Reeps One (UK)

Second Self is an art and science collaboration between Reeps One, Dada Bots and the E.A.T. program at Nokia Bell Labs.

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.

Hidden Alliances_versteckt verbunden Book Launch

Lecture: Lona Gaikis. 20 female artists in electronic art/music tell quite a different story and together they weave a fascinating network of interrelationships.

Humanity (Fall of the Damned)

Scott Eaton (US/UK)

One thousand hand-drawn figures, “painted” with Eaton’s Bodies neural network. The composition of tumbling, intertwined figures embodies the visceral human experience and humanity’s ongoing struggle with its own nature and its consequences.

Resurrecting the Sublime

Christina Agapakis (US)/Ginkgo Bioworks, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg (UK), Sissel Tolaas (NO)

The Hibiscadelphus wilderianus was once indigenous to the southern slopes of Mount Haleakalā in Maui, Hawaii, before colonial cattle ranching destroyed the plant's habitat. Resurrecting the Sublime reconstructs the smell of this hibiscus which was last seen in 1912, along with two other extinct species, the Orbexilum stipulatum, and the ‘Leucadendron grandiflorum (Salisb.) R. Br.’

Deep Data Prototypes 1, 2 + 3

Andy Gracie (UK)

A real-time astrobiological experiment, a performative laboratory, where custom-built equipment operates according to data sourced throughout the solar system. Terrestrial organisms become our space explorers by proxy.

Human Study #4, La Classe

Patrick Tresset (FR)

Nine robots act as stylized pupils in the "classroom." They learn to pass the time and obey the teacher during the lesson represented in theatrical performance. Even after revolting, they get back in line to follow what is being taught. Childhood memories, Jacques Tati, Theodor W. Adorno and Michel Foucault influenced Patrick Tresset for this art installation.
