Havoc
Tomáš Červený (CZ/SK)
A mythological comics wall exploring a combination of contemporary CGI technologies with the topics of heroic epic tradition, kitsch, pathos, violence and mythology. What is “violence”? What is “justice”? What does it mean to be a “hero” and what is the hero’s mission in society? These are the questions the author raises in his digital tapestry Havoc.
De toujours tu seras l'antépénultième peril
Kévin Ardito (FR)
This sculptural and musical installation diffuses cover versions of Billy Joel’s song Honesty. It uses digital and robotic media to question our relationship with transparency and lies in an entertaining and mischievous way: skull-shaped robots singing a song about honesty. The recorded voices lend some warmth to the robotic coldness of the artwork by adding an organic element to the robots, blurring assessments of identity or the reasons for their presence. The background simulates an Aurora Borealis, which is reflected on the skulls and the surrounding environment.

I Am Here
Dorin Cucicov (MD)
I Am Here is an interactive experience powered by human interaction. An ambiguous digital presence invites you to an exploratory dialogue. How well can you understand the entity and its intentions? Does the movement influence the digital form, or does the form dictate your movements? I Am Here explores the possibilities of outsourcing human personality to digital forms. It attempts to blur the differences between interhuman and human-computer interaction.
Meanwhile In China
Yang Mu & Sai Bao – Matthias Schäfer (DE), Sofia Braga (IT)
Douyin 抖音, internationally known as TikTok, has become one of the world’s most successful apps and a leading platform for creating and sharing short videos. It was developed by Beijingbased Bytedance and is one of the few apps that has been successful outside the big firewall. To comply with Chinese law, Douyin is a completely independent app from TikTok. Although the user interface and logo look the same, the content is completely different and not accessible in the international version. The goal of this work is to explore and analyze this vast digital ecosystem from different perspectives: screenshots capture a moment in a rapidly changing environment, determined by Douyin’s artificially intelligent recommendation algorithm. These found images are then decontextualized without change to give visitors space and opportunity to think about them and gain insights into a delimited platform and its algorithms used to show you the most engaging content.
