mi/e-metic self – Building a slave to the digital media’s consumer culture

Created by Saurabh Datta, 'mi/e-metic self' is an installation that represents a sculptural being, a memetic representation of an evolved us. Inspired by the work of Patricia S. Churchland on Neuro-Philosophy where she tries to explain the basic neuroscience by giving simplified analogies of different nervous systems to machine systems, Saurabh built an embodied installation, a metaphor, a form of a slave to the…

object blue & TSVI: Thought Experiment – Organic to electronic evolutionary processes

Created by Matteo Zamagni, this video speculates the shift from organic to electronic evolutionary processes. Cybernetic organisms, partly made of organic structures and part electronic components respond to their environment in a variety of ways at an ever-increasing speed. The video has been performed live in real-time, recorded, and subsequently edited to retain the best composition and motion. Matteo used Ableton Live, TouchDesigner…

Invisible Network – A ‘social network’ for the machines

Created by Evan Kelly at ECAL (Media and Interaction Design BA) 'Invisible Network' is a portable device that makes communication between machines perceptible and tangible. This device acts as a mediator between the user and the machines that surround him. Through its screen, it indicates the relations that it maintains with its personal environment. In our daily environment, electronic devices, such as our phones,…

The Entropy Gardens – A spatiotemporal poem in VR

Created by Vienna based Depart (Leonhard Lass and Gregor Ladenhauf), 'The Entropy Gardens' is an explorative VR experience that challenges one of humanity’s most archetypical art forms – garden making. It explores its myths, aesthetics and modes of perception. Like a garden, The Entropy Gardens attempts to become a spatiotemporal poem — a poetic organism. In the form of a sprawling journey it constructs a hermetic, virtual garden…

On Framing Textile Ambiguities – Nathalie Gebert

Created by Nathalie Gebert, 'On Framing Textile Ambiguities' is artistic research on situated objectivities at the intersection of textile processing and computer history. The installation is the output of a critical investigation on social and technical developments that led to the current local technological situation. Beyond being a metaphor for the theoretical framework of Donna Haraway's Situated Knowledges, the thread that wanders through the installation…

A studio sun system with light-artist Arnout Meijer – Random Studio

Created by Random Studio in collaboration with Arnout Meijer and RWA Electronics, the project is comprised of a lighting system in Random's studio that emulates the movement of the sun and the ever-evolving states of natural light. The custom created dynamic infrastructure and software of the installation allow Random to control each LED light pixel individually and is built to cater for numerous inputs…

Silk Pavilion II – Mediated Matter Group at the MoMA

Latest in the series of groundbreaking projects by Mediated Matter Group (MIT Media Lab) is the new successor to the Silk Pavilion (2013) project, results currently on show (subject to COVID-19 restrictions) at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The project utilizes an integrated kinetic mandrel designed to guide the natural spinning motion of the silkworms through clockwise rotation,…

grindruberairbnb.exposed – Network and invisible systems of control

Created by Jonathan Chomko, 'grindruberairbnb.exposed' is an exploratory project into networks' ability to guide movement through physical space - the name concatenates three popular digital services which perform acts of choreography on a mass scale. While aiming to 'expose' these as systems of control, the project also aims to create a vision of collective action enabled by the network. Using a custom…
