WE CASCADE
Facade projection for Ars Electronica 2023
In cooperation with Johanna Bruckner, Tina Frank & Claudia Rohrmoser Audio-Mix: Karin Fisslthaler
Four artists collectively explore the origins of ideas and respond to each other’s work with human algorithms, by providing their work to the other collaborators for remixing and reworking. The vertical projection format is reminiscent of social media, ideas flowing in a cascading mix of expressions, reactions and mash-ups. Such exchanges are intended to provoke reflection on the circulation of ideas, questions of authorship and to point to the influences of AI-based idea generation or modern forms of social contact between people through moving images.
Inspired by the work processes and works of the media pioneer Lillian Schwartz, the artists develop a collaborative video work. They address the question of the origin of ideas and their transformation in networks.
In a rapidly changing technological landscape of AI-based algorithms that repeat, vary and adapt existing ideas millions of times over, the artists use each other’s existing works as a starting point to create individual responses and variations on them. Like a cascade, forms of expression, reactions, digital gestures and mash-ups of ideas flow into across the large scale projection.
