Sentientia

Dorin Cucicov (MD)

Sentientia attempts to reconstruct the experience of a sentient creature that learns to interact with the external world. Inspired by Dr. Frankenstein’s creature, Sentientia sends audio signals to its environment and waits for a response to establish an emotional connection. Emotional combinations are generated by the machine and transformed into sound. Once the system understands that it has a mind and is conscious of its surroundings, will it start looking for entities like itself to create social networks of emotional intelligence?

Lichtzeichen

Lars Schrodberger (DE)

Language is the key to human communication. Ever since the invention of letterpress and book printing, humans have been fascinated by type and language. However, the written language has lost its magic over the years. That’s why I want to bring back life to the magic and mysticism of type and language. In order to achieve this, I created a machine for translating and interpreting written words, texts or single letters into emotional and abstract light signals.

the shell constructs a narrative on both sides of a monitor, behind which something is hidden. This is caused by the observation in front of the monitor.
