  • Alias – A teachable “parasite” for your smart assistant

    by Filip Visnjic

    Created by Bjørn Karmann and Tore Knudsen, Alias is a teachable “parasite” that is designed to give users more control over their smart assistants, both when it comes to customisation and privacy. Through a simple app the user can train Alias to react on a custom wake-word/sound, and once trained, Alias can take control over your home assistant by activating it for you.…

  • Alt-C – Designing for synergy between our ecosystems and network economics

    by Filip Visnjic

    Created by Michael Sedbon, Alt-C is an installation that uses electricity produced by plants to power a single board computer mining a cryptocurrency. The project questions our relationship to ecosystems in regards to networked technologies and abstraction problematics. During the photosynthesis process, green plants release sugars and organic matters in the soil. These nutrients will then be digested by bacterias releasing electrons. As…

  • Bit – The demise of chance and the rise of algorithm

    by Filip Visnjic

    Created bu Jonghong Park  at the University of the Arts Bremen (Digital Media Program), the installation ‘bit’ represents a natural random process based on the principle of a Markov chain. Each machine consists of "information" engraved on the read head and an "event" caused by the operation of the motor. Linked together using a Markov chain algorithm, one can predict which of the four…

  • Manus – Exploring pack behaviours in autonomous robots

    by Filip Visnjic

    Created by Madeline Gannon for the 2018 Annual Meeting of New Champions at the The World Economic Forum, in Tianjin, China, Manus is a set of ten industrial robots that are programmed to behave like a pack of animals. While each robot moves independently, they share the same central brain. So instead of acting in isolation, they have intertwined behaviors that ripple through the group as people walk…

  • Fiberbots – Framework for cooperative (swarm) robotic manufacturing

    by Filip Visnjic

    Created by the team at MIT Media Lab's Meditated Matter Group, Fiberbots is a digital fabrication framework fusing cooperative swarm robotic manufacturing with abilities to generate highly sophisticated material structures. The framework can enable design and digital fabrication of large-scale structures with high spatial resolution leveraging mobile fabrication nodes, or robotic ‘agents’. Some of nature’s most successful organisms collaborate in a swarm fashion. Nature’s…

  • Face Trade – Art vending machine that trades mugshots for “free” portraits

    by Filip Visnjic

    Face Trade is an Art Vending Machine created by Matthias Dörfelt that dispenses unique prints of computer generated face drawings. Instead of paying with money, buyers trade a mugshot that is taken on the spot in order to be permanently stored in the Ethereum Blockchain, consequently turning the transaction into a semi-permanent Face Swap. With Face Trade Matthias wanted to create a playful tension between…
