The Internet Yami-Ichi

IDPW (JP), Sofia Braga (AT)

The Internet Yami-Ichi, from the Japanese “Internet Black Market,” but also “sickness” and “addiction,” is a flea market where people consumed by the Internet can share and buy Internet-related things in real life. In this weird market, you can browse through the booths and find the amazing and the useless—in an ironic and humorous atmosphere reminiscent of the early Internet era.

Behind the Robots Eyes

Daman Diawara (US)

In the framework of the Scientist in Residence Program, Gluon launched a project with artist Manthia Diawara and researchers Tarek Besold (Alpha Health AI Lab) and Raoul Frese (Faculty of Sciences, Physics and Astronomy, VU Amsterdam). The first meeting took place at Manthia’s residency in the village of Yenne, near Dakar, Senegal. The artist and the researchers reflected together on the relationship of Senegalese people with technology and artificial intelligence, and they carried on interviews with women working on the market, fishermen and a traditional healer. The project will be further developed over the course of 2019 and will result in a movie.

SHE BON

Sarah Petkus (US)

The SHE BON project is a collection of body augments which sense aspects of the wearer’s physical state in order to communicate sexual arousal.
