Content Aware Studies#Autoesthetics#Engistemics#ReverseArchaeology#SyntheticHistories#Cognitecture

Initiated in 2018, ongoing.
A critical and aesthetic case study on the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of historical documents, incl. those of classical, art and natural histories. Through generated quasi-historical objects carved in stone, this series questions the epistemological qualities of synthetic historiography, akin to AI driven 'reverse archaeology'.

Hashd0x | Proof of War#Infodemic#NetzSchmerz#Softvereignty#EngineeredTruth

Initiated in 2022. Custom built sofware & hardware camera, smart contract protocol, mobile app.
Hashd0x is an artist initiated dApp addressing disinformation via on-chain evidence. The work Proof of War uses it to 3D-scan a bombed house in Borodyanka, storing drone images on-chain as an uncensored record of war crimes.

One and Infinite Chairs#Cyberdolia#Infollution#Autoesthetics#Engistemics

2023. ckpt-format file of a collapsed Stable Diffusion Ai model, film-essay.
A text-to-image AI model was given the prompt “A single chair on a white background.” After six iterations of retraining on its own outputs, the autocannibalised model lost ability to produce realistic chair images, but non-figurative digital noise instead. Thus revealing model collapse and its fragility to recursive data feedback loops.

The New Color#Infodemic#Infollution#Knowlegistic#EngineeredTruth

2011-2018. Online intervention. 5-ch. video installation, film, website: thenewcolor.net, book.

An online mystification concerning a parascientific break through discovery of a never-before-seen colour. The digital myth took the form of a fictitious company's website, video adverts and mockumentary interviews to become a viral sensation attracting mass attention online.

URL Stone#Engistemics#VirtuReal#EpisteMachine

2015. Marble, JPG File, 2-ch. video, GPS sensor, website.
The work examines the longevity of media carriers: text carved in stone vs .jpeg file on Wikipedia. Both reference each other. The first to vanish reveals its fragility.

Decentralised Embargo#AIoT#NetzSchmerz#Softvereignty#ComputEcology

2022. EnBW electricity contract, rack case, open frame server, Ethereum blockchain mining software.
A high-end multi-GPU server in a Berlin gallery runs continuously on electricity derived from Russian gas. It mines cryptocurrency directly to Ukraine’s official donation address, converting the energy source of aggression into financial aid for its victim.

I Print, Therefore I Am#Knowlegistic#EpisteMachine#TechnoGnosis

2014. Modified printer, plotter paper, 5 litres of ink.

A modified digital printer is able to continuously perform printing on a looped-back sheet of paper, running for two months, throughout the entire duration of the show, is repeatedly reproducing one line of text: I Print Therefore, I Am.

Chinese Ink#Autoesthetics#TechnoPlural#TechnoGnosis

2018. E-ink screens, GAN Ai model, custom assembled dataset, custom-loop server; custom developed playback software driver.
E-ink screens are set to display moving images streamlined by an AI (GAN) algorithm trained on images of inkblots and set to generate similar images at the rate of thousands a minute.

Twelve Nodes#MindMining#Infodemic#Infollution#Softvereignty#InterFaith#ComputEcology

2019. Marble, e-ink screens, custom software & circuit boards, flag.
Twelve Nodes addresses the importance of ethical issues in relation to the misuse of personal data and proposes a collective design for the Fair Data standard, inspired by the Twelve Tables – the first written legal code of ancient Rome.

Kickback#Infollution#NetzSchmerz

2014. White t-shirts, film; duration: 02'19".

Kickback is a series of interventions in global fast-fashion retail stores in which modified goods are returned for resale to offer critical commentary on current consumption–production ethics.

Fact Caching#Infollution#Knowlegistic#Softvereignty#EngineeredTruth

2022. E-ink screens, plexiglass, open-source software, fragments of films by investigative journalists.
Fact Caching protects investigative journalism. Censored archives are safeguarded against blocking by being hosted as tiny data bits across thousands of nodes on decentralised networks.

PropaGAN#Infodemic#MetaParanoia#NetzSchmerz#EngineeredTruth

2022. Small format custom build server, steel open frame chassis and frame, machine learning algorithms, custom dataset, stereo sound.
A generative algorithmic moving image is synchronised to an audio clip. The morphing visuals choreograph explosions and billowing smoke, while the audio - the voices of senior diplomats from autocratic regimes - rationalises their ongoing war crimes.

The Link#VirtuReal#InterFaith#EpisteMachinery#ComputEcology

2015. Plexiglass, steel, led, streaming 360 web-camera, website.
A three-metre object with LED-illuminated text engraving: 'http://this-is-the.link/between/the/real-and-virtual' is installed in public space, facing a 360-degree camera. The displayed URL leads to a live panoramic stream of the site itself, allowing viewers to inhabit the same moment both online and on location, collapsing the boundary between physical and virtual spaces.

Air Kiss#AIgency#Algocracy#Softvereignty#TechnoGnosis#ComputEcology#Cognitecture

2017. Film, 19’34”, 5-ch. video installation, book.
The multi-channel video installation portrays scenes of a future in which governance has largely been outsourced to AI. It is set in a highly automated Moscow in the year 2050.

The Moment, The Past#InterFaith#EpisteMachinery

2014. LED display board; documentation film: 01’13”.

Emitting the brightest possible cold, white light - the text running across the LED display board repetitively states: “...This very moment, has already become the past – This very mo...”

Unfolding#Knowlegistic#VirtuReal#EpisteMachinery#Cognitecture

2011. Movement sensor, PC, film; duration: 1'35''.
The general human question infinitely sinks in the depths of a sequence of virtual space architecture. Each new mouse click takes us away from an answer and question, just as each following step of the development of media environment and virtualization moves us further away from the understanding of what makes reality real.
