defining new forms of labour and exploitation.
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.
Distributed Robotic Assembly for Timber Structures
Samuel Leder (US), Ramon Weber (CH)
Dieses multidisziplinäre Forschungsprojekt beschäftigt sich mit autonomen maschinellen Kollektiven, die bauliche Strukturen erstellen.
Anatomy of an AI System
Vladan Joler (RS), Kate Crawford (AU)
Anatomy of an AI uses the example of Amazon Echo to show the countless components and factors behind the production of artificial intelligence systems. But this process is so complex that its full extent can hardly be comprehended.
Ai-Da Robot Artist
Oxfordians (UK, INT), Aidan Meller (UK), Lucy Seal (UK)
Ai-Da ist der weltweit erste ultrarealistische KI-Künstlerroboter. Sie kann zeichnen und ist Performance-Künstlerin. Als Maschine mit KI-Fähigkeiten ist ihre Künstlerpersönlichkeit selbst das Kunstwerk, ebenso wie ihre Zeichnungen, Performancekunst und kollaborativen Gemälde und Skulpturen. Sie ermutigt uns, über ethische Fragen bei der Entwicklung neuer Technologien nachzudenken.
What a Ghost Dreams Of
h.o (INT)
What is a “ghost”? Generally it is understood as an inner “soul” and a mysterious outward appearance. What a Ghost Dreams Of grapples with a new “ghost” of our time: digital surveillance in our society.
UngenauBot
Ilmar Hurkxkens (NL), Fabian Bircher (CH)
UngenauBot combines highly developed robot technology with an everyday rubber glove performing banal activities. By deliberately exploiting empirical errors in robotic systems and artificial intelligence, this work demonstrates the limits of technology when things don’t go according to plan.
