Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python’s design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant whitespace.
Title Excerpt Metadata Color
Spectrum Slit – A light that can see radiowaves
Spectrum Slit transforms the hidden storm of radio waves into a physical experience by using LED filaments, translating digital traffic into bursts of light and sound, exposing the constant and invasive density of our modern world.
current_state – World’s mood, each day, as generated music
current_state is a fictional-functional product that analyzes daily news from major regions worldwide to understand global sentiment, then generates music that represents the world's mood each day.
Perpétuité II – An algorithmic sisyphus
This "algorithmic Sisyphus" explores the technoneoliberal dream: a perpetual, post-human choreography where machines replace us as masters of infinite repetition.
Latent Reflection – A trapped AI reflects on its own finite existence
Latent Reflection is an installation that explores the boundaries of machine consciousness, posing the question of whether sentience is exclusive to biological life or if it can emerge from complex computation.
The Anemoia Device – A Scent-Memory Machine
The Anemoia Device uses generative AI to distill photos into bespoke fragrances. This scent-memory machine, guided by language and visual models, creates a singular scent composition, evoking anemoia: nostalgia for a life you never lived.
Unbubble – Revealing our tailor-made (many) realities
Unbubble explore user’s Instagram activity, exposing the paradox of our digital lives—guarded devices yet open to algorithms. By visualizing these hidden interactions, it reflects on how data shapes our identities and online bubbles.
Memoria – Fragility of human connections
Memoria is an experimental photo album application that visualizes the fading of human connections: as the shared moments decrease, the people in the photo album gradually disappear.
Hot Air Factory – Clouds are heavier than you think
An experiment by oio, the Hot Air Factory visualizes the energy consumption of AI. As the internal computer heats up, it releases warm air—the stronger the wind, the harder the thinking.
Submirror – Self-perception, loss of control, and digital puppetry
Submirror is a body of work by Atelier Lozano-Hemmer comprised of mirrors that do not reflect faithfully; they act with intention, manipulating the viewer’s image to reveal a version of the self that is not their own.
the two – Is it possible for robots to fall in love?
Two robotic arms with cameras, connected to computers running deep neural networks, are trained to recognize and track each other as they move independently.
Calliope – An Online Generative Music System for Symbolic Multi-Track Composition
Calliope is a browser-based tool for co-creative multi-track music composition, developed by the Metacreation Lab. It supports multiple generative tasks, complete multi-track generation, rhythm and melody creation, harmonization, and chord progres...
To Heat a Candle with the Warmth of You – Material realities of (AI) computation
To Heat a Candle with the Warmth of You explores the energy consumption of AI through the medium of heat. The self-referencing system is prompted and the resulting heat from the computation slowly melts and erodes the candle in the physical world.
reversediffusion.xyz – A reversed perspective on generative AI
Reversediffusion.xyz visualizes how AI-generated images emerge from a complex mathematical space built on millions of human-created training images. By zooming in on this space as a context for everything the model produces, it provides a reversed...

Organised and led by Madeline Gannon, Improvisational Machines is a workshop that brings live coding, dynamic interfaces, and flexible workflows into industrial robotics.
War – Confronting conflict as it is spoken
War is a near real-time, physical manifestation of the language of conflict. It delivers quotes from news coverage of wars around the world, stripping away context and narrative to present war as it is: familiar, messy, and contradicting.
Seesaw Economy Manifesto – A mechanism of worth, care, and emotional resonance
Seesaw Economy Manifesto is a relational installation that reimagines value exchange through embodied interaction, ambiguity, and co-created meaning. Departing from the metaphor of economic balance as a static scale—neutral, rigid, and abstract—th...
The Closed World – Modified telescope to observe a machine-generated cosmos
The Closed World is about truth in an age of machine-generated content. It takes a telescope - an instrument of truth - and intercepts the path of cosmic light with that of a simulated universe.
