Maria CHOIR is an immersive human-AI musical installation that invites participants to explore the boundaries of singing and listening through real-time interaction with an AI. This artwork leverages a model trained on the voice of singer Maria Arnal, enabling a unique duet between visitor and AI that evolves with each interaction, becoming a choir.
METABOLICA opens up the factory of life and in five chapters tells a story of change from the industrial revolution to the present and future, from whaling and petromodernity to current and future scenarios of biochemistry. Living organisms such as algae and bacteria become collaborators that lead to a new aesthetic and artistic practice through…
Inspired by a speculative project by architect Rem Koolhaas—who planned to bring a museum inside a data center—but reversing it by bringing a data center inside a museum, P2P celebrates peer communities created by artists who have used the internet to share works and knowledge over the last twenty years.
Self-Care is a multi-media artwork and installation exploring notions of care, labor, intergenerational trauma, and bodies, as well as the impact of the gender binary on so-called “female” healthcare. Self-Care aims to critically examine notions of care, the role of gender in medicine, ableism, and familial relationships surrounding notions of disease. The project attempts to…
Although money plays a key role in our lives, the workings of our monetary and financial system are a mystery to most of us. The Waterworks of Money demystifies the world of big finance by visualizing the flow of money through our society. It explores several options for improvement using new technologies—with the ultimate goal…
The VRJ Palestine initiative (Virtual Reality Journey to pre-Nakba Palestine) delves into the potential and challenges of Virtual Reality tools to reclaim and recapture Nakba’s lost landscapes. Using archival data and survivors‘ accounts to virtually reconstruct the Palestinian villages demolished in 1948, it aims to preserve intergenerational memories conveyed through stories and photos.
How might an installation engage not with humans directly, but with their minds? AUTOPOIESIS offers an experience that defies easy interpretation, oscillating between activation and deceleration. It utilizes our sensory system, converting light and sound into neurophysiological processes, exploring how audio-visual stimuli affect the brain.
Prometheus Firebringer is a lecture-performance about generative AI, technology and power. On the performance side, the predictive text model GPT-4 generates speculative versions of the lost final play of Aeschylus’ Prometheia trilogy. Each night, a chorus of AI-generated Greek masks performs a new iteration. On the lecture side, Dorsen delivers a talk made up entirely…
Echinoidea Future – Adriatic Sensing explores the biogeological and morphological conditions impacting the sea urchin habitat. Anthropogenic liquid waste threatens their environment, leading to low oxygen levels in seawater. The study focuses on dissolved oxygen flux in coastal areas, revealing pollution’s profound impact on biodiversity. The ongoing dialogue prompts reflection on oceanic changes, transcending ecological…
Korallysis is a hybrid organism made up of technological devices and coral colonies that coexist in a mutualistic relationship. It is formed from ceramic segments, based on a geometry that allows it to adapt to the seabed. Its structure creates an ideal habitat for the development of coral communities, as a refuge for fish in…
Calculating Empires is a large-scale visual manifesto by Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler that critically engages with the relationship between technology and power over five centuries. By merging research and design, science and art, Joler and Crawford go beyond the current spectacles of artificial intelligence to ask how we got here—and consider where we might…
Arts at CERN is the arts program of CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland. Since 2012, when the first artist in residence arrived, we invite artists to experience how physicists and engineers use the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments to explore the big questions about the Universe. Arts at…
