ARchaeologies

Pedro Soares (PT)

In Archaeologies, we’re faced with a sheet of paper in which an iconic picture from the past was engraved through folding. Observers may use the available materials to produce their own drawings while simultaneously revealing the hidden image. By observing the piece with an Augmented Reality app, we can see the strata that contain each individual citation made by the participants and how every new intervention is conditioned by the ones before it.

ATMOSPHERE ©

Sean Terriblini (AU/US)

ATMOSPHERE © is a design intervention which explores the future potential of AI in new aesthetic dimensions by visualizing the anthropogenic pressures of urban environments such as air pollution. Through ritualistic interactions with a totemic object utilizing machine learning and a global network of air pollution sensors, the object is capable of forecasting air pollution levels 24 hours in advance, allowing audiences to re-interpret their faith in technology through a lens of technoanimism and divination.
