Meandering River

Meandering River is an audiovisual art installation comprised of real-time visuals and music composed by an A.I. through machine learning. The piece reinterprets the shifting behavior of rivers in the landscape, regarded from a bird’s eye view. Minor changes of riverbeds are not visible for the bare eye, as they are gradually happening over time. Spanning over multiple screens Meandering River visualizes these altering landscapes and makes the changes visible. It leaves the observer with a unique perception of time.

Frontiers || Territories

Boundaries are constantly being changed, and those we find today may have already changed tomorrow. In a protected area of the Greater Lisbon area, aerial images are collected to build a map with open source software. These are shared through a website that is, itself, also a map, allowing for the visualization of economic, ecological and social while trying to see how well a territory / protected area is respected – “para mais tarde recordar” (for later recall).

To Be Or Not To Be

This project explores our relationship with daily-use AI consumer electronic products. It challenges the design techniques used to make AI products more ‘reliable’ and ‘comfortable’ from the consumer’s point of view. Three AI products have been re-aestheticised from an unheimlich (uncanny) perspective. By making the audience experiment with the ‘Anti-Alexa Experience,’ this project aims to promote socio-technical knowledge and introduce critical thinking towards daily AI products and services.
