Artificial Arcadia – Measured and adjustable landscapes

Created by Fragmentin in collaboration with KOSMOS architects, 'Artificial Arcadia' is an interactive installation that creates a performative scenographic landscape for visitors to explore and calls them to consider how contemporary landscape entangles natural, artificial and digital realms. The design of the space is inspired by the aesthetic of Swiss man-made infrastructure such as tunnels through mountains, dams through rivers, irrigation systems,…

Algorithmic Drive – Spectacular car(au)tonomy

Created by François Quévillon, 'Algorithmic Drive' is an interactive installation and performance inspired by inspired by autonomous cars and dash cam compilations. The work plays with the tension generated by confronting the technologies used by mobile robotics with the unpredictable nature of the world. "Several technical, economical, legal, moral and ethical issues are raised by vehicles that maneuver without human intervention by feeding and…

Blackberry Winter – Artificial human motion in asymmetry

Created by Christian Mio Loclair (Waltz Binaire), 'Blackberry Winter' is an investigation into the possibilities of identify motion as a continuous walk in a latent space of situations. The work is a triptychon of artificial human motion in asymmetry. The team developed three different choreographies of human bodies and their ongoing neural relationship in reference to each other, using their custom machine learning solution to…
