The winners of this year’s Futurelab Ideas Expedition present and discuss their projects Inference Ground Truth and Corpus Corax. While traces of movement are recorded using Gaussian Splatting, an experimental human-raven-translator reflects on interspecies communication. Both works critically re-negotiate the relationship between humans, machines, and non-human intelligences through speculative and technologically innovative approaches.
