Craving Future Realities and more

Andreas Ingerl (DE), Moritz Schell (DE)

The portrait of two young women — a loving team that complements each other with all their habits and rituals like two puzzle pieces. This is a couple’s declaration of love for one another — a snapshot of their present and a speculation about their future, because what could happen if a piece of the puzzle is suddenly taken away?

Google’s project Quick, Draw! trains a neural network to recognize the meaning of scribbles. The foundation lies in a giant database of doodling drawn by people all over the world. What happens if one extracts these scribbles from the database and has a robotic drawing machine overlay hundreds of them?

Aurora

Tony Boche (DE), Sabrina Kirschberger (DE), Lena Müller (DE), Tim Schreiber (DE)

Aurora is a voice interface that represents a singular form of artificial intelligence that functions as a human-machine interaction. The scenario of the installation is the development of a form of AI that sees itself as conscious of nature. Aurora’s voice is visually supported by a digital replica of the aurora borealis, while her essence is a symbiosis of nature and machine.

Das Ding

Das Ding (The Thing) is an experience that makes an old, forgotten CRT television the center of attention. The goal is to fulfill its original purpose: Das Ding wants to be watched.

Curiosity is one of the most important characteristics of humanity; the secrets of our genetic code are now being revealed with a paradoxical simplicity; a form of inquisitiveness that does not yet realize the potential consequences. Would you still dare to take a look?
