ECOLALIA
Klaus Spiess (AT), Ulla Rauter (AT), Emanuel Gollob (AT), Rotraud Kern (AT)
By 2100, one third of biological species and nine tenths of languages will have disappeared. Under the impact of this simultaneous decline in diversity, we design ECOLALIA, a poetry of extinction and disappearance as a deep learning process emanating from the real-time chemo-vibrational conditioning of oral microbes. Audiences visually and aurally attune their speech sounds to the life and death of their fragile oral flora, becoming bilingual co-authors of the post-anthropocene.
A parallel (r)evolution — Digital Art in Latin America

Have You Seen Her...?
Dora Ytzell Bartilotti (MX)
Participatory art piece that seeks to generate a poetic gesture of search and collective demand to make present our missing women, victims of forced disappearance in Mexico. The project seeks to bring together a polyphony of voices around the question “La has visto...?” (“Have you seen her?”) through a sound sculpture and a series of fabric strips. Each strip corresponds to a missing identity, to each of them the question: “La has visto?”

Global Shift
Humans have made far-reaching changes to the natural living environment for their own purposes. Apart from the concrete wastelands and the refuse we produce, there are many other examples that testify to this. But it hasn’t always been that way.
Understanding AI
What is artificial intelligence? And what do we actually know about human intelligence? How intelligent can artificial intelligence be in comparison? And more importantly: what effects will the advances in this field have on our society?
