Prompted Monads by Boris Čučković Berger
Starting from Munich’s Akademiestraße as a symbolic intersection of AI research at LMU, generative media art at the Kunstakademie, and Bertolt Brecht’s literary legacy, the text by art historian Boris Čučković Berger shows how artistic practice can make political responsibility visible, which systematically disappears in totalizing AI narratives. He proposes to study AI not as a comprehensive totalization, but as a monad. The concept of the monad reflects social and technical conditions in a fractured way, without providing a direct overview of the whole.

Vibe coding the future by Simon Denny
In an impressive analysis, Simon Denny traces how influential AI technology companies deliberately take up the modernist imagery and rhetoric of Italian Futurism in order to culturally anchor a new militaristic technology policy. In his artistic practice, Denny combines plotter techniques, AI-generated image models, and the aesthetics of historical Futurism, making these entanglements of technology, art, and militarization visible and critically negotiable.

Vectofascism – Part I: Vectoaesthetics by Gregory Chatonsky
Gregory Chatonsky coined the term vectofascism for a political development that transforms classic mechanisms of fascism (the cult of the leader, the suppression of truth, the construction of an enemy) into the high-dimensional latent spaces of AI models. He examines the economics of lies, according to which it is easier to produce a lie than to refute it. As a counter-strategy, he drafts a common awareness of the existential threat to human life posed by the ecological catastrophe.

Hello World, 2024
digital animation, color, sound 3840x3840px, 00:02:22, loop
„Hello World“ visualizes a digital artifact transforming into a state of hyperreality by slowly reinterpreting media-historical images. After mistaking the artifact for the first ever photograph, the first color photo, the first silent film and the first digital image, the narrating entity finally recognizes the rock-like shape as it is about to fall down to earth.

Scanning my Grandparents Wallcarpet + Carpet Beater, 2024
two-channel video and audio installation, two projections on radiators, sonified carpet patterns, video color, sound, no language, ca. 5 - 6 min, loop
This two-channel video/sound installation transforms artifacts of my fading memories of Moldova into sound, creating rhythmic patterns projected onto radiators. The sonified artifacts highlight the fact that intergenerational memory stored in carpets, passed down through generations. Sonified photographs and carpet patterns explore the elusive nature of memory in the post-digital age.

„Drifting through 128 dimensions of a humpback whale“ enables direct interaction with the high-dimensional vector space of a model trained on recordings of humpback whales. Using two joysticks visitors can move through this space, gaining an immediate sense of its structure.

hold my tongue, 2024
2-channel video, colour, sound, English, Japanese, German 768x576px, 1600x1200px, 00:05:00, loop
I recently learned that according to some linguistic theory I should be part of someone else’s ‚extended self territory‘, as I’m part of a culture where the self territory extends hereditarily. I’m talking about my diet here, and, ahem. What driving to my great-grandmother’s grave has explaining a seaweed based tongue twister. This work - a footnote with a footnote - is an uneasy encounter between, passports landscapes and moments in which I should have held my tongue. This work is arguably Akcadgacent.

unsolved questions, 2024
audio, printed paper 01: 00’02: 47, 02: 00’01:46, A4
A wish to do a song, a trap song loosely around the idea of mutuality crafted with generative AI. Facing some obstacles and several ethical and aesthetical dilemmas in the process. Many unresolved questions.
Deciding to result/ike to focus on some of those issues by using fragments from the lawsuit filed by RIAA - the Recording Industry Association of America- against Suno AI - the tool I am using to create the song - and the response from Suno’s CEO into a trap song. Crafted of course with generative AI.

The fictitious company F-ACO offers its services to the global security and military markets. Their latest product is a newly developed system for the taxonomy of human emotions based on facial micro-expressions, which is purportedly able to reveal a person’s true self in its efforts to map the human face using deep neural networks. F-ACO echoes 19th century pseudoscientific research that led to scientific racism and eugenics.
